Description: Title of Publication: House & Garden Date Released: August 1968 Volume: 134 Issue No. 2 Style: Vintage Tagline: Incorporating Living for Young Homemakers Era: Mid-Century Modernism, Modern Cover: GUERRERO; Country-fresh as a field of cornflowers, a true-blue kitchen of the size H&G calls midi--the medium size most families have. This one, however, has much in common with the larger kitchen we call maxi: It is a room where two people can work without getting in each other's way (there are even two sinks), where a child can play and keep some of his toys; and where visitors coming in the back door from the parking court are welcome to stay a while. Designed by architect Frank W. Cauley, Sr., and interior designer Sally Wynn for the midwest house of Robert Smith, the kitchen is equipped with every spaceage aid from an inter-com to self-cleaning ovens. The gas range in the stainless steel counter is even supplemented by two-burner electric cooking unit on the opposite side of the room---earmarked especially for last-minute sauces. The color scheme was inspired by the family's Delfware but the base cabinets were purposefully painted a darker blue so they wouldn't show a three-year-old's fingerprints. Adding more traditional flavor is the dark-finished armoire for china and glass storage near the door to the dining room--although it looks antique, it is actually a new built-in. Over all the work areas is shadowless light--from incandescents recessed in the ceiling and from fluorescents under the wall cabinets. For more kitchens of every mood and every size--maxi, midi; mini, and micro.
