Alas, it's not being made at the moment, but I can keep my fingers crossed. In the process of redoing the kitchen in our 1961 Ranch, we made a trek to the Re-Store and I found exactly 20 copper hammered hinges! Later that day found the door pulls for a song. Got home from work last night and they're installed! What a difference it makes! Love Betty's kitchen, but think I'd pass on the plaid. But the entire kitchen really has a presence and warmth to it. Love going back in time! Good morning from Maine -

I don't have plaid wallpaper but I did just put up some red plaid curtains in my knotty pine kitchen to go with the red linen laminate countertops! Next up: VCT floors and new trim for the counter top edge. Great!
