In 73, my folks bought a 1960 ranch, still original appliances, GE Wall oven, in pink, with a thermometer probe and rotisserie. The counter top 4 units was brushed stainless, matching the sink. The controls were mounted on the wall behind it, kind of difficult, and I replaced a burner about annually. The Dishwasher was GE, pulled out instead of front door, and a bowtie blade propeller, lasted until about 75. Also, an undercounter 50 gallon hot water tank at the end of the kitchen, don't know the brand, but I've never seen one again. I think the fridge was our own from our old house, and very likely did not match. There was a GE vent/light/fan, something tells me brown/bronze, not pink. We had moved from an un-remodeled 1929 home, I was extremely impressed with a built-in dishwasher, a fan/light, and the disposal. Our 1960 home also had a built-in vacuuum system, frankly I don't think it worked as well as most vacuums, and the 25 foot hose was really a pain. But, our folks left a portable dishwasher in the old home, maybe GE? I do remember the top-opening lid and the very rounded corners, wish I had it now. One knob, no buttons, pretty simple. I don't remember where the hoses came out, front or rear or top.

I've posted this before, but since you asked. East side of galley:

West side of galley:

In our first house we lived in until 1993 the Kitchen had formica wood pattern cabinets, a beige brick pattern vinyl floor, a 36" or 40" avacado green GE gas range, and matching top freezer frost free fridge, and on the counter was the Sears Frog Family canister set and the TOL 1984 JCPenney solid state microwave which was a wedding shower gift of mothers.

In 1993 we built a new house, we have a medium finish all wood cabinets, cream formica couners with some color flecks, a 1993 Frigidaire 30" range with encapsulated steel burners(I bought a new Kenmore smooth top in 2007), and a white Sears Kenmore 18 top freezer fridge(which is still in service, and the TOL 1984 JCPenney microwave came along(I bought a new 2.0 cu ft Kenmore Elite in 2008), we started off with no dishwasher as mother didnt want one, then in 2000 we got a Kenmore Elite that has been replaced twice each time with a slightly lower end Kenmore

Two more kitchens I remember as a child were my grandmothers kitchens, as I spent alot of time there as well.

Grandma Mary has an eat in galley kitchen with 5 windows so it is always light and airy, as a child the walls were celery green, and there were sheer Sears Perma-Prest priscilla curtains on the windows(still have them) on one wall of the kitchen is a set of plain maple finish cabinets with grey cracked ice formica counters, and grandma also had the same Sears frog family canister set as mother, and set in the middle of the cabinets was a white 1967 GE 40" range with P*7 oven(later replaced by a 6 Frigidaire then a custom built 40" Frigidaire in 2009) on the other side of the kitchen was an early 1980's Kenmore 21 cu ft top freezer fridge, a microwave cart with a shelf full of Corningware and a 1984 Tappan solid state microwave with browning element, and a metal sink cabinet with porcelain top and sink. And always sitting on the GE range plugged into the timed outlet was a GE coffeematic II drip coffee maker, and she has a brown small stone patern Congoleum floor.

Grandma Rose has a larger eat in kitchen with a nice bay of windows around the table, her kitchen has medium wood cabinets with black hammered iron drawer pulls, white formica with gold flecks, a red brick backsplash, chestnut brown glued down carpet, and she had all TOL GE appliances from 1966 in avacado(afterall they were GE dealers) there was a side by side fridge, 24" P*7 wall oven, and Dishwasher with Rinse-Glo(DW is only appliance left) and there was also a 1970's GE glass cook top, and she has one of those built in Nutone food center thingys and the Cory crown jewel percolator and Mixmaster model 10 sat on the counter along with a police scanner, and there is also a Tell City dinette set and matching serving cart in the kitchen.

My parents looked for a long time to get us out of the 'hood. Finally, the day came, my OM came home and said "Ann, I found a place where you can pull the car in right next to the kitchen and bring the groceries right in!!!"  That sold my OL right there!  After years of parking the car outside our tenement (or down the block), hauling bags through the alley and up the stairs and through the back porch into the kitchen, this was nirvana!

We moved into the typical 50s-60s split-level.  Pink-and-grey.  In a development of about 70 houses.  All exactly the same floor plan.  Everyone in the development was from somewhere else, so families bonded immediately.  90% of us were Catholic, so all us kids went to the same schools, had the same doctor, went to the same dentist, etc.

