can this photograph be a kitchen? i hope so, because my new kitchen has those vintage yellow and black tiles, kind of like these (below) with white cabinets and appliances. so i went on the hunt for some inspiration for keeping it clean, bright and not too fussy. i don’t want to get too kitschy, i want it to have a nice contrast between the retro 1930′s tile, and a fresh, modern look. here’s just a few of my ideas.

the 1930′s tiles in my kitchen are a bit more muted or faded from age, but similar to this via markbakerstudios.

i plan to have my little white knoll tulip table in the kitchen nook, like this cute kitchen from the domino deco files (above & below), and i think i’ll paint my bentwood cafe chairs black to put around the table.

perhaps some black & white pieces to accessorize with, like these tiles from emma’s design blog, and fresh lemons are always a nice smelling idea.

i want to play up the black & white, like these kitchens via door sixteen, and emma’s design blog, and i’d like some black & white tea towels like this one (below) from skinny laminx.

perhaps some Cathrineholm pots, like these via krakencrafts.

i like these clean counter tops, and bertoia chairs are a nice option too, via candimandi.

i’ll no doubt need some fun vintage yellow ceramic serving pieces, like these via vintage-love, and perhaps some cheerful artwork, like this ‘death cab for cutie’ print from the small stakes.
