Definitely not my kitchen..
Haven't renovated my kitchen yet...since the last time I blogged about my dreams on how I'm gonna design it..
And for the don't know how many times..I've got more ideas!!
Well, It started with a very good friend of mine since university, Mona, bought a new house in my part of the town. She and her husband, Iif, who is also a friend of mine, have been doing some repairing to the house ever since and planning to move in at a couple of these months forward.
So, a couple of days ago, we went to look for drapes and curtains for the house.
We went by the house to put some stuffs first. The house is still being repaired here and there, and some furniture are still scattered around the house.
We came in through the kitchen. That's when I saw that huge teal green refrigerator and the gigantic stove and oven....haa!!! Retro to the core!!!!...
When I was in amazement, my friend kept on whining of how her mother kept on giving unused furniture from her old house to fill in my friends' house, in the time being.
Mona was so annoyed with my excitement..hahahaha..and she told how even her son complained about the color of the fridge..green..
When we got to the living room...there it was an enormous 3 seater sofa!!
That's when I started insisting my friend to do Retro as the concept for her house's interior design.
She's got the big ticket furniture that have already shouted Retro anyway..
The small furniture and other interior elements could just go with the flow and don't have to be so retro.
Probably just go with the color scheme, but with a more simple modern look.
She still thought I'm setting her up with something bad..
When we got to the drapes & curtains shop..
I can't believe that we found this!! hahahaha..
a bright colored floral pattern drapes!!
I kept saying to her that it was a sign...hahahaha..
Actually, I know that she won't buy the Retro idea..
That's why I kept on laughing out loud whenever I come up with my bizarre ideas and she kept turning that idea around as if I'm telling a big joke.
Mona has been friends with me when we studied Architecture. Her husband too..
I know exactly how her style is. And it's everything else, but Retro.
Mona said she's gonna get rid off of the gigantic furniture gradually when they have enough money to buy furniture for their own.
She knows exactly that I was the one who has always been the experimental type when coming to designing..hahaha..
I've let her know, that I would gladly take those stuff if her mom doesn't want to take them back whenever it's time.
Come On..
How cool will it be..
From doing it totally retro, with the checked flooring, either black and white or better yet red and canary yellow!
With all the metallic lining and back-splash..
The turquoise or teal green laminated cabinets...
make it modern retro..
Awesoooommmmeee....
