OK this isn’t directly related to my reno, but the MoMA currently has an exhibit called Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen.
The online exhibition is fantastic, especially some of the advertisements from the 20′s and 30′s encouraging everyone to get electric in their kitchen (which would have a slightly different meaning today) and a bunch of stills featuring movie kitchens over the past 80 years (including John Candy in Uncle Buck, at the MoMA, who would have thunk)?
It really makes me want to fly away to New York and check out the actual exhibition IRL. Sadly, up to my ears in renovating, so for now, savouring (yes, I couldn’t help myself) the website will have to suffice, including this fantastic poster, which I am seriously considering sourcing to put in my own kitchen. Wouldn’t that look fantastic with the red Marmoleum. Oh, haven’t I mentioned the Marmoleum yet?
