Amazing painted photos of the kitchens of the first half of the 20th century

The kitchen is a special place in the house that can tell a lot about its owners. Whether a large family gathers here for cooking or dinner, or does a person prefer to eat alone, are the gourmets of the house owners, or do they like simple, understandable food, how much the kitchen owners are attached to home food, or maybe the kitchen exists in their housing only as a decor - If you look at this room, you can understand a lot. One look at the kitchen can tell about the culture, era, wealth and character of the owners of the house.

That is why it is so interesting to look at a retro-selection of photographs showing how the kitchens looked in the west in the first half of the 20th century. This amazing collection of color shots is priceless. It is incredibly curious to consider what devices and appliances were used in the kitchens a hundred years ago, who prepared how and how furniture and kitchen utensils looked. This is a real find for those who like to travel in time and see how and what people lived before.
