Longtime readers will recall my fixation with 50s and 60s electric plug-in devices to organize all the wonderful wife-saving appliances on the top of your kitchen countertop. Remember these previous posts?:
Happy birthday to me - my Sunbeam birthday present!

A timeless 1964 kitchen to celebrate the weekend. Reasons to like this one:
Beautifully put together - an airy white background graphically punched up with wood cabinet doors, cone-shaped light fixture, seat cushions and even napkins. Meanwhile, you see right through the wire chairs, continuing the airy and open feel.
The large-scale wallpaper on the door to [...]

San Diego, $1500. [...]

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 [...]

This feature shows a photo, then gives readers the whole weekend to ponder - then vote - to guess what decade the room/photo came from. The vast majority of readers were on the mark, detecting the modern clues. Take a look - and [...]
