100-Year-Old Homemaking Hacks That Still Work and The Women Who Engineered Our Kitchens
What can we learn from vintage kitchens and the women who designed them?
In this video, I explore the surprising history behind early 20th-century homemaking time studies and the brilliant women, like Christine Frederick, Lillian Gilbreth, and Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, who revolutionized how we think about kitchen efficiency, layout, and domestic labor.
Whether you're curious about 100-year-old homemaking hacks that still work or the forgotten women who quietly engineered the kitchens we use today, this video blends vintage history with modern practicality. I’ll also share how I applied some of these timeless efficiency ideas in my own galley kitchen—and how you can, too.
Topics Covered:
- Vintage kitchen efficiency and design
- Forgotten female inventors and designers
- Homemaking time-motion studies
- Galley kitchens and the Frankfurt Kitchen
- Practical kitchen organization tips for today
If you're into vintage lifestyle, home organization, or celebrating women's contributions to design and daily life—this one’s for you.
