I felt blog ego come upon me (horrors, ego!) when Ronn challenged my assessment that the countertop in this kitchen was original. Maybe yes, maybe no, but if his belief is that it’s 90s because of the integral backsplash and edge (rather than the pattern) – I did respond that I’ve spotted integral design for [...]
Following up on Monday’s exciting post about the Arpa USA palette of solid-color laminates, let’s take a look at how to use this material to recreate this 1959 Ma Bell kitchen. It would be oh-so-easy! Elements include: Laminate cabinetry using Arpa’s “Jardin” colorway. Cabinet pulls: Rejuvenation’s new midcentury “sharp arch”, in satin chrome Countertops are [...]
Cracked ice laminate seems to have been a very popular choice for vintage dinette table tops, and I hear from readers fairly often asking where they can find it for kitchen counters. Crackle ice laminate is still available from a number of sources online. Like the other special-order boomerang laminates available, these crackle ice laminates [...]
Update: Almost all of these designs are now discontinued. See my up-to-date stories on all retro laminates here: Kitchen/Countertops Category. UPDATE (Oct 2011): Click over to –> this story to get an update on all three sources for boomerang laminate. The countertops I removed from the two vanities in my 1951 bathrooms were [...]
I’ve written before about the Ralph Sr. and Sunny Wilson House in Temple, Texas – an amazing showcase of the innovative use of laminate that was built by the head of Wilsonart in the 1950s. The Wilson House is the the first and only home that has ever been named to the National Register of [...]

I need speed and up-time — so I use WP Engine
Hi,
I am new to this fantastic sight and I am having trouble navigating. I am very interested in this pink kitchen set but I don’t know how to find out info on it. The price, where it is. Can someone help me do some navigation!
I am going to be building a new house in a few years and I have decided to start searching for my perfect 1950′s kitchen now since I know it may take some time to find exactly what I am looking for. I adore Pam’s blue kitchen but I am aware that it may be next to impossible to find cabinets in any color that are in similar shape.
I am specifically looking for blue, pink or white all metal Geneva, St. Charles or GE but as long as the cabinets are in good to great shape I am not very particular.
I live in Vermont but I am willing to do some traveling if necessary for the perfect kitchen. My new kitchen will be quite large so I am going to need lots of cabinets!!
Thanks for your help!!

Katvt, the Forum is a separate site – it’s at the top of the nav bar, to the right. You must register.
As far as moving around this site, use “Search” and the “Categories.” Once you are in a post, you can also connect to other posts of the same ilk through the Tags. I do this all in my spare time, so it is not perfect. It is a journey of discovery – just like retro renovating – both require patience and a good attitude.
Separately, I have a lead on a large set of pinks, which I will be doing a post on shortly, they are in Indiana.
I love the pink kitchen cabinets…How do I find out how much they are and who to talk to? Thanks dawn
Dawn – go over to the Forum. You need to register to participate. Folks communicate back and forth in that space. http://retrorenovation.com/forum … Also, this post is from 2008, so I’m guessing these are long gone. But: new (old) ones come up daily, so jump in the game!
I want to repaint my 1940s Youngstown Ohio white metal cabinets. Please help tell me how to do it. Thanks.
Hi Jane, this is not a DIY site. But, we do have several stories about readers sharing their experiences repainting metal cabinets. Please: Be sure to get informed regarding potential lead hazards in old paint as well as other safety and environmental issues — consult with a professional. Meanwhile, see all our stories about steel kitchen cabinets in the Kitchens/Steel Kitchen category. Good luck.
