So as promised here are photos.
This one is a close up and does a pretty good job of conveying the color.
This one is just a larger swath.
We need to grab 2 more pieces to finish up and then we can move on to repairing the wall where the trim was located, removing the tile backsplash and begin the all encompassing job of getting the walls ready for painting. Ick. Once the walls are painted, we will put the new almond colored trim around the base of the wall.
This kitchen is interesting. At first I only noticed the lime green countertop. Then, once we replaced that, I noticed the pink flooring. Replaced that and now I am noticing the walls, the 1950's yellowed ornate plastic chime for the doorbell and the vent for the furnace about 2/3 of the way up the wall...
The walls I am already prepared for but the doorbell chime and register may need to get upgraded as well. Fortunately they are cheap. Most of the vents in the house have already been converted to a stained wood register so this is just one more. Reason we choose wood registers is because they look more appropriate in a house with original wood floor registers.
Ahh the joys of never ending projects. Believe it or not, we are enjoying the process. :P

Hope you will continue posting pictures. I'm happy following the house rehab of three bloggers here, yourself included, of course.

As to the collectors, I think they might be more anxious for my metal light fixture. Its a metal shield with just a small section that lets light through. Its definitely 1950's as well.
No worries about not posting. We still have plenty of pictures to amuse you.
