Shabby Chic · Kitchen: Open Shelving and White Porcelain

A shabby chic vintage kitchen. The base cabinets are old wooden ones painted grayish-white, with shallow paneling on the doors and white porcelain round knobs, distressed at the edges and bottom to reveal the wood. There are no upper cabinets; instead, several layers of open old wooden shelves are stacked with mismatched white porcelain plates, glass jars, and wicker baskets. The countertop is white marble or whitewashed wood, showing signs of use and stains. The sink is a deep white ceramic trough, and the faucet is an old, tarnished brass bridge style. The walls are tiled with handmade-feeling white tiles, with not perfectly straight grout lines. An old crystal chandelier hangs above the sink. Avoid: using modern integrated kitchen units and closed upper cabinets, using stainless steel countertops and appliance panels, having a perfectly clean countertop with no signs of use, using perfectly uniform machine-made tiles.

一間破舊復古風的廚房。下櫃是漆成灰白的舊木作,門片有淺線腳、把手是白瓷圓鈕,邊緣與下緣磨出木色。上方沒有吊櫃,取而代之是幾層開放的舊木層架,上面疊著不成套的白瓷盤、玻璃罐與柳條籃。檯面是白色的大理石或刷白的木頭,有使用的痕跡與污漬。水槽是一個深的白陶槽,龍頭是舊的橋式黃銅已經失去光澤。牆面貼白色的手工感磁磚,縫隙不完全平直。水槽上方掛一盞舊水晶吊燈。避免:使用現代的整體廚具與封閉吊櫃、使用不鏽鋼檯面與電器面板、讓檯面完全乾淨無使用痕跡、使用工整均勻的機製磁磚。
