50s kitchen — another ‘appliance center’ design

Remember the Sunbeam appliance center (pictured at the bottom) that I bought myself for my birthday?
Well, I recently saw this ad for another one, from Westinghouse. Isn’t it just spectacular?
Why these never caught on, I don’t quite understand. Probably the expense…But oh, as a design statement - well worth the investment!
DESIGN TIP: Notice the nice little set of shelves built between two wall cabinets. A nice touch for collectibles, cookbooks or even appliances. Keep it tidy, though! Also a brilliant idea if you’re installing salvaged cabinets, and don’t have quite the right fit; see if you can make the shelves with extra cabinet frames cut down to fit…The idea in a postwar kitchen is to go for the “fitted look.”
