I spent some time today scouring Pinterest for inspiration. I decided to share the 10 best vintage kitchens that I found. You see, I am dying to renovate my circa 1965 kitchen. However, I kind of like the old-school charm. Because I like retro-inspired and vintage cool things, I kind of secretly like my outdated mess of a kitchen.
Regardless, here are my picks.

So, you see that vintage kitchens really are a trend that some people do love. Does this mean that I can hold off on my kitchen renovation? Unfortunately, it does not. There are too many mechanical upgrades that need to be tackled. But part of me really hates the idea of disturbing 50 years of country kitchen history.
