low And Black Vintage Kitchen CollectiblesToday I began my YELLOW and BLACK journey for kitchen collectibles. I have so much fun putting together different color combinations in my shop "Kitsch n Stuff". And it is time for a marriage of yellow and black.
Inspiration For Kitchen Ideas
All it takes for me to get started on
a particular palette is to see an appealing display in a shop I am visiting and I am off and running with new ideas for my own shop.Yellow, Black, Gray Is a Great Vintage Palette
Sometimes I will use the colors on a vintage tablecloth to
help me figure out a new color combination .... or in the case of today's yellow and black vintagekitchen, my inspiration came from a display of yellow, black , gray coffee mugs spotted at Salmon Brook Antiques in Granby, CT.

The 1950's house I grew up in had a yellow and black tiled bathroom. My aunt and uncle down the road had pink and black. The 50's atomic style is something that I didn't really appreciate as a child but I sure do like it now. I would give anything to have my aunt's kidney shaped coffee table and her aluminum Xmas tree. She was a trend setter!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! It's so hard for me to decide which vintage colors to have in the kitchen, which is now harder after seeing your post! Awesome! I have some yellow and black, but of course I mix it, because I can't decide!
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma had a pink kitchen! (cabinets, floors, and the knobs!)
