Midcentury kitchens started out “any color you want as long as it’s white” in the immediate postwar period, until about 1953. Why? Materials were still tight after the war – and the war in Korea stretched capacities, as well. In fact, did you know that there were actually rules that made it difficult to add a second bathroom? Something called Regulation X. I keep seeing reference to it — must do more research.
