The Best Retro Kitchen Essentials Under 100$

April 16, 2019~ kitchen

It’s no secret that I’ve got kitchens on my mind. We’re putting together a retro glam kitchen this spring for the One Room Challenge, and are having a blast pulling all our dream elements into place. I’ve been scouring the internet looking for the best deals, and today I get to show you the best retro kitchen decor under 100$.

Check out my Retro Glam Kitchen Renovation Plans, or that time I used removable wallpaper to make a backsplash.

I’ve been looking at a range of items from small countertop appliances, to decor, and every day must-haves. There’s a lot out there, and even though I’ve made my decisions and have placed my orders, I’m going to share all my finds with you!

AD: The Champagne Oak flooring from @goldenselect is the one element (other than paint) that runs throughout our house! It’s a unifying element, and brings depth to each space, especially the ones built around neutrals. It’s waterproof, exceptionally durable (to pets and kids!) and easy to clean. It’s also the flooring we installed in our last home, so you know we love it!
