we have a vintage 1930's kitchen - original everything including bright yellow tile! i would go establish a very neutral but vintage inspired base: replace the floor, replace the hardware with stainless vintage look hardware. lose the curtains and replace them with bamboo blinds. i would keep the look clean and fresh - well painted white cabinets (you may need to sand the heck out of them to give them a clean look) and a soft gray for the walls - and choose stainless when buying even your small appliances. then you can add flavor - choose artwork in sleek white or black frames for a more modern edge, or hang vintage artwork, colorful plates etc. if you want to make it more kitschy.
