Retro Kitchen With a Wilsonart Boomerang Laminate Countertop

We love a good retro kitchen renovation like this one by Meghan Meyer. She is the Florida blogger behind Metaphors Mixed. Her 1950s stove and midcentury ranch house fueled the decision to go vintage-inspired. But the trick was creating a cool cooking space that was not dripping in retro kitsch.

Going with a Jetson's inspired laminate countertop by Wilsonart called Glacier Boomerang set the vintage tone. To keep the kitchen from feeling dated Meyer opted for several modern features. First, there is the herringbone subway tile backsplash in cream, gray, and blue. While the cabinets look like old metal ones, they are brand-new wood cabinets with retro-inspired knobs. The spanking fresh ceramic sink works with the cooking space's retro appearance, but because it is an under-mount, it adds modern convenience.
