We’re on a bit of binge, taking a look at vintage kitchen cabinets spotted in all different colors. Yes: We love these harvest gold St. Charles steel kitchen cabinets for sale on Southeast Missouri craigslist. These are the famous St. Charles two-tone style: All single color metal on the base cabinets, with the wall cabinets featuring doors with applied molding in the color of the base cabinets. (See them here in mod green and another variation, steel trim on wood doors here.)
These 1970’s beauties — spotted by Facebook follower Helen — thank you, Helen! — are in excellent condition. The large set includes 20 cabinets and comes complete with a matching double wall oven, range hood and cooktop — no need to hunt down extra vintage appliances separately folks — this is a package deal.

What a gorgeous set — and a great find for some lucky retro renovator. Mega thanks to Craigslist seller Ron for allowing us to feature the fabulous photos of his vintage golden St. Charles kitchen cabinets.
Chris, this is not a DIY/fixit site per se. We have done some stories where readers mentioned the type of painting method they used. You should be able to find these in either Kitchen Help/Readers & Their Kitchens subcategory or Kitchen Help/Steel Kitchens subcategory. Please be aware: There can be hazards such as lead and asbestos in our old homes, their products and materials, and layer — get with your own properly licensed professionals to assess what you are dealing with so that you can make informed decisions how to handle.
