The “Hot in Cleveland” tsunami is good for all things mid-century modest, I tend to believe. Hey: Check out the Dishmaster faucet in the kitchen… and the Armstrong vinyl tile floor arranged in vintage style. I tend to believe the set designers found these: here at Retro Renovation! 🙂

my friend directed me to your site as i’m starting to restyle an 80s mobile home, and this was one of the first pics that really caught my attention. i was gazing jealously at it, trying to take in all the details- and i realized that’s almost the exact stove i just bought!! i’m def using those armstrong tiles, too, and that layout gave me many ideas. love the site, thanks for all the inspiration!

If I had sen that floor pattern before I did mine that would be in my kitchen right now!

I have been trying to figure out how to finish my floor and was leaning towards cork, but after seeing the floor I think that I might want to go that route. It would look FAB and using the olive green in place of the blue and leaving the cream and red would pull the colors in from my living room and this is something that I could do myself instead of hiring it done. I KNEW there was a reason I logged on this morning!!

Ditto on the floor – It’s fantastic!

I also love the floor. Looks like it would be pretty easy to replicate with 12×12 Armstrong tiles.

I used to watch the Dick Van Dyke show alot and where I do not remember the Petrie Kitchen ever having a Dishmaster I do remember seeing an Electro Sink Center in a few early episodes….to understand and see a picture of what I am talking about go to this link over at automaticwasher.org and check it out.

I love the floor! If anyone is looking for a built in pink oven, there are three of them, yes THREE! At Habitat for Humanities Restore in Buffalo, NY. There was also a pretty cool teal sink/toilet and some other accessories to go with them. 🙂 I rent right now, but I thought someone might want to go grab them.
Jackie says
The sink was a Crane, I don’t remember the names of anything else, sorry!

Pam, I’ve been catching up on the The Dick Van Dyke show compliments of hulu.com and in several episodes the Dishmaster is in the Petrie kitchen!
pam kueber says
Alice, I recall talking to the Dishmaster folks about this… but they say that the faucet in the Petrie house is not a Dishmaster. Back in the day, there were a few competitors/pretenders… I’ve seen an ad, it’s bookmarked in my stash somewhere… good spotting, though!

The kitchen “faucetry” on The DVD Show changed a few times… but the most prominent contraption visible through much of the series was the Electro*Sink*Center, which included a Dishmaster-like appendage. The unit was manufactured by Electro Way Corp. in Los Angeles. Please see my 12/28/09 posting under “Tappan push-button plumbing – 1963”
