Vintage Retro 50's / 60's Kitchen Unit - currently at £5.04

I've just found this stunning vintage piece that would look fabulous in your new "country style" kitchen. At the time of writing this article it's at the rock bottom price of £5.04 although I cannot see it staying at that, it's just too lovely. Imagine it as the centre piece of the kitchen, store things in it, chop things on it and maybe even sit on it. It doesn't matter if the colour doesn't fit with your current theme, it can be painted.

And now down to the item itself, it easily splits into two sections for easy transport, is 176cm high, 90cm wide and has a depth of 55cm. Made from plywood with an solid oak worktop and painted in a cream finish, it is just waiting for the right person to whisk it away from Wiltshire to a loving home. Once again, don't miss out on this beautiful vintage dresser, bid now.

Retro Kitchen Cupboard (1950's style) starting at £35

Quick, grab a bargain. This retro piece would make an outstanding addition to any funky kitchen. Okay, it has been pre-loved and needs some attention to bring it back to its former glory, but once finished it could make all the difference to your room. Just imagine storing all your plates, cutlery, pots, pans and other implements in this handsome item, you'd no doubt be the envy of all your neighbours.

It is listed as "needs some refurbishment", but with bids starting from £35, a bit of sandpaper, a coat of paint and plenty of elbow grease could really make this the finishing touch to your shabby chic style kitchen. Centrally located in Wolverhampton, and standing at 176cm high by 76cm wide and 38cm deep, it would fit into a large car or small van, so what are you waiting for, start bidding now.

Vintage Kitchen Larder Unit for serious restoration

OK, so here's a kitchen larder unit for someone who isn't afraid of some serious restoration and repair work, but it's still cheap enough to make it viable if you have enough motivation. At £4.99 with no bids yet, you could pick up this 1950s retro Hygena kitchen larder unit which has been with the same family since it was bought in 1953.

There's quite a lot of grime to clean considering the larder unit has been stored in a garage and sadly the bottom panel has rotted, so would need replacing. But all the bits and pieces are there, and it does have a lined bread compartment and vegetable cupboard with three wire wracks. A good thorough clean and a new bottom panel and you're ready to rock, or alternatively, stripping and repainting would be a viable option. At 6ft high, you'd currently be paying less than £1 per foot!

Retro kitchen cabinet without the refurbishment

You might want the retro look without the need to get involved in sanding and repainting, and there’s definitely no shame in that! Our own kitchen project is taking way longer than expected due to other priorities, such as the fact I’m running my own business, and we have a young family to look after.

And if so, there are still good solutions around to get the look you want…

This new retro kitchen cabinet is on Ebay right now for £375 as a Buy It Now option. It’s obviously a bit pricier than buying something which might need a bit of work, but then again, once it’s in your house, all the hard work is done!

It’s 181cm high, 90cm wide, and 44cm deep, in wood with upper glass doors. It also has 2 drawers, 2 lower doors and a pull-out work surface…

A serious piece of vintage kitchen furniture...

Want to get a retro or vintage 1950s feel for your kitchen without having to buy loads of little bits? Picking up one massive 1950s kitchen cabinet would save you a bit of time and effort!
By way of example, this is currently on eBay with a bit of time left for bidding:

OK, you'll probably need a reasonably-sized kitchen for it to work, but just look at all that storage! And even adding the cost of collection, it's shaping up to go for a reasonably bargain price... We're pretty tempted, but we've still got tiling to do - and possibly knocking down a wall before we can start refitting...
