This is a great time to come down and check out our terrific deals!

Welcome back for our second trip back through time! Let’s take another look at some 50s kitchens.

We know Lakeville supplied the beautiful cabinetry…but where did some of the accessories come from?

There’s a good chance that they were acquired with Green Stamps!

For the uninitiated: S&H Green Stamps were sheets of trading stamps given out with purchases at the supermarket, gas station, and other establishments. You pasted them in a special booklet…

…and when it was filled, you could cash them in for merchandise, either at redemption centers or through a catalog.
S&H Green Stamps date back to 1896, but really took off when 50s housewives used them to help stretch the family budget. Their popularity declined in the 1970s, but they are still around – and willing to redeem any stamps you still might have! They’ve also reinvented themselves online, as Green Points:
So the next time you revisit the 50s, take a close look – Green Stamps might’ve gotten more than you think!



Lakeville Kitchen and Bath and Medallion Cabinetry have combined their resources to create a line of new products based on customer and staff feedback. This includes eleven new door styles, which will be available at both the Lindenhurst and Smithtown showrooms.
Both companies have a long and successful history dating back more than seventy years – which makes them the perfect collabarative partners!

The most important thing in the youth of today is education, and no more so than in impoverished Kenya, where it is a lamp leading them out of the darkness of poverty and death.
Lakeville has been supporting the Kenya Education Fund since 2005, starting with a simple $100 gift by company president Richard Sirlin. Mr Sirlin has since become Vice President of the KEF, and Lakeville’s contributions have topped over $12,000.

During the week of June 21-25, members of the Lakeville staff were invited to Crystal Cabinets Works in Princeton MN for a tour and training seminar. While there, they learned how Crystal constructs their cabinets, got a sneak peek of the newest products and finishes, and were treated to the warmth and hospitality that the Crystal family always offers in abundance. An interesting and enjoyable trip!

Come take a trip with us back to the 1950s…

…when babies were booming, Tupperware parties were all the rage, and Lakeville was on the way to its second successful decade.

Kitchen designs were simpler but no less stylish, with modern finishes and layouts meant to highlight and harmonize with appliances.

What was Mom cooking up in her lovely new Lakeville kitchen?
Maybe a pretty salad…
…perhaps some soup… 
…or was she a “space-age” Mom who tried the new TV dinners?

Back to the 21st Century, but we’ll visit again soon…

Congratulations to Thomas Piccione on his acceptance into Marine Officer Candidate School! Thomas, son of showroom staff’s Barbara Piccione, is a second lieutenant working towards a captainship in aviation.
Congratulations also go out to Amber Fogarty, daughter of office manager Steven Fogarty, who helped the Bay Shore girls’ softball team earn the NYS Class AA Championship; and to Alex Genao, nephew of receptionist Kathy Sladky, whose two-run double led Lindenhurst to the NYS Championship in boys’ baseball.
We are very proud of them and wish them all the best!

Lakeville Kitchen & Bath has been very fortunate to have in our company, for the past twenty-five years, Mr. Norman Pitzer. Norman has been our comptroller for all these years and is now retiring and relocating, with his wife, Irene, to Seattle, Washington, to join their two sons, Raymond and Josh, already residing there.
Every company should be as fortunate as ours, to have a Norman Pitzer, for all the years we did. Personally, for each of the twenty-five years, Norman was by my side as a trusting, capable, thoughtful, respectful and dignified right hand confidant. Each and every one of my employees was equally lucky; as much as Norman had my best interest in mind, he too had each of his colleague best interest also in mind, making certain that every employee based decision was carefully considered and fairly administered.
Lakeville will miss this extraordinary individual, but we all know that Norman’s decision was made only after considerable thought – he was ready to be with his children in Seattle and leave behind a home at Lakeville where he was so loved, respected, welcomed and appreciated.
All good things must come to an end. The river of time keeps moving on. I, and all of Norman’s colleagues at Lakeville, know , how fortunate we all have been, and how much he has contributed to the success of this company and each of us. May he enjoy his new home and retirement for many, many happy, healthy and wonderful years to come.
