Welcome family and friends to the heart of the home.
Add 1940s Flair
It’s easy and inexpensive to bring the look of yesterday straight into your modern-day kitchen…just accessorize. Here, bright, colorful dishtowels in throwback floral fabrics combine with simple, wide wood-paneled walls and classic tile flooring to create a kitchen Grandma would be proud of!
Keep It Fresh
Always in style, the fruit-and-vegetable motif is a kitchen staple. Update it to work with today’s kitchen with new fabrics and stain-resistant wall- coverings, then incorporate those vintage treasures (or buy inexpensive reproductions) for an authentic look.Photos: Philip Clayton-Thompson;

Serve Up Style
To achieve this nostalgic look, gather up vintage cookware, kitschy tin canisters and ceramics in limited colors and patterns. Display on shelves, in open cabinets or atop a beautiful old stove like the one shown here. •
