61 Mamie Pink Kitchens: It’s day two immersed in this classic 50s color

Its pink kitchens #11-20 today, as we continue to look at how the iconic color of the 50’s — “Mamie Pink” — was translated into everyday, middle-class, mid-century homes.

11. This 1959 GE pink+white+copper/brown kitchen is really quite snazzy, I like it a lot!:

12. This one is another take on the ‘49 American-Standard kitchen we saw yesterday, but ready for Thanksgiving. Sweet:

13. A classic St. Charles kitchen with some terrific design elements — another one of my all-time favorites. I used this photo for a “Flashback Design” feature last year, oops, I can’t find the un-numbered image:

14. Republic Kitchens marketed their “Prelude Pink” pretty heavily, circa 1956. A gray palette certainly gives pink a dash of elegance, don’t you think?:

15. A 1957 GE pink kitchen. Awesome refrigerator, and note the wallpapered backsplash. If you’re going to have a pink kitchen, people, you might as well go for it the gusto!:

16. A 1957 ad for a Tappan stove is set with pink Republic steel cabinets. Great looking backsplash here, too:

17. Another 1959 GE pink kitchen — 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!

18. A teensy illustration from Curtis Kitchens. A wood cabinet company. Painted pink was de rigeur, too:

19. Not sure who made these. Pink with erin green….Hmmmm, this I’m not liking so much, and you know I rarely say that…:

20. I believe that this is 1957, not sure of the maker. They certainly went for pink on pink on pink — Mamie would have approved. The wallpapered ceiling is growing on me — it certainly makes a big statement. And why the heck not!:

61 Mamie Pink Kitchens: Let’s start with 10 from the big name brands – St. Charles, GE, American-Standard, Crane, Formica and more

This week it’s pink postwar kitchens of every style – from the 40s through to the 60s. Be sure to check in every day, today through Saturday for a festival of Mamie pink!

To start – let’s head right to 1957, the absolute pinnacle year for pink pink pink!

#1: 1957 GE pink kitchen and look at that all-new Refrigeration Center!:

#2, a 1955 Crane kitchen in Blossom Pink:

#3, a 1953 pink Formica kitchen (which we have analyzed before):

#4, 1956 Westinghouse appliances including the cool wall refrigeration unit — with a pink kitchen:

#5, a 1949 American-Standard kitchen — cabinets that foreshadow the frenzy to come:

#6, very pixelated, but I wanted to show this early pink St. Charles kitchen as well:

#7, a few years later now in the heart of the Mamie years, a 1955 St. Charles pink kitchen:

#8, yes, I’ve been dreaming of a 1956 Westinghouse pink kitchen:

#9, an early- to mid-50s Geneva Blossom Pink kitchen with the classic accent color, red:

And number 10 for today: This gorgeous 1958 GE pink kitchen, which incorporates wood and 60s groove:
