Yours are gorgeous! My house has the original steel cabinets mounted out in the big shed from when the original owners remodeled in the 80s. Mine are bright aqua with fake wood grain (metal) doors. A bit grungy....one of my long range to-do items is to clean them up. The bottom cabinets I have also have the fake woodgrain doors but the rest of the body is painted a muddy brown which is not as attractive. The original gold speckled counters are still in place (just in terrible shape after being used as a work bench for 20+ years. Woooo! Yours are gorgeous!

I've actually seen a few ads here and there on C-list (when is that going to become a verb, like "Google"?) for steel cabs with wood doors. I just thought that the previous owners had at some point tried to "fix" their kitchen by "updating" to wooden doors. Hmmm, they might have just come that way! Neat, you learn all sorts of new things on this internet thing. Huh, those are really cool!

That aqua is my favorite color, too. I am envious! And I love the contrast of the wood with the metallic trim/knobs. What Pam says is true and totally goes along with the way my house was done. My 1952 bungalow's kitchen was remodeled in 1960 with a custom kitchen. They tore down the wall between the kitchen and dining room and installed very nice walnut (or some dark wood) colonial cabinets. The upper cabinets are accessible from both the kitchen side and the dining room side. During closing on our house, the sellers (the two sons who grew up there) told us all the neighbors would comment what a great idea that was and wished they could tear out the walls in their kitchens and how "open" it felt. My house was the only one on the block like that! It's actually what sold me on the house. Those cabinets are fantastic! That aqua is my favorite color, too. I am envious!

I can see them being complimented by aluminum up/down cone light fixtures or a chandelier. Looking forward to seeing the progress on that kitchen. Those upper cabinets are lush.
