Modern Retro, the new age of bold beauty. Mid century elements with a new polished stain are accurately being referred to as modern retro. I personally love them because they always produce that mixed feeling inside. They beautifully recall about grandma’s youth and are yet new. They kindly invite you to tell your own story around them.

Speaking of childhood memories, I easily recall the joy brought by the miraculous kettle who could whistle and say the tea for breakfast is almost ready. It recalls about the warmth and joy of the jasmine scented kitchen. Number one on my ‘to buy’ list: the Tea Kettle. It is being sold by Sears at a very good price.

Now that tea is ready, please enjoy a sip from this lovely tea cup with Scandinavian-retro elements of design. Created by the talented Lotta Odelius, the design embodies floral and geometrical elements recalling about the charming 1950’s. Welcome this beautiful darling to your kitchen collection. It is being sold by ModCloth at a reasonable price.
You may also consider a new stainless flatware to assort with the dishes. A simple clean design is incorporated in the Satin Sand Dune collection, offered by Oneida.

Next item in our retro story: the Retro Red Wall Clock. The other day I ran into a very interesting project created by Hoss Gifford, the distressful watch. It tells you the time assuming that you don’t really need the exact seconds, so instead of 7:03 it will tell you that it’s a bit past seven. Next to this funny project, I would list our lovely retro watch that will tell you the accurate time but stands no chance to generate stress. It holds serenity within its arms. You can find it at Walmart at a bargain price. Its timeless design tells so many beautiful stories about the time that passes by.

Sticking to other practical items in your kitchen, we should not neglect the dishwasher. We owe it and should be grateful to Josephine Cochrane who invented this marvel piece at the end of the 19th century. By now, people at Bosch have worked hard on making the dishwasher better with each new series. The Bosch Ascenta series and the SHE6AP0 respectively incorporate product excellence and great design. Around winter holidays you can find it at a very good price at AJ Madison and in several other stores.

In today’s suite of recommended products shines a beautiful light pendant. It recalls of the London loft atmosphere of the early 20th Century. The design is so knowledgeable, distinct and simple. A range of 3 such pendants flashing direct light over the dining table is a very inspired choice. The Kichler light pendant is being sold for $156, at Lighting Showplace.

Completing the scheme of our retro range, comes the modern retro chair, which recalls of Arne Jacobsen’s swan chair created in 1956. Our contemporary piece is in acrylic, either white or violet transparent. You can find it at Unique Contemporary Solutions. It is sure to make an artistic statement in your kitchen.

Last on our list, just to add some spice to the whole, we picked a salt and pepper mill by Trudeau, in tune with our retro suite of products. We hope that today’s redesign suggestions will turn your kitchen into truly enjoyable home space. Have fun redecorating with Lifestylehomestore.
