It’s been a while since I shamelessly stole a cool kitchen out from under The Kitchn‘s nose, so let’s rectify that, shall we? Posted on the super-site just yesterday, Tim & Sarah’s Blue and Red Philidelphia Kitchen jumped right out at me, for obvious reasons. People, it’s blue and red.
As much as I love my clean white kitchens, this place just puts a smile on my face. The combo of light blue and dark red isn’t so much “Stars and Stripes” to my eyes as reminiscent of Cath Kidston, queen of retro prints. These colours are perfect for this space’s retro theme, carried through by the vintage-style appliances and bright red accessories. I also love the subtle patterns at play here- see how the mini-tile backsplash interacts with the striped tea towel?
See all the kitchen photos here, and the rest of Tim and Sarah’s charming house here.
I just adored this kitchen when it came in through my Google reader. I want this kitchen so badly!!!!
This is really fun, not my style at all, but I really apperciate the charm and whimsy!
It seems like a toy house. Great! Where is the tap?
If the blue were a shade darker, it would be very similar to the shades of blue used in 1940s kitchens during WWII.
Not complaining, though, since I love this shade of blue. My own preference is retro kitchens in red and white, so this kitchen is a nice alternative for someone who loves red.
