Steel, What Nots + Formica

.

This evening I was looking through a 1954 Home Builder Catalog and realized how much I wish we still loved the kitchens that we loved back then. I never liked granite counter tops and sometimes I think I might lose my mind if I hear the phrase "granite counter tops" one more time.

I also wonder what happened to color. It seems like the kitchens from this era were bright and cheery and so so colorful. Nowadays it's that same drab brown, sand, different shade of brown, beige, dark wood etc. color palette I always seem to see. It's not so cheery.

Here are some kitchens that I love...dream kitchens with steel cabinets, colorful Formica counter tops with steel edging, and at least 4 round edged what-not shelves, above and below:

I finished up some little things at the new blog project, so it isn't so bare bones anymore. Please visit and contribute if you can..or pass the word along. :)
