I'll take the first kitchen, minus the woman, ha ha.
I grew up in one of those official Medallion Homes...
The kitchen was completely outfitted with Turquoise Gaffer & Satler builders' appliances--including the infamous D&M model 410 dishwasher. I still have the wall oven.
I also dig that thin tie from the first pic.

Send me the woman and the second kitchen with the women from there too LOL.

Both
kitchens have some (very) appealing aspects, but there is a distinct design flaw in the second kitchen.
There appears to be no heat-resistant surface near the wall oven for hot items.
It is a very dangerous idea to rest hot dishes/pans on the open oven door.
On a stove, you can momentarily place hot items between the elements or burners.

Maybe we should designate Applianceville as a "flame-less" territory...

Well, I'm offended, christfr.....No children??? Why, that was little ole me during my early modeling days! (ha-hee-ho-ha-ha-ha!)
Lawrence, the 1961 kitchen I essentially grew up in was very similiar in arrangement, except we had O&M gas cooking. We just simply pulled stuff out of the oven and set it on the cooktop. There essentially was no space on the right because of the built-in NuTone Kitchen Center and a bar sink to the right of taht and on the left of the oven aws a pantry rather than laundry room door. Never a problem in our house and that included me in and around the kitchen.

i already have a woman,but ill still take her along with that washer
Isn't that a shelf behind grandma's behind? You could set things there and if the surface was not heat proof, you could use some of those decorative tiles or cute cast iron trivets that were always cluttering...I mean so darn popular.
I've got a bunch of those pix.
I've got a bunch of those Hotpoint pix. They were the "kitchen of the month" on the 1960's Hotpoint calendars. If I could just find them, I'd scan them. Still got sooo much in boxes after I moved.
Yes - I've got to get a canopy to accompany my Silhouette laundry pair.. when I get them...
BTW, the counters won't marr - they're made of WESTINGHOUSE MAKARTA. haha

That's grandma?!?? And here I thought it was a Happy Hotpoint Boston Marriage. Nobody noticed the center dials on the laundry equipment.

Spinout, hit the nail on the head!!!!
Yes! I completely forgot that we had that intercom system!!! Actually, in our house it was a necessity. My mother worked at home on the third floor of a four floor walk-up in NYC. She received and sent packages all day long via a messenger service and they had to get through two security doors with electrically-controlled locks. When the doorbell rang she'd use the intercom to see who was there and then use a feature built-in to it to unlock the doors. As kids, of course, we also used it to spy on the other family living in the building but got in severe trouble if we were caught.

I agree with you totally.

Turquoise kitchen
Are we suppossed to believe that they are making strawberry jam or preserves because there are two "fruit jars" on the counter and 3 boxes of berries present? No aprons, fancy dresses without stains and heels? What a fantasy!
Why is the wig on the Styrofoam head sitting on the washer? Easy to grab on the way out so that it can be put on and adjusted in the car when she is not so busy? Or, did the washer have a Dynel & Kanekalon cycle? Remember "Wearing a wig hat and shades to match"? Wig hats were sold in the hat department and displayed on those "trees" with the little round foam pads on the top of the branches to hold hats. They came in different colors and ladies would sit down at little glass tables with a mirror or two and the saleswomen would sort of style the stuff on the outside of the hat that resembled the hair on those Troll dolls of the same period.

I missed the WIG
Maybe the wig was part of Hotpoint's advertising at that time.
To compete with Philco's
"Look ahead and you'll choose PHILCO"
Hotpoint had:
"LOOK! A HEAD! and you'll choose HOTPOINT!"
