Awkward Appliances and Decor

I love the poppy appliances, but the cabinets and floor need to lighten up.

Like a walk in the park?

I hope there are no dogs in the house.

GE washer dryer

OK, what was GE thinking when they made this set?
They had enough experience under their collective belts to know washers and dryers need to be interchangeable as to which side each is on and this set only fits together one way.

This $4 Million Napa home from the 70s had/has a "California kitchen" (lighted ceiling) but apparently they think it looks alright with bare bulbs, the drop ceiling frame work, but no plexi-panels?
The kitchen and another room with the ceiling are even worse as they didn't even fully paint the back ground behind the lights. come on.

GE harmony washer and dryer

GE made plastic housings for those control panels available at a reasonable cost so that you could have them correctly mated together if you couldn’t position the machines in their preferred manner of having the dryer on the left.

The dryer door also could be reversed easily for this type of installation.

That laundry closet, what?

This kitchen is well preserved I'll give the owner credit for that.
However, can you see doing laundry with a 48" tall door?

This kitchen also has a Nutone intercom system crammed tightly under the cabinets right next to a stove, and apparently the heat from the stove has damaged it as they have another radio on hand.
