When we sold her house in 2000 it was still going strong. I was young, so I'll excuse my stupidity in not sticking something cheap in there and saving it. The pink kitchens have been amazing.

What I think I like best about these kitchens is that the pink gives the rooms such an upbeat, optimistic atmosphere -- it's that same optimism shown by Mamie. I've appreciated this series from a decorating standpoint and also as a history lesson. Surely you will come across more pink kitchen illustrations -- please share them with us in the future! Thanks again. Thanks so much for the series — what a treat.

I assure you, this was a labor of love. If you can wait re setting up your folder, I think that I am going to upload these to my flickr account at some point. And also put in a gallery on the site. Have to figure this out, though. Bottom line, it may save you some time if you can wait for me to organize these new files. And...this definitely has made me think about doing other series'. Stay tuned! Thank you, Maggie, for your kind words. I assure you, this was a labor of love.

Man, with a wall cabinet fridge and a Frigidaire Flair or Tappan 400 range, I'd never have to bend over again! I hope you'll consider other theme weeks for the future. Maybe stoves, fridges? Aqua Kitchens? Dishes/cookware? This series has been the joy of my whole week, Pam. You're truly a Pink Princess for putting this together.
