American Furniture
Is Early American furniture out of style in a kitchen?
I have a Tell City hard rock maple kitchen table and chairs and a hutch of the same maple wood in the breakfast area of my kitchen. Is this completely out of style?
Yeah, Gracie M!
Technically, almost everything we usually have in our homes is "out of style".
The trick is to blend it with other styles.themes/objects to give it a more "present" look.
If you have antique plates, etc, add some of more recent vintage, such as Fiesta, in matching or complementary colors.
Replace an old table runner or doily with a colored straw mat or woven placemat or stone trivet.
Use a modern vase with old-fashioned peonies or violets. Use old tablecloths as fabric in a modern valence pattern for windows [ or new print in an old pattern ].
I'm pretty sure your appliances, counters, and floors are a lot more modern than your table set, so you're already started.
Just try to keep colors, woods, and fabrics/textures that are not "matchy-matchy", but work together.
