Atomic cabinet pulls modernize a 60s birch kitchen

These kitchen cabinets are SO TYPICAL of the postwar era. Birch with three-quarter (or traditional) overlay doors. The three-quarter or traditional means that the doors do not entirely cover (”full overlay”) the cabinet box, which is what you see with most vintage steel kitchen cabinets.
What I really like about this 1961 kitchen is how they’ve used atomic style cabinet pulls to modernize the look. You can still get these - in a nice heavy chrome on brass, with the backplate – from Rejuvenation Lighting.
Also very cool: the countertop, the yellow sink, the floor, the wallpaper and the chairs and dinette - which you can also replicate today with Modernica’s Case Study series.
