How to go Industrial Vintage in your Kitchen

Going Industrial Vintage also known as

 Industrial Chic

in the kitchen can be easy...

if you know the most important

elements to pull it off...

 



I recommend starting with a color 
palate in your kitchen that is
 very neutral
light colors, such as white or linen..
as this will enhance
the  metal and wood textures
of the industrial items.



1. Storage Containers






 These boxes and bins
 be found in thrift stores, yard sales
&
be sure to check Ebay
and Etsy for good deals!


2. Lighting






These lights can add so much
of the industrial element
to your kitchen/dining room
****
 Some of these lights are easy enough to
make yourself if you are crafty
check out a previous post of mine to
see step by step directions:


3. Vintage Signage 








Old signage can be difficult to 
locate
 and pricey
its OK to buy repos
or make your own..
 visit Gina
at the shabby chic 
cottage for direction
on how to make the
chalk board tray above





4. metal chairs/stools and shelves
