The Evolution of the Modern Kitchen
March 7, 2009 |
Owners of older homes often ask us what style of fixtures, cabinets, and hardware would have been original to their kitchens. By understanding the original, one can better determine how to authentically renovate this oft-altered space in a manner respectful of the home’s period style.
Join Karla Pearlstein, vintage house consultant, as she explains the evolution of the modern kitchen from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. Using images from period magazines, brochures, and catalogues, this program will provide attendees with a clear understanding of how kitchens evolved from a water pump, a few pieces of free standing furniture, and a wood cook stove to the built-in cabinetry and sporty chrome and enamel that became widespread from the 1930s onward. Pre-registration is strongly recommended, 503-231-7264 or go online to www.VisitAHC.org.
