This kitchen in a 1920s apartment in Stockholm featured in Elle Decoration Sweden is absolutely gorgeous. It was totally renovated but they maintained the peeling and cracked ceiling, added some Ikea cabinetry mixed with vintage pieces, Carrera marble, tiled walls, funky lighting… The resulting space looks like it has been there since the 20’s. SWOON! (photos: Martin Löf)

I love vintage kitchens. There is something so comforting and unpretentious about them, filled with character and they look even better with scratches in the butcher block, wine stains on the counters, and pots and pans hanging from any surface with a hook. I thought I would do a round-up of vintage kitchens (love the ones with industrial touches too) in the hopes of inspiring anyone who has a vintage kitchen to maybe reconsider updating it. Because you may regret it.

I am not usually a fan of white walls but in this case, when the home is filled with earthy colours and textures brought in with vintage furnishings complete with peeling paint, it works. Really really well. I love this location house available via Shoot Factory.

This is the perfect corner. Rustic and chic. From the Brookyln home of Aya Yamanouchi-Lloyd – as seen here via Homelife.

OK so I’m not sure it’s a farm just a farm house but what a perfect home to grow a family. Layers of living. Life’s little treasures strewn here and there. The old and the new. Gumboots and four legged friends and concrete floors. Plaid and beams and bingo cards. Just bliss. Kent farmhouse from jj Locations.
