I remember all those appliances and more.

The cook top was a "pull-out"...it was crazy. But, I kind of like the vintage blue fridge with the freezer on the bottom...how fancy!! Love the article for teaching the children, too...by G. Bush!!

Totally cool but I would paint them something other than blue. The pink laundry appliances kind of stole my heart. Who would guess? :D and I am sure my mom and dad had an Ethan Allen rocker like the black one in one of the images.<br />The ads and the George Bush article are such magnificent vistas into the past. Loved it.

We live in a pretty small town and a lot of the historical houses still look like this, which I think is really awesome! I was actually looking at real estate listings this morning for a post I'm working on and I was a little surprised that some houses haven't been renovated at all in so long! I love the way they look, though!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887294003610943300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765366916959264577.post-37482759081279678472012-05-23T13:04:03.070-04:002012-05-23T13:04:03.070-04:00Loved the old photos!Loved the old photos!Jan and Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682267009362838385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765366916959264577.post-24226474161088165432012-05-23T09:24:19.304-04:002012-05-23T09:24:19.304-04:00Unfortunately, I remember all this and more, we di...Unfortunately, I remember all this and more, we did not have the colored applianaces though,(more exspensive) everything that came out of the dryer had to be ironed, wow this takes me back, thanks, I think!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765366916959264577.post-26284339391928946872012-05-23T00:19:07.085-04:002012-05-23T00:19:07.085-04:00Im an 80s baby but still have such a connection to...Im an 80s baby but still have such a connection to the retro era.

My mom looked so much as that lady with the girl and her cloths. My oldest are from the late 70's and early 80's, some day I will show you the cook books I made out of those days, cooking pages. I loved the pink laundry room!... although not much the blue kitchen..but the houndstooth chairs, sooo modern for today too.

When I bought my last house, the electric cooktop was at least 15 years old (we bought it 23 years ago) and it was sort of a brushed chrome. So that means it was maybe close to 40 years old! My Mom had turqouise in our 60's split level.
