It looks dynamite. I would also suggest waiting for a smaller print to put against the tile. I liked the suggestion of a geometric medallion as it looks good in our original 1961 ranch kitchen, above its tile. Catherine, glad you’re happy with our Atomic Doodle! It looks dynamite.

I miss my grandparent's MCM quad-level that they had in Saginaw, MI. The loo that was mine when I stayed with them was pink everywhere and that wallpaper would have been amazing in there. Ahh, memories. :) The atomic doodle paper is fantastic in your loo, Catherine!

It's beautiful and looks to be in perfect shape. I think we have the same model---a Chambers C (circa 1950)---only mine is yellow. Unfortunately it's still in the garage awaiting some restoration! I wish I could have found one in better shape. I have to go along with everyone about the atomic doodle---it looks great. But I don't think the kitchen wallpaper works too well with your tile. Have you searched through Hannah's Treasures vintage wallpaper; she has a bunch up on eBay now. I'm not so sure the colors would work with your tile, but I something like this or one of the geometric medallion prints would be cool: http://cgi.ebay.com/1950s-vintage-wallpaper-kitchen-design_W0QQitemZ220287731939QQihZ012QQcategoryZ50364QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262#ebayphotohosting So Catherine, that’s the Chambers gas range you bought?

These are actually two pieces of black plastic behind the chrome pull and were not present in that auction! aren't i something else? let me know if you found a fridge... and... if another corner ever shows up in northeast ohio, it's mine! :) hey catherine! yes, i agree about the atomic doodle! absolutely perfect! but be careful when you buy “new” youngstown pulls — if you look on yours, you will see a little black “outline” where each side meets the cupboard.

And, how cool is it that Pam contacted a rep from the company to get his take on it?! I can't believe that those kitchen cabinets weren't originally in your house. Are you going with the deco or boomerang pulls? Hi Catherine – I think the atomic doodle looks like it was made for your bathroom!
