Thanks for posting that link, Vox. Interesting, and a nice bit of nostalgia attached. I've never seen or heard of the powder blue color either. Could it have been custom? When I was growing up, we lived in a home that was probably built and outfitted in the late forties. That kitchen had heavy steel cabinets and all-electric appliances which were all colored "jadite" green, and lots of chrome. I always thought it was rather pretty. -- Wayne in Phoenix unmunge as w-e-b *If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. *A mind is a terrible thing to lose. |
