Another, I like the idea of the office chair sitting while iorning, unloading the dryer, and folding clothes.

Those colours are authentic to the period,

However, they give me a headache!

(No, more like extreme nausea).

The dryer in the first picture is a fine example of a gas Maytag with pilot access.

Thanks, Don, for finding and posting.

My mom used an office type chair while she was ironing.-She also used it in her sewing room.My dad built a lower height ironig board for her to use.Come to think of it-she still has that chair.Uses it in her sewing-hobby room.She also has a sewing supplies cabinet that can serve as a seat while sitting at the sewing machine.My dad made the cabinet long ago on his Shopsmith.She still uses the cabinet-but not as a seat.It has spools of thread and parts for her sewing machines.The office chair she has is VERY comfortable.It was not that expensive-its got to be about 40 years old.Its survived many moves and use.Don't know what brand it is.the pictures of the laundry rooms is pretty neat-like those hangers that look like people-hanger-people-pretty neat.Clever idea.-Would be a good scrollsaw or bandsaw project.
 
God do I love that specific Maytag set. My grandmother had one...and just got rid of it last year. It was never repaired or gave her a minutes problem. She was a clean laundry fanatic....I only remember her using warm water washes like 2 times in my life...never cold. That washer stayed on HOT 95% of the time. And her hot water measured up there about 160-170 degrees. Not to mention the scoop and half of Tide w/ Bleach in her chemically softened water.....and about 2 caps of Downy in the one and only rinse. Its a wonder the clothes didnt make her scratch her ass off. Just thought I would share, ya'll.
 
The picture with the office chair, the washer & dryer are the 1964 Norge DispensoMat washer & dryer my parents had. The dryer is in stop'n'dry mode and the washer cycle button I believe pushed is #3, which was white cottons, but with a cold rinse.
 
Thanks for the ID Bob! I only know the book is copywrite 1963. Rex I was wondering about the blue ones also, they really look cool!

"God do I love that specific Maytag set. My grandmother had one...and just got rid of it last year. It was never repaired or gave her a minutes problem."

So why did she end up getting rid of them? Just because they were "old"? Or did she move to a smaller place or something like that?
 
Lawrence, all these colors were quite avante gard and ... for the time(s). We got GE combo, Frigidaire, Norge (I believe twice), Maytag, and Whirlpool

Loud n Lovely Laundry Rooms

Geez...remember when laundry rooms used to be fun? What's happened to us? We're so white on white and predictable.

Had to laugh Don...When you were talking about the "office chair", I thought you were referring to the white one in the green and orange set up! Guess that would be convenient too! LOL

Thanks for the great pics! Too much fun!
 
Re Grandmother's Maytag

She replaced it because she was told it was not repairable. I have no idea what year she bought it. But it surely was a worker. I wish i would have known, or I would have kept it for myself. :)
 
67 whilpools

Agiflow-they are 67's, possibly the book didn't get an update copywright for some reason. The beautiful Maytag set is at least a 66. But thanks Don for all of these good pictures. You done good, man
 
I know those are period colours!

psychedelic period, at that.

Please don't think that years of rental living (flat white latex) has warped me totally.

I like to mix a saturated colour, a related pastel, and white.

Oh, so I guess it finally DID give her a "minute's worth of trouble" :-)

How much do you want to bet that it WAS repairable and she just got a lazy repairman?
 
Repairable

Repairable is a decision the customer makes based on the cost of the repair. Most everything can be repaired but at what cost. The repairman, at least this repairman, gives the customer an estimate to repair the machine with, possibly, a recommendation. Ultimately it is the customers choice weather it is repairable or not. A "lazy" repairman won't be around long since his job depends on making money, thus repairs. Repairman who only make a service call charge on every call would not be too successful. If the customer feels the cost of the repair is too high, one can look for alternatives. Buy new, look for another repairman who may charge less, fix it themself, etc.
