I recently found this image of 10 original paint colors for St. Charles steel kitchen cabinets. I believe that these are circa 1957.

A HUGE set of St. Charles’ in Bloomfield, Mich. — and no one’s snapped them up yet. Folks, it does not get any better than this! Please please please, I hope a Retro Renovation reader gets them. They are on the Forum, do not delay!

Hi Pam,  Thanks for the email.   We just closed on the house on Friday.  I am not sure if they are sold.  I am in contact with several parties but they haven’t been purchaeds yet.  My new house is in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.  The kitchen cabinets are in absolutely pristine shape, with spice racks, pull out drawers, under cabinet lighting, pantry, desk area etc.  All the cabinetry is the same St. Charles cabinets.  I am also looking to sell the corian ( I believe) countertops with the cabinets/    In the kitchen there are 24 double door cabinets, a couple 25″. a couple 33″, mostly 42″.  at least 6 single cabinets and  3 banks of multiple drawers along with at least 6 single drawers. two of which are lined in felt for silver and those 2 drawers lock!  I will include a picture for your reference.  I am looking to sell these immediately since I don;t want them to get damages once they are removed.  Thanks for all your help!  Nancy

42. This 1955 Geneva kitchen is more sedate but setting the pace nonetheless.

43. Pink and yellow, what a spring-y combination. And, this seems like quite the 1957 groove pad! Note the wall-cabinet fridge, every ReRe reader’s favorite, it seems!:

44. Oops. Another formerly used Flashback Kitchen with the numbers stuck in it. But I had to show this pink-lavendar-blue combo. Lavendar for kitchens was promoted later in the 50s. It looks nice here, be clearly never caught on. I think there’s something fundamentally icky about purple+food, grapes and eggplant notwithstanding.

45. A 1952 Youngstown kitchen – you can see the rosy pink cabinet at the right, so this made the list.

46. Religious readers will recognize this amazing kitchen. You gotta give those Formica interior designers credit:

47. A 1955 St. Charles kitchen combining pink, aquamarine and birch (I believe.) Pretty snazzy:

48. An honorary pink kitchen: pink + classic birch plywood cabinets with a darkish stain:

49. Another (painted) pink and birch kitchen, from Coppes-Nappanee:

50. And another all-time favorite, a Dow Styron tile ad with a kitchen that I christen pink because of the wall cabinet refrigerator. Awesome kitchen!
