Zeinab found this really cool off-the-floor dishwasher about Sleeping Bee Alice’s retro dream. From looking at the Fagor website, I think the d/w also can be installed as part of this neat $1,199 cooking center.
And there’s a cool cooktop center, too. Not sure whether it really fits my retro rubric, but I like the concept.

Forum reader U.K. Alison asked if someone could help her ship vintage steel cabinets overseas, so I made sure she knew about English Rose cabinets first. I keep losing this information — and keep having to ask Scathing Jane for it — so I thought I better post it for infinity and beyond. Thanks, Scathing [...]

I saw a sink like this once in a magazine - but this is the first time I’ve seen one live. Yes, that is a LIGHT connected to and running horizontally along the sink! The seller says that it works perfectly. How cool. I presume the covering over the light itself is impervious to [...]

OMG gorgeous - look at all these pink Beauty Queen metal kitchen cabinets! In Missouri, now on the Postwar Steel Forum - top nav bar. Also see the great Hoffman’s - new brand! - from Toronto.

In working with one reader to solve some kitchen issues, I came across this company — Summit, out of New York metro - that makes several appliances that have a real retro feel, at prices that are not so horrific as most “specialty” items like this.
For example, their 36″ range has that second storage drawer [...]

In response to Friday’s post on the patriotic 40s kitchen, Josh writes:
I’m in love with that sink. Do they still make any like that?
Thanks for the question, Josh. Unfortunately, not that I know of. But, I have some recommendations:
These porcelain-enamel-on-cast-iron or steel drainboard sinks were UBIQUITOUS in the postwar period, so you [...]

This kitchen is so so wonderful. It’s from 1946. Check out how it’s red, white and blue - but not in a screaming way. In fact, I adore this shade of blue, and the cabinets ‘read’ a creamy white that’s so inviting. Also notice, the steel cabinets paired with the wood-paneled built-in and back wall. [...]

I am SO obsessed with steel kitchen cabinets. Where in the world did I get that, it is so weird. I also am fascinated with anything vintage from Sears & Roebuck and these cabinets in Minnesota are very snappy indeed.

Pam..thanks for your great photos. I’m moving back to my childhood home and restoring the 1959 kitchen. I’m looking for the silver color trim ring that seals in the TURQUOISE porcelain sink! That matches the turquoise wall oven and stove-top and the white, black and turquoise design in the floor! Thank [...]