Kitchen was a choice of Frigidaire for electric cooktop and wall oven.  Pink, turquoise, charcoal, yellow.  I don't remember white being a choice.  Only one family on the street had the charcoal.  Wall ovens could be french-door or drop-down.  We had the pink.  Everything was BOL.  Blondwood cabinets!!!  With coppertone masks around the knobs.  In the 1970s, most had them refinished into a darker color.  Again, everyone used the same contractor.

Floor was linoleum, but was rather "soft", I can't remember what it was called.  Ours had a confetti pattern.  I remember my OL bitched when her GF's from Penna. came to visit and their high heels left "dents" in it.  They eventually replaced it with Armstrong "Solarian" in the 1970s.  Red brick=big mistake!  Showed every crumb or dust mote!

My parents brought the 1948 Westinghouse "Two Temp" that they got when they married.  It was replaced by a 1965 General Electric frost-free top freezer.  You can see it in the opening scene of the movie "That Thing You Do!".  They sold it with the house in 1993.

We had a laundry room, my OL's 1953 Crosley Rollamatic semi-automatic washer called that home until about 1968.  We had no dryer until 1965 (Kenmore 500 electric), she hung everything on a "spinner" clothesline in the yard and still did until they moved.  The dryer was for inclement weather only.  That, too, was sold with the house in 1993.

The washer was replaced with a Kenmore "70" series (just like practically everyone else on the street), and then another Kenmore "penta-swirl" later on.  That, too, was sold with the house.

Our kitchen was "eat in", something you don't find anymore.  It faced east, which made it nice and cheerful in the morning.  The houses across the street got the sun in the evening, which made them hot as hell in the summer/fall.

Oh, yez.  Pink tile behind the cooktop and sink.  Pink Formica counters in the "boomerang" pattern.  A GE toaster-oven, and later (1990s) GE microwave (NON-rotating glass tray), 500W.  We didn't have a dishwasher until I bought a 1970 GE Mobile-Maid portable.  My OL didn't want to "give up" one of the cabinets to house a DW.  Most of the other homogenized homes adapted a Hotpoint DW to fill the bill.

Only other quirk was everyone had a NuTone stove vent that was controlled by a pull-chain.  When you yanked the chain, it would open and start.  Since we had a "Car Porte" and not a garage, it would often freeze shut in the winter.  Someone would have to go outside with a knife or screwdriver and pop the vent door open so the fan would start.

Our next-door neighbors had a million kids and were the only ones to have a Hotpoint bottom-freezer fridge.  Everyone else had a TF.

Neighbors across the street were a childless couple who had top-of-the-line everything.  Their Maytag washer and dryer (I can't recall the series, but it was center-dial) were always illuminated when guests were visiting.  This used to piss my OL off to no end.

And my OL ironed everything with her GE steam iron in front of the TV in the rec room while watching "her stories".  I still do almost the same, except I'm usually watching Mets games!

Memories are made of this.

When my parents were married they bought a 2 story house that had been built in 1922.  It came with a 30" Monarch gas range that lasted until 1983.  The fridge was an Amana frost-free with a "Fast Freeze" shelf which lasted until about 2007.  The washer & dryer were in the basement.  The 1967 GE FF washer was on the right side of the double tub concrete laundry sink, and the matching electric GE Versatronic dryer on the left.  That laundry sink came in very handy because mom has only ever had suds-saver machines.  The washer lasted until the mid 80's when it was replaced with another FF machine.  The dryer lasted until approx. 1997 when Mom got a matching set of Dependable Care Maytag's.  The reason the first dryer lasted so long is that Mom hangs quite a bit outside to dry, and only uses the dryer when the weather doesn't allow it.  In the mid 80's we also upgraded from a 60 amp service to 100 amps.  The Monarch stove got replaced witha GE gas range, and that one was replaced in about 2006 with another GE range.  An Amana Radarange came into the house around 1981, and lasted until 2005 when my wife and I gave them a new Amana mw for Christmas.  With the exception of the first mw, and various small appliances, all of the major appliances my parents have owned have been white.

We got our first dishwasher in approx. 1972 which was a KA Regency portable that lasted about 15 years.  Next was a GE Potscrubber portable, and in the early 2000's, another GE portable.  Mom won't have a dishwasher built in because she doesn't want to sacrifice cabinet space.
