I have that same wallpaper! It was hung in my drawing room! (you can still see traces of it under the paint.). I found some scraps of it left over. So I used it in one of the decorator panels of my '85 Kenmore Kitchen Mate Refrigerator!

My folks had
similar masonite kitchen panelling with wallpaper applied in the 70's. Harvest gold kenmore appliances, Irish linnen pale yellow Formica counter top, light walnut cabinets. Congoleum white sheet vynil floor. Very small kitchen, but we had a portable dishwasher.

My first vintage dishwasher
<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The first vintage dishwasher I bought was an avacado KA KDS-17A. I bought it on eBay. It was about 3 hours away. Cost me more to get it home than it did to buy. I think I paid $25 for it.</span>

I just posted a link in Shoppers Square for an Avocado pressure cooker.

I just have to post a picture of the avocado and harvest gold GE Combo that John L. rebuilt for me. Sadly, for you avocado/harvest palette fans, this one is going to be painted white or turquoise.

A 1970s smaller GE SxS frig with no dispenser. Wish I still had it. I had to be the smallest SxS they made. 16 maybe 18 c.f.

Hi, here's an avocado and a poppy red machine I've saved from the trash.
Added the white one to make the Italian flag ^^

Those look great. Space saver models they appear to be.
For less than ten bucks….
Recent find. It can suck the chrome off of a bumper.

It looks like even the hose is avocado. Is the metal body of the machine gray of green?

I love the wallpaper and the over-all feel.
Sunbeam vac is totally green
That Sunbeam vac is green from start to finish.
I like cleaning the house in a green way. Is this what they mean?

As a kid, I devoured any architectural and design books I could find. One kitchen design book I remember clearly had a picture of a beautiful kitchen in Paris, a chef's own home. They had a washer very much like the avocado washer in your pic (but white) and I stared at that photo for ages, wondering what kind of machine that was. I could only imagine then it was similar to some of our compact top-load washers, never imagining it was an h-axis top load.

Oh what a cool avocado washer out pic of the day is!
A friend of mine a long time ago had one like it but it wasn’t hooked up—a low-to-middle-of-the-line white Whirlpool set was what was used instead…
