If you're just going for a period look, You may not want to sacrifice technological advancements.   Have you considered simply painting new(er) pieces the colors you want?   These 2 are practically new, yet their paint says hello 1962.    ...

I don't think ironing has ever been  so much fun.    The museum looks .... fabu-licious .  The black walls, bright window trim, and good lighting,  is an interesting but actually vibrant twist.

-Sara-   So it sounds like we have been denied full pictures of this beauty?  By all means post and chat away. the floor, the inside of the cabinets, the holes, the house, etc. I can't get enough of these older type houses.   Yes, your list of faults are valid, and typical of a home like...

The Avocado is very similar to the apartment I rented in 1989, built in 1969. It was the 30" P-7 version of this, without the light and just a chrome strip there. This is actually a rather cheap stove. It doesn't have a clock, it doesn't have self cleaning, no griddle. Yes it has the light...

Is this what your thinking? .

someone may have mentioned this.. With all this flap and goin' on about no bleedin' dryer ... Washer-Dryers are common place in the U.K. To some thick American who's used to see'n the likes of two machines, they'd half think ya do without. But they'ds a fool, yeah. For less than 500 quid...

It would be easy enough to make one out of sheet metal panning, used in HVAC. You could find that at Home Depot, most likely. While you're at it, replace that cord. I looks more wrinkled and frayed than a Romney supporter.

Or this one. . (kinda dirty right now)

You know what would be cool there? A 1960 24" GE stove, or similar, but in Pink or Sunshine Yellow. look- It has surface outlets, too.

Goldie- You must have gold fingers, finding all these golden oldies. I just hope you don't encounter golden showers when picky up. "I just scrapped the matching washer with suds saver." Gasp, You did what? And you talk about it like that was OK? Could you have not at least kept the top and...

lol. you sexy stinker.

The counters aren't matched. The section next to the stove has rounded edge tiles, whereas the sink area has flat edged tiles. The stove section has small tiles with a gray tile sporadically, and installed parallel to the edges. The Sink has 4x4 tiles, without a random colored tile, installed...

as was covered in reply #13 geee, You mean instead of writing word for word as I did, I could have just gone on line... copied and pasted. hmmm. clever. Do you have a source?

This is a good question. In the 60s there was actually a metallic copper as a choice for some appliances. I think it was literally thin copper that was highly polished. It looked kinda cool. A neighbor had this on her stove. I always call dark brown "coffee" There was shaded coffee starting...

somebodies going to get a new toy....

cute William said- "...I think these are the exact same tubs that are in the roto-rack models... " ahh no, not by a long shot. The door seal is the same but the motor mounting holes are different, the top of the machine was expanded to make room for the third wash arm, and the mounting holes...

If you have pairs, you might want to space everything 5' apart to allow for the matching dryer. If all your washers are in a row,I would use: DRAIN- a 2" horizontal pipe with "T"s that allow a 1 1/2" vertical stand pipe at each washer. You can save on materials and work, and put in only one...
