Kitchen minimalism




In the era of the U-shaped room kitchens decked out with as many toys as can be afforded, it's interesting to understand what was considered a modern kitchen nearly a century ago. This is the Electrochef modern kitchen, designed in the 20s.

I love the functional minimalism. The surfaces are easy to clean. Everything is at the perfect height. One doesn't need to bend over to get something out of the oven. And because it is on a stand instead of taking up floor space, it's feasible to put a few pots and pans under the unit and out of the way. Interesting design.

Dream Kitchen



How amazing is this kitchen. I love the mix of chairs in the eating area. Be sure to check out the rest of the house and to click on the picture, since Blogger likes to cut parts out.
