I am currently taking foods class at my school, and the classroom still holds its original yellow Geneva cabinets and GE White Spungold counter tops. Sad, though, they've seen better days. They are filthy as all heck. I guess the other foods students don't understand what the teacher means by "Be sure to clean your kitchen!" They are coated in over 50 years of grease, dust, and God knows what else. That is why, when we do labs, I let the group do the cooking while I scrub the kitchen down. My teacher loves me for that, but I do it for the sake of giving those cabinets their life back. Maybe someday I can offer to restore them. (Yes, I want to spend my life rehabbing old houses.);) I absolutely love this!

I am needing to replace my existing and do not know if my old stuff was considered top of the line for comparison for insurance to pay for it.
