Goodness !
We all have such lovely kitchens. I wonder if the remaining portions of our homes are equally nostalgia-inducing . . . ?

That was a fun ride. Please do more drugs.
Last night we feasted on grilled lamb sausage with roasted red pepper,
baby bok choy, and asparagus over rice noodles.
I've never found a foody forum Heath that held my interest for
long. I do follow a few blogs. This one good.

Not sure what happened Stephen. I was on the MOMA site at one
point. Then i went off to find my Eileen Gray book, took my puppy
out for a long walk, started reading a NewYorker article...
I had tried posting a photo but got the wrong thing and we don't have
'preview' here.
Clearly mark had more fun.
This was on my desktop this morning...huh?

I like your bold choices but ...
Your kitchen doesn't work because it isn't bold enough. The yellowish wall color, white tiles and blah counters just don't compliment your colorful cabinets. Your cabinet colors make those secondary elements look forgotten and faded. You need butcher block counters, a paint color maybe in a subtle green tone and then maybe the tiles could stay, but a colorful and funky mosaic would look beautiful and bring everything together.
I will be brave and post my kitchen. It's a new-build eat-in kitchen, and I didn't choose the cabinets, appliance color, layout, floor or counter. We did paint and add the tile. Although I would have picked something different, I'm OK with what we got. I can't justify the expense of replacing new, so I worked with what I got. I would like a new light, but I haven't found anything that meets my needs.

Well, here's mine, too. It isn't really mid-century at all so I wasn't sure I should even post it here. Anyway, when I redid my kitchen, I was considering a lot of different designs and color schemes, but in the end I went with white in a simple modern style. I do love colors but there is something about a white kitchen that I love, and I figured I'm not going to be able to redo the kitchen again anytime soon (if ever) and so I went with something that I was sure I could never grow tired of.

Maybe mid century design is dominating?
I like your kitchen and lived with a similar one a few years ago and found it suprisingly easy to keep clean, long and narrow was functional too.

Nice, Gene.
If that's a stainless steel counter, it's a remarkably rare artifact, I dare say. I'll bet you like it. The whole ensemble is neat as a pin, handsome and functional. The photo gives the cabinets a pink cast -- I was surprised to learn it's white. That's the property of white -- it can be a chameleon, though we usually don't consciously note that, in the flesh . . .?

No, the counters are not stainless, which would be really cool -- they are just quartz (ceasarstone).

That floor mat... Is it vinyl, fabric, or something else?

Reminds me of some 70's German and Japanese kitchens I've seen pictures of, hard to place the time aside from the appliances.
Stainless counters are really easy to make, made some splashbacks with my Dad for my folks kitcten, just folded sheet (1.5mm thick) vacuum pressed onto particle board, was easier than formica and about the same price if not cheaper.
