			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its pink kitchens #11-20 today, as we continue to look at how the iconic color of the 50&#8242;s &#8212; &#8220;Mamie Pink&#8221; &#8212; was translated into everyday, middle-class, mid-century homes.</p>
<p>11. This <em>1959 GE</em> pink+white+copper/brown kitchen is really quite snazzy, I like it a lot!:</p>
<p><a title="1959-pink-ge-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1959-pink-ge-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1959-pink-ge-cropped.jpg" alt="1959-pink-ge-cropped.jpg" width="459" height="454" /></a></p>
<p>12. This one is another take on the <em>&#8217;49 American-Standard</em> kitchen we saw yesterday, but ready for Thanksgiving. Sweet:</p>
<p><a title="1946-american-standard-thanksgiving-kitchen432.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1946-american-standard-thanksgiving-kitchen432.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1946-american-standard-thanksgiving-kitchen432.jpg" alt="1946-american-standard-thanksgiving-kitchen432.jpg" width="459" height="374" /></a></p>
<p>13. A classic <em>St. Charles</em> kitchen with some terrific design elements &#8212; another one of my all-time favorites. I used this photo for a <a href="http://retrorenovation.com/2007/10/16/tuesday-kitchen-%e2%80%9cflashback-design-tips%e2%80%9d/">&#8220;Flashback Design&#8221; feature</a> last year, oops, I can&#8217;t find the un-numbered image:</p>
<p><a title="23.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/23.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/23.jpg" alt="23.jpg" width="457" height="357" /></a></p>
<p>14. <em>Republic Kitchens</em> marketed their &#8220;Prelude Pink&#8221; pretty heavily, circa 1956. A gray palette certainly gives pink a dash of  elegance, don&#8217;t you think?:</p>
<p><a title="1956-republic-prelude-pink-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-republic-prelude-pink-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-republic-prelude-pink-cropped.jpg" alt="1956-republic-prelude-pink-cropped.jpg" width="460" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>15. A <em>1957 GE</em> pink kitchen. Awesome refrigerator, and note the wallpapered backsplash. If you&#8217;re going to have a pink kitchen, people, you might as well go for it the gusto!:</p>
<p><a title="1957-pink-ge-kitchen-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-ge-kitchen-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-ge-kitchen-cropped.jpg" alt="1957-pink-ge-kitchen-cropped.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>16. A 1957 ad for a <em>Tappan</em> stove is set with pink Republic steel cabinets. Great looking backsplash here, too:</p>
<p><a title="1957-pink-republic-kitchen-tappan-stove-and-cool-backsplash4cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-republic-kitchen-tappan-stove-and-cool-backsplash4cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-republic-kitchen-tappan-stove-and-cool-backsplash4cropped.jpg" alt="1957-pink-republic-kitchen-tappan-stove-and-cool-backsplash4cropped.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>17. Another <em>1959 GE</em> pink kitchen &#8212; in fact, I just noticed that this is another angle on kitchen #11, although these images were in separate places.  Great fridge+fridge combo. Note how nice this soft pink looks with the orange and yellow curtains. And see the wood-grained countertops. My goodness, pink is SO versatile!</p>
<p><a title="1959-ge-2-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1959-ge-2-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1959-ge-2-cropped.jpg" alt="1959-ge-2-cropped.jpg" width="460" height="436" /></a></p>
<p>18. A teensy illustration from <em>Curtis Kitchens</em>. A wood cabinet company. Painted pink was de rigeur, too:</p>
<p><a title="50s-curtis-partified-pink.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/50s-curtis-partified-pink.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/50s-curtis-partified-pink.jpg" alt="50s-curtis-partified-pink.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>19. Not sure who made these. Pink with erin green&#8230;.Hmmmm, this I&#8217;m not liking so much, and you know I rarely say that&#8230;:</p>
<p><a title="50s-pink-and-green-kitchen378.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/50s-pink-and-green-kitchen378.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/50s-pink-and-green-kitchen378.jpg" alt="50s-pink-and-green-kitchen378.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>20. I believe that this is 1957, not sure of the maker. They certainly went for pink on pink on pink &#8212; Mamie would have approved. The wallpapered ceiling is growing on me &#8212; it certainly makes a big statement. And why the heck not!:</p>
