Frigidaire. It was sort of scuffed on the outside and was white. I had an avacado sink(still do) and an avacado stove. I could not afford a new fridge. I put a pink and green small floral pattern contact paper on the fridge and thought I would probably hate it later but I loved it,, it was uniquely mine. and it was the best fridge we ever owned. We must have moved 3 times with it before it finally quit on us. Back in the 70′s when we were renting we bought a used 18 cu. Frigidaire. It was sort of scuffed on the outside and was white.

I personally don't care for sixties revival kitchens and bathrooms because of the very things everyone else here is admiring. To me, the colors are too garish, and the ideas weren't always thought out very well. You're right about the Formica plastic laminate used in the bathroom. It is NOT waterproof, and over the years the people who had it installed probably had lots of time to regret their choice. I also think that remodeling one's home with motifs that are billed as "so out they're in" just assures one of a kitchen or bathroom that is eventually "out" again. I think one is much better off sticking with classics, because you never really get tired of those. Just my opinion, of course! Well, to each his own, I guess.
