Retro-ish kitchen

Apartment Therapy hints at a Fourth of July innuendo, but I don't see that at all. Ok, maybe I do. But not enough to make me dislike anything about this kitchen (except the proximity of the dishwasher to the stove, which kind of wastes that corner of counter space).

I love:

• The wall color
• The red accent in the back splash
• The stove (which totally reminds me of my parents' vintage stove)
• The fact that there is a dishwasher
• The little blue bowl on the counter (I have one that is very similar)
• The red KitchenAid mixer (normally would not like the red, but it works)
• The IKEA lid rack (kind of like mine)
• The IKEA shelf (just like mine)
• The fabulously colorful pots and pans
  
• The pots/dishes on top of the shelf
• The radishes (nice touch for a photo)
  
• The fact that (I assume) they changed out the knobs on the counters and stove

In general, I prefer yellow as a primary kitchen color, but overall, I love this. It's just very well done, and all the accents are superb. Something about it feels very retro, but still modern, and I think it works nicely.
