I love shopping at Complete Home Hardware. If you call the store Chris can help you out. Otherwise shop their website for great prices on all types of cabinet hardware.

I just love your cabinet pulls. I read that they are original with the house. I'm looking for something similar. Wonderful job on remodeling your kitchen while keeping the unique retro charm. It's fantastic!

If you're hoping for vintage stuff, try looking at a Habitat for Humanity Re-store warehouse. :)

BM Bath Salts looks to be the same color as SW Sea Salt :)

Hello! The sink and metal cabinet underneath it are one unit, originally from Montgomery Ward and yes, from the 1940's! The other cabinets are wood and also original to the house and I just painted them. How fun that you are considering a 1940's house.

Where did you find the sink? Is the apron front a separate piece? - I found a similar sink without the apron. I like this look and am wondering if you had this part made or was it part of the original cabinet?

Hi Toni, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. This sink was the original sink in the house and came with the apron front.

That's an excellent sink, I think it would cost at least $2000 if you tried to get something similar today.

Beautiful space. - The counters are made of stainless steel sheets? Is there a standard "width"? How do they stand up to years of use?

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Vanessa Brunner added this to Kitchen of the Week: A Cottage-Chic Kitchen on a Budget
The cabinetry was in good shape, so Phipps cleaned them up, repainted the outside and relined the inside with contact paper. A new subway tile backsplash transitions between the cabinetry and new stainless steel countertops. Smart Craigslist finds give the kitchen extra vintage flair. Phipps found the 1940s electric range for just $300. The kitchen's back door (just visible to the far left) had been kicked in, so Phipps replaced it with this vintage door with original hardware, which she found on Craigslist for $75. Island: Stenstorp, Ikea; blue cart: Raskog, Ikea; subway tile: Daltile, Home Depot; wall colors: Marscapone, Benjamin Moore
Laura Gaskill added this to 9 Downright Modern Ways With Pastels
8. Liven up the kitchen with pastel cupboards. Why stick with plain old white when pale mint or pink is so much more fun? True pastels in the kitchen will give a retro vibe; if you are looking for something more sophisticated (but still fun) try a dirty pastel (see No. 5).
Kate McKee added this to 15 Ravishingly Retro Kitchen Schemes
Speaking of paint, pastel shades in the kitchen automatically make you think of times gone by, particularly when it comes to cabinetry and appliances. Mint green, mellow yellow, pretty pink and sky blue can give a modern kitchen a distinct retro edge.
