This is the first time that I have seen a pink kitchen (with pink appliances, I mean) since visiting family members who had one, back in the 1960s. They had the pink oven, pink sink, and pink fridge – and a little breakfast nook with booth seating, like in a diner (that wasn’t pink though - I don’t really remember what color it was). Well, I thought that this was just the greatest kitchen ever, it fascinated me. The notion that you could have pink kitchen appliances. Don’t start the revolution without me!
I still really dig the pink. I even like the aqua/blue table and table settings. Not sure about the floor, it sort of looks like a school gym floor. But I am willing to overlook this. Oh, and the avocado jar on the counter? I want to keep it, but I think it goes in another room. The avocado room!
I believe that the rotisserie mentioned in the caption is on the far right.There seems to be a hunk of some sort of meat waiting on top of it. Why isn’t this next to the oven?
You can see a little bit of the next room, very woody and angular. I want to go right into the photo – like Mary Poppins and Bert went into the chalk picture, remember that? – and explore the whole house.
This wonderful picture is from the Ladies’ Home Journal Cookbook: New and Basic Recipes from 1960.
My moms friend had this kitchen,
except it was in aqua blue, it
even had the oven in the wall
like this one. It was definitely
1960′s. It made quite an impression
on me, because I still remember
all the “modern” details that this
house had.
Giggle! I love it.
I love that kitchen! I want to go into the photo as well, maybe sit at the table and drink out of the green glasses!
Double ovens! I had a set back in the mid-80′s. When did they go out of fashion and why? I loved those ovens.
A good friend of mine grew up with the turquoise version of this kitchen.
You are right about that avocado jar. Wrong house. Time to re-gift.
I would have been a much less “complicated” person had I grown up with a pink kitchen instead of Harvest Gold and Avocado Green. I uts know it.
I also grew up with the harvest gold and avocado green. That pink is kind of pretty, I don’t know if I could live with it day in and day out though.
