After the gray and tragic times of the war, everything turned into an explosion of color and hope. New materials, new technologies and new designs found their way into the everyday life of the average american. And these 1949 kitchens are great examples of that.
Pink cabinets glamorize this efficient kitchen. Pink baked-enamel-on-steel cabinets so transform this kitchen you have to look twice to see how practical it is. These units also came in gray, green and yellow. Pink geraniums stretch to the sunt at slanting studio window. Wallpaper border is three tints of pink. Work surface near the refrigerator is made of maple.
Restful blue walls bring out the fresh whiteness of the equipment. Red glazed chintz is repeated from bench to chair to window. Warm brown linoleum "plank" floor and white ceiling rafters tie the colonial-style chair and table and businesslike modern appliances together. When dinner's cleared, you have a fireside game table.

This is a bold design for sure. Baked-enamel-on-steel units and walls are persimmon-red, balanced by brown and green bamboo-patterned wallpaper. Green is repeated in chair seats, table tops, curtains.
Sparkling white is the background for these fresh sprightly colors. The small kitchen is expanded by accenting all posible horizontal lines - dark-green linoleum floor, long greenery box, red coutner tops, red molding, yards of apple-patterned chintz at window.
