I adore blonde wood cabinets (and furniture)! Will eventually strip and finish my kitchen cabs, but for now the cherry color is very nice and is the original finish.

I have my mother-in-law’s yellow Sunbeam stand mixer and a Sunbeam self-lowering toaster. Both will look smashing on my kitchen counter.

Yikes! PBC…posting before coffee… I meant to say…the mixer is over at MIL’s house, she had the same one.

I have a similar toaster, and the mixer is over the same one my MIL had.

It’s a nice kitchen for sure, a unique idea for the cupboard doors too.

Hi,

I don’t know about the roosters, but what threw me was seeing the Eames DCMs around that blob shaped table. It’s a nice match. I think the table was custom made for that kitchen/shot, and it has something of a Gilbert Rohde influence. Seems to be attached to the wall, also. The picture is hard to read, but I think I’m seeing a George Nelson clock above, and a Sunbeam toaster over on the counter.

Love this one, Pam! I feel better already about my kitchen cabinets, which I stripped of the old yellowed varnish and “limed” with a white Minwax stain in the early 90s.

Those knobs are great!
