Where can I get ideas for a 1950's retro kitchen remodel?
We just bought a 1951 ranch house and the kitchen needs upgrading, but I want to keep the original 1950's theme. I'm looking for websites, magazines or books with ideas on cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, furniture, window treatments and accessories from this era.

i'd use vintage 1950s good housekeeping or better homes and gardens magazines, or find an interior decorating book from the 50s era. It might cost you $20 or so, but would include many photos and instructions on your design. you could probably find one on ebay. retro is back in a big way and finding replacement appliances (the look at least) to match your kitchen will be easy. try the sources below, and good luck.

I would try magazines like dwell, Metropolitan Home, Architectural Mags from Barnes and Nobles. The Architectural mags are a great resource.

Old cookbooks are a good source for 50's kitchens. They show lots of chrome and bright colors.
