I am about to start planning the renovation, including an extension to enlarge the kitchen and install a new kitchen (I know, shock horror!), the original kitchen is almost identical to the one in the Caloric ad on the front page, including the yellow appliances, the look like they have almost never been used. Does anyone know who may be interested in buying the whole kitchen and what kind of price I can expect to achieve? Regards, Steve.

I live in a building from the early 1960s that still has lots of original owners, who recall ordering up their color scheme for the kitchen (they installed appliances to match the color of whatever geneva steel cabinets the buyer selected and had both matching and contrasting formica counter colors). Anyhow, I had to replace my counters, though the cabinets are going strong, a couple years ago, and put in white Corian, without much reflection more complicated than I like it that you can bleach them clean and thought the integral sink was kinda cool. As the workmen we hauling the pieces of it up to my unit, I ran into one of my older neighbors who admiringly exclaimed how she did like a modern touch for kitchens as modern as ours ; ) and how she'd been a bit cross that Corian had hit the market just a year or two after she'd bought her unit because it was more modern and chic than marble, which is I guess the material Dupont was marketing it as an ersatz for, and exactly the look she thought the kitchens were going for!
