I Want a Retro 1950's Chrome and Formica Kitchen Just Like Mom's

 

I would love to have a vintage 1940's/1950's kitchen one day.  I love the old formica and chrome dining sets, like this one at Classic Kitchens and More.  My mom had one for years. 

I remember my brother got quite a spanking when he was about five for punching holes with a pin in one of the chairs.  It's a favorite family story - for me anyway.  Not so much for my little brother.

Anyway, decorating a vintage kitchen can be expensive and time consuming, although for some people that might be the best part (shopping antique stores, yard sales, thrift stores). 

But if you're on a budget, I found a neat place online that sells vintage reproductions.  It's Jack and Friends Retro and Vintage Productions.  I like the cute little salt and pepper shakers.  I especially like this reproduction sign:

If only I could convince my girls of this truth!
