Calgary-based couple Joe Hamilton and Marcia Andreychuk created a lifelike replica of The Simpsons kitchen in their home. Every aspect of the kitchen is based on illustrations from the iconic cartoon series.
The kitchen features numerous quirky aspects such as corn on the cob curtains, a green stove and colorful purple cabinets. By creating a retro kitchen, the couple pays tribute to an iconic television show while saving money on renovations. For example, the kitchen's bright blue counte rtop only costs this kitchen's owner's about $20.
Marcia stated that they conducted a retrovation, which is a renovation that projects an old-school theme. This unique version of The Simpsons kitchen adds a lot of character to this Calgary couple's home and is sure to be a conversation starter among guests.
