All the cabinets are Geneva Modern Kitchens of that vintage--metal painted white. They are showing signs of their age. Can any one steer us to a source that can replace or repaint the original doors? We are in the Catskill Mountaains of southern New York State. Thanks for response. We have a total early 1950s kitchen with numerous cabinets.

Stove top and oven pink and works great. The cabinets are 1956 pink, but they have been painted over pink. I would love to sell all for the right price. I have an all pink kitchen.

It is a free-standing unit with sliding glass (original) on the top two shelves, an open area, a large drawer and two doors on the bottom. It needs to be repainted. It is white. In the drawer, I found several 1950's cook books. I will leave them with the cupboard. I live in northern California so please email me and we can discuss price.

Everything from stove/ovens that are spotless and in working order to a working Philco refrigerator and larger Jordan Freezer. If you are interested in taking a look before I call some collectors, let me know.

At this time is seems to be a 1930s kitchen updated with newer appliances, a fabulous 1951 Westinghouse two oven stove and a 1954 Hotpoint refrigerator. The sideboard and dining table are from the 1930s, a 30s toaster and waffle iron keep a 1950s vacuum coffee maker company on the Cosco kitchen cart. If it wasn't for the micro-convection oven above the stove, it would look like it had evolved over those decades. Something funny happened when I replaced my newer high tech high efficiency appliances with the older TANKS. I started cooking more and my power bill went Down.

I am remodeling my kitchen with a 1950's theme and found the RCA Estate Range that is shown above in the original pink kitchen. I found it on Craigslist here in Spokane, WA and talked the owner down from $450 to just $75 dollars. I am so proud of it and am very eager for my hubby to install it this week! I will keep this page bookmarked for more updates! I was so excited to see on this site, my oven, that I just purchased!

I was looking for 50's colours as I am redecorating my kitchen, post divorce. Not sure why I seem to be hooked on the 50's for my kitchen, I wonder if the cheerful pastel colours of the 50's are my kind of post-war optimism? My local vintage store had a 1950's apron with yellow and black print on white background which I bought. I also have a small number of bright red items that look really 50's to me. It seems like an odd colour mix but they did seem to have a number of colours which seemed to work. I suppose the pastels worked with the strong yellow or reds. By the way, which colour Smeg fridge would you have? Can't make up my mind - I have an extensive set of pale green everyday crockery (amongst all the other retro crockery on my shelves) that used to belong to my grandmother and is still being made today - it's called Berylware. It also comes in pale blue and cream. I'm wavering between the pale green or the cream fridge... These are great images, thanks.
