   The New York times article is a great find (and boost!) Pam! Also, wow, what a great selection of ideas you have provided…I had not anticipated such thorough thought. I’ll keep you posted on how I proceed.

   I like the red floor and vintage chair with the yellow steel cabinets and stainless appliances. It’s quite a nice mix that works well to update the look without losing it’s vintage feel entirely.

   Yes, Kimberly — I agree that yellow cabinets with a red floor makes for a great color combination. If Alice is switching out the wallpaper, that’s another great recommendation.

   Hi:

   I just found your site yesterday and I am already addicted. I have always loved the metal cabinets from the 30’s to 50’s but finding them was not easy. When I renovated my prewar 1930’s New York apartment I wanted desperately to do a retro kitchen to go with my art deco furnishings. I didn’t have the time nor the energy to really research the kitchen cabinets and finally ended up spending a fortune on a gorgeous St. Charles kitchen. I am currently looking for another apartment in Manhattan and want to definitely find the cabinets I have always wanted.

   You posted on this page an article in the NYT I believe April 11, 2008 on Geneva steel cabinets. I went onto the NYT website but couldn’t find the article. I am hoping you may have a copy and can perhaps post it on your site or send me a copy.

   Now that I have the time to do my research on the cabinets and retro appliances I will be on your site quite often.

   Thank you for any help you can give me.

   Alida

   Hi Alida, the hotlink to the story is in the post. Click right where it says ‘today’s NYT’- it’s kind of in green and dash underlined. Welcome to the RetroRenovation clan!
