<p>I love the photo above so much, I had to feature it again. It&#8217;s Mamie Eisenhower&#8217;s outrageous pink hat, perched on her pink hatstand. Now, back to our 61 pink kitchens, #21-30 today:</p>
<p>21. Love this pink kitchen designed for a 1957 Modernfold door ad!:</p>
<p><a title="1957-pink-kitchen-modernfold-door-1.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-kitchen-modernfold-door-1.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-kitchen-modernfold-door-1.jpg" alt="1957-pink-kitchen-modernfold-door-1.jpg" width="458" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>22. Is that plastic fruit to the left of this photo, of a quite &#8216;real&#8217; 50s pink and birch kitchen, from <em>Kitchen Business, 1956</em>?:</p>
<p><a title="1956-kitchen-business.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-kitchen-business.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1956-kitchen-business.jpg" alt="1956-kitchen-business.jpg" width="457" height="408" /></a></p>
<p>23. This comes for 1944, and the reddish hues of the drawing hint at all the pink to come. Be sure to enlarge and read the text. With the end of WWII, renovation of the kitchen was #1 on everyone&#8217;s list!:</p>
<p><a title="1944-think-pink-kitchen390.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1944-think-pink-kitchen390.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1944-think-pink-kitchen390.jpg" alt="1944-think-pink-kitchen390.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>24. This 1957 is a real classic. I love the pink combo with soft green, and I think that I got the idea for the soffit wallpaper treatment in my kitchen from this image. Notice also, the wall cabinet refrigerator to the right:</p>
<p><a title="1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-2385.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-2385.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-2385.jpg" alt="1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-2385.jpg" width="459" height="367" /></a></p>
<p>25. A second shot of the spacious kitchen above &#8212; great retractable light, and another (!) refrigerator unit on that side:</p>
<p><a title="1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-1384.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-1384.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-1384.jpg" alt="1957-pink-metal-kitchen-with-fridge-1384.jpg" width="441" height="464" /></a></p>
<p>26. A 1958 ad for a washer and dryer &#8211; aren&#8217;t they great? Marketers and designers really tried to get women to accept the w/d into the kitchen. Clearly, it didn&#8217;t catch on&#8211; we needed our laundry rooms:</p>
<p><a title="1958-pink-kitchen-x340-cropped.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1958-pink-kitchen-x340-cropped.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1958-pink-kitchen-x340-cropped.jpg" alt="1958-pink-kitchen-x340-cropped.jpg" width="458" height="348" /></a></p>
<p>27. A 1964 illustration from a Sears Harmony House collection. Move over, Mamie, the 60s  have arrived!</p>
<p><a title="1964-harmony-house-sears311.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1964-harmony-house-sears311.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1964-harmony-house-sears311.jpg" alt="1964-harmony-house-sears311.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>8. Another &#8217;64 image from<em> Sears Harmony House</em>. I adore this kitchen with its painted pink wood cabinets, &#8216;spotlight&#8217; cabinet pulls, and orange floors and orange plaid wallpaper. And look &#8211; Corning Ware!:</p>
<p><a title="1964-harmony-house-paint-fir-sears312.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1964-harmony-house-paint-fir-sears312.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/1964-harmony-house-paint-fir-sears312.jpg" alt="1964-harmony-house-paint-fir-sears312.jpg" width="460" height="326" align="absmiddle" /></a></p>
<p>29. A 1957 &#8220;Rose Red&#8221; steel kitchen, great grey countertops:</p>
<p><a title="rose-red-steel-kitchen.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/rose-red-steel-kitchen.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/rose-red-steel-kitchen.jpg" alt="rose-red-steel-kitchen.jpg" width="460" height="636" /></a></p>
<p>30. And we conclude today&#8217;s pink fest with these pink steel cabinets available for sale today, from John Lewis of Hungerford, in England.</p>
<p><a title="creme2.jpg" href="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/creme2.jpg"><img src="http://retrorenovatio.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/creme2.jpg" alt="creme2.jpg" /></a></p>
