I have original 1950 knotty pine kitchen cabinets/drawers with wrought iron hardware. They were handmade with great skill by members of my family. This past weekend, I asked for advice at the Home Depot kitchen design center about choosing a new laminate countertop color to go with the honey gold wood--and got totally snubbed. Wow. The designer barely looked up from his desk and said that "most people" paint over the knotty pine. He gave me no suggestions and didn't ask questions to see if I was thinking about renovating. Wow--treated shabbily just for wanting to keep my vintage look. ~:( I just had to share this… I have original 1950 knotty pine kitchen cabinets/drawers with wrought iron hardware.

Yellow and bluey-grey, a classic through the decades! I have been trying to find a late 1940's kitchen color combo that I really liked, and I think this is it. Thanks! I love that color combination.
