A 1957 kitchen with a play area and a breakfast nook. Plan provided!

This 1957 kitchen was designed as the central point of the house. Sweeping storage wall with built-in laundry area and meal planning corner. Host of worksaving appliances are a huge peninsula to give working room. The kitchen is divided yet open for different activities. Painted panel wall separates eating area from barbecue, males a handsome backdrop for relaxed meals. Lace curtains, antiqued angel wall hangings, Boston ferns in white iron urn, traditional dinnerware, ironstone bowls, marble-like surface, brass touches soften architectural lines. 

Barbecue corner teams up with cooking center to turn out delicious feasts. Kabobs go'round on motor-driven spits of protable grill. Ceramic tile accented with brass strips is snal to clean. brass hood moves up and down as needed. Shorty 30-inch cabinets make handy work surfaces, store supplies.

The core of this kitchen is spacious 6x4 foot cooking top peninsula. It's topped with marble-like laminated counter. Cooking top is close to both kitchen eating area and dining room (through center doors). Wall refigerator, undercoutner freezer and sink are just steps away. Room-length sweep of ceiling panel lighting, soffit lights and four "slim-jims" over peninsula flood kitchen with "sunshine". Ventialtor hidden in the panel light frame keeps kitchen fresh. Tin butterflies decorate the bold magenta-red wall, are a bit of fun.
