I love it all, Gregg. The entire house is beautiful but I have to admit that I like the aluminum Christmas tree most of all! I'll have to borrow a camera and post some pics of mine.
Gregm--someone must have reversed the lid. All Kenmores open to the left from the factory. Does yours have a self-cleaning filter or a waterfall? Is it a Model 80? My LK had the toggle pushbuttons rather than a cycle dial. One last question: Does this machine have a softener reservoir in the console for automatic softener dispensing or a single-shot timed dispenser?
I grew up with a 1960 Model 80, which had pushbuttons, a waterfall lint filter and a single-shot timed bleach/fabric softener dispenser.
My '59 LK had a softener reservoir in the console and a self-cleaning filter.
Excuse all the questions, but I'm curious. I took vintage Kenmores for granted, having grown up with one; now I think they're pretty cool machines. Except for the suds-locking first spin, LOL!

Hope you have many years of happiness there.

Very nice place! I bet that steam radiator heat feels prettty nice in the winter! That red radio on the kitchen counter caught my eye. Is that a repro, or a real tube radio? That old Western Electric phone in the living room caught my eye too. The picture of the house on your bathroom? Well, that is almost identical to my granmother's old house. The Holiday ought to be plenty merry with the bubble lights and the color wheel on the Christmas tree!!!
thanks all
thanks all for your comments and Steve (cybrvanr), yes the steam heat is AWESOME, its my favorite type of heat. The red radio is an original genuine Emerson tube radio, refurbished and works great. The Western Electric phone refurbished as well and an original also works great. The picture of the house in the bathroom is my folks house. That is the original photo that my mother pulled from a magazine to give to the builder to have built in 1955. My mother loved "modern" back then and it was a different style from anything else in that neighborhood. Its the house I grew up in and my folks still live there today. Its a flat, "hot tar & gravel" roof, no attic. The house gets pretty hot and hard to cool in the summer. The length of the house goes from front to back and not left to right. The living room left to right is about 14' and from front to back about 20' with 12' ceiling at its highest point on one side with clerestory? windows. There are three bedrooms, one bath, LR and kitchen. The modern style "squares" frame the porch or what was called a "breezeway" back then. Growing up my folks glassed it in and later made it into a year round dining room. I still like the original style the best.
