All are in pink as are the cabinets. i need to know where I can purchase this pink paint, or would it be better to take the doors to a car paint place. i'd rather do it myself. any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! We are purchasing a 1958 house with all original appliances, cooktop, oven and dishwasher (toploading) and metal kitchen cabinets which open when pushed in the low right corner.

Such styles were common in the 40s and 50s and you can find them at most antique malls. You could use it on a table as originally intended or perhaps cut a larger one to create valances or cafe curtains for your windows. You might even find a pair that are similar enough to mix and match the patterns, and use in more than one area. Good luck with your project. Deb,

I think i might just go withthe white cabinets, though i agree i did consider also painting those, but i also want to add some with glass fronts so i 'd like to keep those sort of "basic" and add the colors on the wall, your suggestions re; countertops, were exactly what i was also thinking,i would like a 'light black or maybe gray withblack specs in it topick up the black in the room. THe blue in the fabric, is the blue on the walls, as well currenlty there are 'yellow'counter tops, which matched with the wallpaer, but we stripped that off, and they need to be replaced. do you have any ideas about the 'vintage fabric swatch' where i might find that,? i have been on several vintage fabric sites, but this is exactly what would fit into the scheme. You know, i was skeptical about seeking your advice, thankyou soooo much, you have validated my initial instincts and it's so nice that you are avaible for this. i'll keep you posted how i come out. thank you so much, the fabric swatch you provided is exactly what i have looking for, and i thought of using a ‘confederate’ kind of bluish/gray for the walls, but again wanted to brighten it up so using red/yellow accents, even if i could find this fabric swatch would be ideal.
