The cupboard was light blue or blue/green once, and that blue paint appears to have been taken back to reveal the earlier white. The pulls have age, but it's hard to know whether they are original - they are held in by newer screws in some cases. the bottom rear of the sides may have been cut away to account for base molding at one time.
