A Step Stool in Every Retro Kitchen

Of course, we all remember our grandmother's kitchen with that fun step stool she had. As kids, didn't we pull it out and play with it? I sure remember those times.

The step stool was a necessity in those days of the 1950's. And for the same reasons that it's needed today. But the look of those step stools is definitely unique to the retro kitchen.

The mid-century ushered in a new world. Called modern back then, it came out of the space age technology. As much it came out of post-war activity. The women of the 1950's had experienced working in the factories, earning their own money and doing more than keeping the home fires burning. Their kitchens reflected this new freedom.

The world of the country kitchen with all of it's stand-alone storage furniture was gone. In came built-in cabinets. And these cabinets were now reaching above the sink and counters. Even above the refrigerator. Women needed help reaching those top shelves.

Enter the step stool. Gramma didn't need a ladder or a tall son to reach everything. She could do it herself.

In creating a retro kitchen of your own, a retro step stool makes a great addition. Not just for the look but also for the convenience. You can reach whatever top shelf you want to as well.
