Professor Pam here. So don’t you all feel like BETTER PEOPLE for having read about Philip Johnson’s kitchen? I do! In fact, I am going to re-read Monday’s story right now!
Meanwhile, here’s a pop fun, 1957 (the mega year!) kitchen for you. One of my favorites – which shows that yes, you can pickle/wash your 50s cabinets. Love the organic kidney- shaped table, it’s a very nice ‘end’ to the kitchen and useful in that it sticks out (I am not a fan of dinky tables that squish you into the wall). Notice also the climbing plants, chartreuse plates, lacquer black, and of course, the spotlight pulls (that’s their official name!) dead center on the cabinets.
Where in the heck do those chickens come from? I mean, design-wise? Some Aztec revival?
