I especially liked the ironing center. The charcoal color appliances must not have been too popular, although gray tones in fashion and cars were very with it in the Fifties. Also liked the french door oven. Great video! I especially liked the ironing center.

Do you know were those sales ads for Frigidare? Those "french door" ovens are a Frigidare exclusive design from what I know, and I am wondering if the "shear line stying was part of their adverising slogan. How neat.

Cooking in heels and kicking back your leg in joy as your husband kisses you in the kitchen, in a fresh white apron. I wouldn't go for the french door oven though - imagine the many ways you could get a burn from one of those. Those were lovely, thank you!

We did the same thing with our kitchen, got rid of the old one and put a newer one in over a period of a few months. gosh that was interesting. yes I wonder what colours they chose and I wonder what they would’ve thought of our kitchens of today in comparison to theirs.

I think in the second clip, you could barely see a sputnik fixture hanging from the ceiling in one of the long shots! We were oohing and aahing over the light fixtures as well.

If anyone ever visits Dearborn, Michigan, you must visit The Henry Ford Museum. There are period displays of complete kitchens throughout history and also an excellent history of furniture display. Plus you MUST visit the Dymaxion House at The Henry Ford! It's a full size "house of the future" on display. It's a round aluminum home suspended from a central pole. http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/dymaxion/index.html I’ve never seen nor heard of a French-door oven!