<p><a title="50s-pink-kitchen.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/50s-pink-kitchen.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/50s-pink-kitchen.jpg" alt="50s-pink-kitchen.jpg" width="450" height="324" align="bottom" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This week it&#8217;s pink postwar kitchens of every style &#8211; from the 40s through to the 60s. Be sure to check in every day, today through Saturday for a festival of <a href="http://retrorenovation.com/2008/03/30/mamie-eisenhower-unwitting-creator-of-the-iconic-color-of-the-50s-mamie-pink/">Mamie pink</a>!</strong></p>
<p>To start &#8211; let&#8217;s head right to 1957, the absolute pinnacle year for pink pink pink!</p>
<p>#1: <em>1957 GE</em> pink kitchen and look at that all-new Refrigeration Center!:</p>
<p><a title="1957-ge-kitchen-refrigeration-center-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-ge-kitchen-refrigeration-center-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-ge-kitchen-refrigeration-center-cropped.jpg" alt="1957-ge-kitchen-refrigeration-center-cropped.jpg" width="460" height="466" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-1822"></span>#2, a <em>1955 Crane</em> kitchen in Blossom Pink:</p>
<p><a title="1955-crane-blossom-pink406-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1955-crane-blossom-pink406-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1955-crane-blossom-pink406-cropped.jpg" alt="1955-crane-blossom-pink406-cropped.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>#3, a <em>1953 pink Formica</em> kitchen (which <a href="http://retrorenovation.com/2008/01/15/1953-formica-pink-kitchen-todays-kitchen-flashback-design/">we have analyzed before</a>):</p>
<p><a title="1953-pink-formica-kitchen214.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1953-pink-formica-kitchen214.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1953-pink-formica-kitchen214.jpg" alt="1953-pink-formica-kitchen214.jpg" width="463" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>#4, <em>1956 Westinghouse</em> appliances including the cool wall refrigeration unit &#8212; with a pink kitchen:</p>
<p><a title="1956-westinghouse-2.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-westinghouse-2.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-westinghouse-2.jpg" alt="1956-westinghouse-2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>#5, a <em>1949 American-Standard</em> kitchen &#8212; cabinets that foreshadow the frenzy to come:</p>
<p><a title="1949-american-standard-pink-kitchen-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1949-american-standard-pink-kitchen-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1949-american-standard-pink-kitchen-cropped.jpg" alt="1949-american-standard-pink-kitchen-cropped.jpg" width="500" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>#6, very pixelated, but I wanted to show this early pink<em> St. Charles</em> kitchen as well:</p>
<p><a title="st-charles-89.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/st-charles-89.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/st-charles-89.jpg" alt="st-charles-89.jpg" width="501" height="448" /></a></p>
<p>#7, a few years later now in the heart of the Mamie years, a <em>1955 St. Charles</em> pink kitchen:</p>
<p><a title="1955-st-charles-one428.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1955-st-charles-one428.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1955-st-charles-one428.jpg" alt="1955-st-charles-one428.jpg" width="502" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>#8, yes, I&#8217;ve been dreaming of a<em> 1956 Westinghouse</em> pink kitchen:</p>
<p><a title="1956-westinghouse-1.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-westinghouse-1.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-westinghouse-1.jpg" alt="1956-westinghouse-1.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>#9, an early- to <em>mid-50s Geneva</em> Blossom Pink kitchen with the classic accent color, red:</p>
<p><a title="early-50s-geneva-blossom-pink313.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/early-50s-geneva-blossom-pink313.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/early-50s-geneva-blossom-pink313.jpg" alt="early-50s-geneva-blossom-pink313.jpg" width="499" height="370" /></a></p>
<p>And number 10 for today: This gorgeous<em> 1958 GE</em> pink kitchen, which incorporates wood and 60s groove:</p>
<p><a title="1958-pink-ge-kitchen409-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1958-pink-ge-kitchen409-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1958-pink-ge-kitchen409-cropped.jpg" alt="1958-pink-ge-kitchen409-cropped.jpg" width="501" height="215" /></a></p>
