Pre-War Kitchen
Kitchens from about 1900 to 1940 tended to be white, utilitarian spaces with unfitted furnishings. Color and built-in cabinets were introduced in the 1920s, but it was not until the 1940s that they became standard. Iceboxes were common until the war, as were large freestanding or built in sinks with integrated drainboards and Hoosier cabinets. Linoleum was the floor covering of choice, often printed with bright patterns. The kitchen table was the primary work surface.
1936 dream kitchen features wall divider incorporating a built-in lazy susan table--just spin to serve and spin and close off from view with shutter doors. Note the metal edged counters and new style built-in sink and large refridgerator. Note the custom linoleum flooring. Various shades of green from mint to Jadite to teal were poplular kitchen colors from the 1920s through the 1940s.
Modern kitchen with the look of an earlier kitchen. Encasing the sink with Ceasarstone to look like an apron sink is interesting.
