Ahhh, school holidays. Time to browse online and fantasy-shop. I googled '1950s diner furniture' and discovered a most inspiring website. Look at these stunning kitchens. My life is missing many things, but at the moment I think I would prefer a sleek and sturdy formica table and chairs to another wobbly-legged boyfriend.
Of course, these are the kind of items I dream of stumbling across in a charity shop, but sadly never do. A table and 4 chairs from this website would cost about £1500.
This kitchen is so beautiful. My heart is all a-flutter at the glossy duck-egg blue fridge and units. I think celestial angels must cook in a kitchen just like this (making buttercream cupcakes, of course).
It's a good job we're all different my dear - I'm so not a fan of anything from 1950s-1990s! Just looks old fashioned to me! I'll put my hand up and say the failing is completely my own. But would definitely prefer a solid wood kitchen myself. You can't beat a bit of natural wood. Btw enjoy the rest of your week off as I trundle back to work tomorrow. Wish we could all stay on holiday forever...
ReplyDeleteCompared to my usual preferences (Victoriana and Deco) then the 50s is ultra modern!
ReplyDeleteI see by your tweets you are on the Sambuca already!!!!
Yes - haven't had one for several weeks. Hardly ever drink unless I'm out but make the exception for a sambuca. Love the aniseed! Need something to take the sting away from work tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I LOVE aniseed - I shall have to check it out. Neat or mixed?
ReplyDeleteNeat but it is very sweet. Have you not had a flaming sambuca at the end of a meal when it is set fire to? I prefer to keep my alcohol at it's max level so leave mine unflamed. Do love it but the sweetness does mean that it is consumed only in small doses.
