60s kitchen - a colorful example

Okay, I admit that I really may be losing my mind, but I love this kitchen! There are so many elements that come together so nicely:
- The white French Provincial cabinets.
- Of course, the fabulous wallpaper enveloping the room in color.
- The window shade - a version of which you can still order today.
- The vintage embossed linoleum/sheet vinyl floor.
- And be sure to enlarge the thumbnail to see the Frigidaire Flair (or imitator) range - very very cool.
The laminate countertop is what pushes this kitchen design into kitsch (especially when combined with the wallpaper.) If you used something more neutral — a white washed woodgrain would be great — I think the room would be more timeless. That said, so ‘66!
Wow! I swear this wallpaper is almost identical to what we had in our kitchen when I was growing up, except ours was in shades of orange. I got such a kick out of seeing this! -Julia
