treasures in the attic

Since it's so cold out I thought we'd just grab a cup of something steamy and climb upstairs to prowl around the AtticMag. There's taste, insight and inspiration up to the rafters there. Look at this intriquing comparison between kitchens of today and those of a hundred years ago - not for their differences, but for their similarities. I hauled down a few photos to show you but there's way more, so let's fill our cups and go. Or vice versa.

Kitchen Contrasts 1920-2010

From Jane F: "Many times I’ve mentioned the Victorian era kitchen style popular between 1900-1930 and how we keep reinventing it nearly a century later. Still, there’s nothing quite like actual photos of vintage kitchens — like The Kitchen Practical, 1929, above — side-by-side with recently renovated kitchens to put the point across specifically. When I came across an album of 1920s kitchens, it became clear to me how much things had changed – and also how little."
