In planning our kitchen reno on the cheap - a lot of paint, lino squares, a new counter top and a pantry is all I'm likely getting folks! I was trying to decide on a theme - right now it is the original 1970 kitchen - and it wasn't a trendy kitchen then. It is cottage-y and cramped and I keep our food in the hallway in a linen closet.
I was thinking of going with a 50's kitsch theme, but I rebelled against my own quirkiness with my more political quirkiness and decided to go with a less common kitschy kitchen theme.
Soviet Propaganda.
DOWN WITH KITCHEN SLAVERY!LET THERE BE A NEW HOUSEHOLD LIFE!
Yes! Communism will free you from household drudgery with the promise of spa days!
My dishes are in these colours but damn it I NEED a soviet red sink!

The truth of the matter is there is a nostalgia for me in decorating around images of feminist uprising. My childhood kitchen was decorated around a poster of Whistler's mother...holding a submachine gun It said WOMEN'S LIBERATION - IT'S GONNA GET YOUR MAMA, AND YOUR SISTER, AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I'd hang it in the kitchen, but there isn't any wall space. I kinda think my male family members might feel a tad threatened too.

bwahahaha! This is why I love you! I too rebel against 50's kitsch, in spite of having a 50's kitsch kitchen! I couldn't bear to fill it full of pastel retro cottage items because that's just so over-done!
I like your theme, you freak!
Well now, we just happen to have a Soviet red sink that will be available at some point. I just don't know when the contractors are going to be able to schedule us.
