Retro Kitchen Decked Out With Bright, Sunny Yellow Shades
The homeowner wanted a retro kitchen with modern conveniences, and Jackson Design and Remodeling delivered with a sunny, yellow space that straddles both the 20th and 21st centuries. The traditional concept of a checkered floor is given a modern update with an irregular pattern, and brand-new, vintage-inspired appliances complete the space.
Curved Yellow-and-Black Tile Countertops
The countertop in retro kitchen features a rounded edge, eliminating painful encounters with pointy corners. The black tile trim hints at Art Deco design in this retro space with modern features.
Movable Island: Now You See It
The center island provides extra countertop space when needed during food preparation or social gatherings.
Movable Island: Now You Don't
With the lightweight island removed, the homeowner now can move freely about the kitchen's work triangle.
Sunny, Yellow Kitchen With Storage-Friendly White Cabinetry
White maple cabinetry with Shaker-style doors and black, ceramic hardware offer an abundance of storage in this bright, sunny kitchen.
White Retro Cabinets With Metal Door Inserts
The upper cabinet doors include metal inserts, offering the perfect spot for the homeowner to display her favorite magnets. The white inserts offer a sleek finish that's in keeping with this kitchen's retro design.
Modern Yellow Stove With Retro-Inspired Detail
The centerpiece of this sunny kitchen is a brand-new, retro-inspired stove. Though it has all of the function of a state-of-the-art appliance, its curved top and period-inspired controls give it the vintage look of a 20th century appliance.
Retro Yellow Tile Countertop and Backsplash With Black Trim
New windows and the yellow tile countertop and backsplash each come with black trim, offering a bit of a modern edge.
Yellow, Retro-Inspired Refrigerator
A buttery yellow refrigerator with softly curved edges recalls the past while providing all the function of today. White cabinets and doors provide enough contrast to the space to keep the yellow tones from overwhelming, while still maintaining the brightness of the space.
