Kitchen Tour: Restored Vintage Kitchen - Part 3

Icebox-Age Impersonation

The refrigerator is a modern built-in model with freezer drawers on the bottom, but it's covered with cabinetry-matching wood panels to evoke the look of an old-fashioned icebox. Hefty door handles and hinges enhance the effect. The refrigerator wall accounts for most of the storage and countertop space in the compact kitchen, in keeping with the original layout.



Sandwiched Subway Tile

Set between other wall elements, a subway-tile backsplash adds another historical pattern. The quarry tile's antique-white color and coarse texture create a vintage look.


 
Pristine Period Plumbing
The homeowners found the wide sink with built-in drainboards at a plumbing-supply house that specializes in antique fixtures. The 1940s Kohler model, from the company's original inventory, looked brand new.


Warm Woods That Work Well

The cherry cabinetry is a simple design that evokes fine crafting of old. The countertops are wood, too, another period touch. Their darker mahogany creates a bit of subtle contrast.
