Julia's Kitchen Being Remodeled
Industry publication Kitchen & Bath Business has an article in this month's edition about the 1961 kitchen, now in the Smithsonian, from Julia Child's home; where she created her daily cooking program.
The new film, Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep playing Julia Child, is such a smash hit that interest in The French Chef is reaching a fever pitch.

In the article, Ready, Set, Remodel, kitchen designers from around the US are asked how they would change Julia's kitchen today, to bring it into the 21st Century.
Me? I wouldn't change a thing.

I thought the same as you. I wouldn't change a thing. Then I started to examine the cabinets and thought about the drawer hardware. The drawers probably had a monorail attached at the top or bottom of the drawer. I would keep the cabinets just as they are but replace all the drawer boxes with dovetail hardwood drawer boxes with under mounted full extension tandem steel with soft close features.
