The little touches here are great. The orange tea kettle and mixer. The colorful retro glasses. The old-fashioned shade of paint for the cabinets. Lovely.

Mixing finishes is not really new, nor is it the sole province of the higher end of the market. The lived-in and welcoming appearance of this kitchen asks the viewer to sit down for a cup of coffee and piece of pie. And really, at the end of the day that's what a kitchen is for.

White appliances are a great choice for a vintage-style kitchen as well. This eclectic room is full of bright colors and quirky touches; adding stainless appliances would not work in this retro mix.

6. Keep an open mind. Remove your upper cabinet doors for quaint cottage appeal and add your most colorful dishware for a picture-perfect effect.

The oldest trick in the book: Paint the cabinets a vintage color and replace the hardware. The rustic island makes it all look intentionally shabby chic. Very cute.

I like the backsplash in the kitchen and I like the mix of colors of cabinets.

I do like this - it's somewhat similar to my kitchen - but much better.

Ah! I love the rustic island and the use of color! As much as I like white kitchens, it's ones like this that make me smile, so I guess I just need to decide what color would make me smile the most on my new cabinets!! Cooking is fun, so my kitchen should be fun, too!

great island.
