If you love vintage kitchens, ultra-modern midcentury design, kitchen technology, or…okay, just kitchen talk in general, you’ve got to check out my latest post at The Kitchen Hour.
In it, I compare two “futuristic” kitchen designs by Whirlpool Brand. One was created in 1959, and the other from this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. From the post:
I love old stuff, and this is reflected in my decorating style. But in my kitchen, it’s logical and easy to blend old and new. I do most of my mixing with a simple metal whisk, but appreciate that I can reach for my immersion blender when I need it. I love my collection of 1950s Pyrex bowls and my old-fashioned Dutch Oven, but I’m glad to have a thoroughly modern oven to use them in….
As a species we are innovators and dreamers: to create is to be human. Nowhere is that better illustrated than in these two “futuristic” Whirlpool kitchens, separated by five decades of technology and progress but connected by imagination, creativity, and a vision for a better tomorrow.
There’s even an awesome video of the original Miracle Kitchen. Please head over and read the post!

I attended the Consumer Electronics Show as a correspondent for Whirlpool Corporation, and have been compensated for my time and travel.



Usually I do not learn post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to take a look at and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice article.
nothing compares to a vintage kitchen design, it’s classy and more sophisticated than ever. Though, futuristic is kinda interesting but for me I’ll stick to vintage.
