  Those two things don't really mesh at all.  Retro dinners were all about color and metal everywhere.  Beach feel is about neutrals and more natural materials.  You don't have to make a single room incorporate every like and dislike.  

  
  

  Are you planning to do major remodels, or just looking to accessorize?

  @BlueBirdMB: Just doing over all decorating. So it wouldn't be bad to have the kitchen different from all over rooms?

  It's not bad to have your kitchen a different style than the other rooms, especially if it's not an open concept kitchen.  Just have the room be consistent and coordinated.

  
  

  Kitchen decorating should be pretty minimal in my opinion.  I think you can decorate your eating space if you have one and then accessorize a little in the main kitchen.  When people start adding knick knacks about the cabinets and wall paper boarders, I think it gets overwhelming and dated.

  
  

  In our kitchen we:

  changed the cabinet hardware

  changed the island lighting

  added a yellow basket on the island

  added a yellow watering can on the counter

  added a yellow dish towel on the oven door

  changed the appliances

  
  

  In the eating area of the kitchen we have:

  a yellow basket on the table

  yellow and blue chairs

  a neutral colored chest of draws that we've repurposed into a side board

  hung white boxes on the wall above the side board and inside the boxes we placed cheap tea cups that I painted yellow
