New Business for lumberyqrds in Kitchen Field in | 958 Reveqled qr Annuql Wood Kifchen Cobinet Meet

Homeowner demand r,vill create a boom in the kitchen business in 1958, declared Richard C. Chapman, president of the National Institute of Wood Kitchen Cabinets, at the institute's annual winter meeting in the Sheraton hotel in Chicago, January 22. He cited three reasons for this forecast : l. Home buyers and remodelers are demanding bigger kitchens rvith more built-in features and a furniture look

2. Builders and kitchen planners are meeting this demand b1' specifying factory-engineered cabinets and name-brand appllances.

3. Lumber, appliance and plumbing dealers in increasing numbers are specializing tn kitchens in order to help fifi the need for qualified counsel and service.

"First of all, let's look at the cabinets," he said. "Wood cabinets are at an all-time peak of popularity, with naturalgrain finishes leading over color finishes. A late styling being used by a leading appliance manufacturer to show its 1958 line, uses both natural-grain and colored cail>inets in an interesting decor. This could develop into a trend. Wood kitchen cabinet manufacturers are offering their cabinets in a whole 'forest' of finishes-from light m,rdern .rvood tones to the new spiced and honeyed shades used in contemporary furniture, as well as an array of decorator colors.

"The new cabinets look like fine furniture pieces. Thev also offer many new factory-engineered convenience feitures, such as an ironing board that folds arvay into its own 21-inch base cabinet and a built-in seu'ing machine cabinet," he continued.

Kitchen designers, the cabinet men were told, are doing all sorts of things with their new cabinets; for instance, using an island arrangement for the main .ivork center, and fastening rvall cabinets, with backs removed, directly to glass brick for "daylighted" interiors.
