You can’t deny that the first thing you notice about today’s retro kitchen is the surprising turquoise sink.

This is one of the prettiest kitchens I’ve seen. I like that it’s on the smaller side yet still packs a lot of style. The sink is amazing and the floor is a worthy match, not to mention the Shaker style cabinets and vintage hardware.

I had a smaller sink like this (in white) in the first home I ever owned. I loved it and had a cabinet built underneath to fit it perfectly, rounded corners and all.

  2. Oh, my heart be still!!! From the cabinets stretched aaaaaaaaaall the way to the ceiling, to that beautifully tiled floor, and of course the sink (and did you notice that faucet?) I think this is my absolute favorite kitchen in all of blog land! Thanks for this perfect post, Jennifer. A wonderful way to end my Saturday morning coffee time, before I get up off the couch and start my day. You put the sunshine in this gloomy midwestern morning!
