I see lots of folks who otherwise love mid century taking out the knotty pine and agree it's time for a comeback. I had a 600 sq ft 1959 cabin ( no, really, it was that small!) that was completely knotty pine....walls, ceiling, floors, etc. It was already in the woods, so to relieve some of the "eyes follow you" effect I whitewashed the bedroom walls. Never again! It's just fine the way it is. The best thing about a knotty pine kitchen is the near indestructability of the finish. Scorch marks, mold or greasy mess? Just sand it a bit and apply two coats of Bullseye Amber varnish. Within two weeks, the patina will blend with the rest and no one will ever be the wiser. Just the easiest to take care of ever. My sister refers to the traditional hammered metal hardware style as""Mister Ed". She's about right. The pix with the yellow oven will look much like ours when we get the clock fixed and back in. Wedgewood-Holly 1959-complete with Rotisserie in the lower oven. I am on my second Knotty Pine mid century kitchen.
