Captivating portraits take a look inside America's Rockabilly community

24. I've found several sets for sale near me, but

the condition is always a bit too far gone for me. They can be refinished, of course, and a good auto body shop can repair dents and the like, but the cost is prohibitive. That's why I have searches going to find a NOS set. There are sure to be some somewhere that have never been installed and have been in storage safely. They made those cabinets well into the late 1960s, when they were no longer in style, so there had to have been sets that were never sold or installed.

If I could get a brand new set of uppers and lowers, along with a porcelain topped sink unit, for about the same price as a set of more modern cabinets, I'd snap them up. I already have boxes of the old 9" black and white rubber floor tiles, still in their original boxes, ready to install, but I won't use them until I find the cabinets.

I found a brand new 1950s Hotpoint gas range with double oven a few years ago, and it's in storage, waiting for the remodel. The plan is to reproduce a brand new kitchen that is contemporary for the house, top to bottom. Why not? It would be mega cool, wouldn't cost more than redoing the kitchen, and would really add something to this old house, I think.
