Keeping with our kitchen theme, I am posting pictures of modern kitchens that I think have a vintage flair and would be appropriate for an older home.
Oh, I really like islands…

A lovely selection of vintage-look kitchens.
One thing bothers me though:
As a kitchen designer, I have replaced an awful lot of wood countertops over the years because they were mildewy and scorched.
Unless you want to plan on replacing yours too, I suggest honed granite instead.
Here’s an example:

No, no, not islands! Please! To my way of thinking, it kind of puts a boot through all the effort to achieve true vintage style. Our grandmothers had a kitchen table in the middle of the room, where they worked and ate as needed. You can only sit at an island if you make a special overhanging countertop, and buy special counter-height stools. The kitchen table could travel to another room for entertaining or, say, a sewing project. Islands can’t move. The kitchen table can be whatever size you want, but changing the size of an island is a construction project. Just my personal hobbyhorse…
