A realtor I know put something up on Facebook about what not to do when
taking pics of home listings. This led me to some websites of ugly homes
and picture after picture of cabinets put in by the builder, John F. Long.
Apparently he died recently at age 87. He was a builder in the Phoenix AZ
area and he installed these cabinets during the 60's and 70's. Just looking
at them makes me feel depressed and unsettled. And I hadn't even thought of
this until I read a comment that someone had written, but just imagine how
much grease and dust those things would retain. Eek!

Please note that not all of the pics in that link are his stuff. His are
the ones with all of the little wooden panels and from what I have seen,
when first installed, they were mostly dark in hue. Such as black or
brownish black. All the more depressing.

Things like this actually make me feel a bit better because I don't have
them! I do feel sorry for anyone who has been saddled with these
eyesores in their house who can't afford to replace them. They don't like
quite as scary when painted white or blue but they still are not good.

Normally I like a retro look. Just not this one!
