"What exactly is the retro housewife? She is someone who chooses to stay at home to be a wife and mother. She has options to work outside of the home but prefers to make her living as the manager of her own household.
The retro housewife is responsible for all of the domestic chores that housewives had no choice but to do in previous generations. She cooks, cleans and crafts. She decorates the home, entertains guests and makes sure everything is organized.
The difference between her and an old-fashioned housewife is that she chooses this way of life and so revels in it. There are no chains holding her, here. She is a housewife because she loves to be one. Her home reflects this.
Of course, there are many different shapes and sizes of retro housewives. But a lot of them do take cheeky inspiration from the lives of their mothers, grandmothers and the women who came before them. Their homes are decorated with 1950's style and a focus on areas like the kitchen and laundry room."-The Retro Housewife's Perfect Home
