1954 Geneva Metal Kitchen Cabinets + Extras

FOR SALE SOLD

 

 

Thank you for your interest, but the cabinets and countertop are sold! I've kept this page on my site because it is somewhat of a diary entry for us about our kitchen remodel.

 

But don't despair -- You may have some luck with the sponsors shown on this page!

 

There is a lot of storage capacity in this vintage set of custom cabinets original to our 1954-built home. We decided to remodel and get wood cabinets, so you benefit. To give you an idea of their scale, the long side of the L-shaped counter is 12'5" long. The 15" drawer cabinet unit still bears its original Geneva label inside it. These cabinets have some paint wear and surface rust, but are in otherwise good condition. The adjustable shelves are metal wire, allowing for good air circulation inside. The sink unit shows evidence of some earlier touch-up. Freshly painted, they would look incredible in any retro kitchen.

 

Because our kitchen is small, it was hard to get pictures of the whole cabinet layout; therefore, I did the 3D rendering of their layout below, including measurements of each component. There are photos in this gallery.

 

THE CONFIGURATION:

 

 

Cabinets are currently installed exactly as shown above,
in a 12’5” x 7’9” corner area of our kitchen.

COUNTERTOP INCLUDED: Original metal-edged countertop in funky boomerang pattern. It’s in good condition with a few stains that will probably come out given the right cleaning. There is some wear to left of sink (we just kept a glass cutting board over that spot. It would be cool covered with stainless steel, for that matter).
