what fun photos...many thanks
It just doesn't seem like the 60's were that long ago but I guess they were. No wonder I get so many offers for burial or cremation services in my mailbox.
I especially like this photo of the lady wearing that dress from the "Dale Evans Collection"

Picture six stopped me in my tracks.
I bought a pink Hotpoint Custom Trend from a house whose kitchen looked identical to picture six. It was so cool.
The new owner, a young fella, was going to do a total remodel. Don't really blame him, the kitchen was way too feminine - especially with the pink Custom Trend.
The house was in Illinois and it was a model-home in the late 1950's or early 1960's.

"Can't wait to go skiing in my boxers honey!"
" I'll bring along some bananas, if I could just find them in this uber-yellow kitchen".
When they get home they can pull up a stool and watch the rotisserie, kiss and serve the food as the Hotpoint music box plays "Tenderly".
I was born in 1962 and my dad worked for Hotpoint. I don't remember having that much fun. My window of opportunity passed before puberty hit. Sigh.

This Chic Penthouse That's Frozen in the 1970s Is Surprisingly Cheap
Do you have $150,000 burning a hole in your pocket? Have you always dreamed of throwing a Boogie Nights-themed party in a penthouse with a view of the

70's apartment probably a bargain.
If it were offered a few years ago I would have bought it as an investment. Evanston is generally a good location.
The decor is another reminder that the 1970s was a period of style that thankfully faded. However I would have kept it. It is just stupid, crazy fun at this point. Rent it out as a movie set.

There was one like this in Florida a few years back. I think it was Palm Beach area with a view and the owners paid like 2 million. They were selling off the interiors so they could remodel.
No shortage of decorating absurdities in this series!
What make is the fridge in vignette 26? I don't think the brightwork reads "Combination" or "Coldspot." Could it be "Coolerator?"
The handles on that thing look like daggers!

Think that last one was Norge Customatic refrigerator, probably a Norge stove as well and a Waste King dishwasher.

Fun to look at, thanks for posting Ken. My parents had the blue cabinet with the wavy-glass doors in our bathroom. Does anyone recognize the stove brand in this tropically posed kitchen in my second photo?
Phil, all the appliances in your pic are Hotpoint.

Hotpoint!
Tom - thank you! Is that stove top a stove top with a panel or did they cover up the front of a stove they slid into place, (he wonders).

Phil, it's a built-in cooktop with backsplash control panel.

Backsplash
That's one elaborate backsplash panel; reminded me more of a stove than a cooktop. Thanks again, Tom!

"Penthouse"
Everybody's been passing that 70's time capsule around - it's NOT a penthouse, it's in one of the few non-lakefront high-rise complexes in Chicago, known as Winston Towers (1-5), often called Weinstein Towers (it's in West Rogers Park about as far as you can go north in that part of the city). The buildings were completed in the early 70's as condo's and were designed by a New Jersey architect (named Pancini iirc) and there is an identical building in Florida where, believe it or not, many people had identical units in both states. They have big units for the building type and were built on old truck gardens/garbage dump!
