[quote=Anonymous]I love the floor. I have Shaker cabinets that, if not older, would have been installed in 1949 (house was divided into apartments at that time, although the remaining cabinets in the other kitchens that still existed when we got the place had flat panel plywood doors). Floor is maple but not as beautiful as the picture. I love this style but would also vote for Shaker style cabinets (even though cleaning those edges is a pain. I'm also partial to white appliances. Both sets of grandparents lived without indoor plumbing until their 80s (my parents were farm kids and the youngest of very large families with parents who married relatively late in life). I have wonderful memories of farm visits as a kid and white enamel dishpans, water buckets (used a dipper to drink, and a white enamel cup at the well to grab a drink with). My dad's mother didn't even have cabinets. She had a pantry with shelves, the fridge (yes, she referred to it as the icebox), and a worktable with tin bins for flour and sugar and a pull out cutting board, with the rest of food prep being done at the kitchen table or on the (huge) wood/gas combo stove (other grandma had an electric stove and a big all wood stove). Very traditional white kitchens push my nostalgia buttons, without memories of the work those women had. [/quote]
