I see mostly furniture based threads here. What about your kitchen?  

Nice kitchen, Jesgord-
I agree about stainless counter-tops-- great in theory, not so great to use. I have a stainless-topped cart in my kitchen, surface always looks like hell unless kept scrupulously clean and wiped just so.
Oops, guess I only irritated Heath further by posting a 1956 kitchen video. True, nostalgia can be hateful & cloying; on the other hand, the mid-twentieth century was arguably the golden age of design.

Do you think so? I'm thinking...
Do you think so? I'm thinking early 70's, stainless can look fine, castor or thin mineral oil cleans it up very nicely.

W-H-C: You were right, the cabinets are white high-gloss (I think they called it foil finish), with stainless steel pulls. The backsplash is white subway tiles and the counters are Caesarstone, which have been great.
Jesgord - That is a handsome kitchen!

Foil is
a thickish plastic film heat-and-vacuum stretched over a wood-product panel. Very nice looking and permanent, easy to clean.
Heath, I was thinking of this sort of thing:

Gene-
Well, then: your cabinets are as gorgeous as I initially thought. If I ever get around to a much-needed redo, I'm copying you.

Thank you!
Thank you!

Very
well done Gene!

Thanks SDR, thats just really awful, like Monsterrat Caballe in a bikini.
The foil doors are ok, the edges can lift over time though. Good old paint isn't too bad, can get taken off sanded back and repainted..which is what I should do here.

This is my kitchen
This is my kitchen, although it has changed a bit since this photograph (this was taken right after I moved in). Now generally there's just more stuff and more color. And the wall behind the china cabinet is a dark gray-brown.

I took some photos of a Frank Lloyd Wright kitchen during a tour a few months ago.

simplicity works
Our kitchen is nothing fancy design-wise, but it works -- clean open space, lots of light from the skylights -- and people tend to congregate here, which may be one sign of a successful kitchen ....

Gene's kitchen is lovely. Probably my choice if i needed to start over.
May make a mess of it the way i cook. I do like Kerf if it fit the
architecture. I wanted to replace my counters to slate but my kitchen is
dark as it is. I did think the galley style would be trouble, but it has
been efficient and easy to keep clean. A full wall pantry behind the
breakfast table, 4 sliding doors, has kept all the counters clear of any
appliance. Knives on magnet bars. Amazing little treehouse of a home
for '62. The kitchen is centrally located with 4 entrances, hall to all
the bedrooms runs behind this side of the galley.
