What is the traditional kitchen? Is it merely the room in which your mother, grandmother and great aunt Etta prepared every meal? Can it be called a traditional kitchen as long as it contained a stove, sink and refrigerator? If the above elements combine to make a strong, elegant statement that is characteristic of the European and American kitchens of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, then yes, the kitchen can be called traditional. A formal use of natural materials, ornamental detailing and vintage hardware are all distinguishing elements of a traditional kitchen.
