I am most sure that if I had the option for a pink appliance vs these new stainless steel that are all the rave, I'd opt for pink. Now it almost cost an arm and a leg to get those appliances. I live in an apartment unfortunately and have rules about hat I can and can not do to my home. I have dark maple cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances. What I wouldn't give to spray food safe pink on paint all my appliances, and paint my cuboards. Does anyone out there know what I CAN DO to Retro Renovate my sleek up-to-date apartment? I wouldn't live here if it weren't brand new and rent cheap with resort style like licing and it having proper ac and it being so close I can walk to chool and work and am in the heart of the antique markets. My first apt I rented, favoring the never updated 60's style OR the modern niceties such as central ac made me opt for newer places and swap "sleek" new style appliances for my beloved 50's-60's style. PLEASE HELP ME with advice on what I can do to make that old charm come alive in my "sleek" rental. I CAN PAINT, but as far as demolishing or painting the buildig wooden cabnitries, I dint think they'd be too happy. Why is everything in today’s Mod Up-to-Date style so bleek and blan now!?

I can tell they have never been used just need to be cleaned up with sos pad no rust or pitting. I am at a loss as to what to sell them for "fair price" could you help me?
