We Just Cant Decide, ugh!

[foraloysius]

"as we don't want two major appliances to be the same color in the Kitchen, it throws everything off!"

Then I would prefer a pink dishwasher and a yellow stove over a yellow dishwasher and a pink stove. The pink dishwasher works very well on that side.

How about blocking that door and keeping both!

That was also my initial not entirely flippant thought. They do look good together!

Yellow - against the turquoise it gives the kitchen a 50's University of California (yellow and blue) motif.

Pink - the classic 50's contrast for turquoise.

I'd put the yellow in the laundry room in the basement, to help serve wash-in demonstrations, and put the pink in the kitchen.

And I'd also stop cruising Craigslist for more ranges. You're fixed for life with those three!

My dos centavos:

Stay with the yellow.

I once tried yellow..

In our kitchen and couldnt stand it, but im a bit biased, my parents had everything painted either yellow or green so I cant stand either...LOL

 

[firedome]

I guess my preference for the pink one in this room

is based on the predominating yellow and turquoise on the floor and walls... the pink is just crying out for balance. Now to really go over the top, all we need is some pale purple and light mint green in there for the true pastel experience!

What is the old cliche? You can't be too rich, too thin, or have too many pastels . . .

I thought it was no collecting white appliances after Labor Day?

Re appliance colors..

Hotpoint made a mint green I really liked in the early 50s before turquoise came out, seafoam or something like that, Westinghouse confection colors were my very favorite, their pink and turquoiseish colors were beautiful, but if you really want different, find a cadet blue GE!!!

Choices-Choices

I would vote Yellow or maybe a two tone, Yellow is so much more masculine and besides we must think about all the 70s boys [ we must keep them happy ] that might just think that your Yellow range is just faded Harvest Gold.

 

[iheartmaytag]

Both are good choices.

I'm voting to rotating them out. Or you could always do a second kitchen in the basement. You never have enough oven space on holidays or when entertaining.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Thanks for all the feedback guys. The problem is if the range gets moved to the basement than two appliances in the basement need to go, meaning two vintage washers or a vintage washer and dryer. In this house the washers and vacuums rein supreme over all other appliances so the washers win.

Only one color can win and we are still just as torn lol!

 

[iheartmaytag]

If you can't have both

I vote yellow.
or keep the pink and send me the yellow one.

 

[kevin313]

They are both beauties!

But given the entire look of your kitchen and the wonderful mix of colors you have, I would vote yellow. I think it is a nice compliment to the pink dishwasher on the other side.

 

[rickr]

I like the yellow best. I have always loved your kitchen, and always thought the yellow range added so much character to the vintage look.

 

[moparguy]

Robert, do you mean that you don't have a front porch to put your 'surplus' appliances on, as fabulous decoration? LOL. Covered and protected porch, of course.

Either pink or yellow, it's a great stove and will look great in your beautiful kitchen... I have color envy!

 

[jeffg]

What Kevin and others said. Pink is wonderful and so is turquoise imo, but the combo is one of the most depressing there is.

I Don't Know If This Helps, But....

I looked at both the pink and yellow photos with a magazine editor's eye, as if I were choosing between them for publication.

The yellow won hands-down; the pop of yellow there and its tie to the yellow on the wall made for a very good balance of colors within the photo.

The pink is slightly "dead," in pictorial terms; it's a nice enough color, but it does not offer the visual interest in that area that the yellow does. The balance of colors within that photo does not engage the eye to anything like the same degree as does the photo with the yellow.

These comments would be specific to the kitchen as it exists now; they don't mean that the pink range could not be sensational with some redecoration (the pop of pink that Greg's GE range offers his more neutral kitchen looks great). But without changing anything but the range in your kitchen, the yellow works better visually.

 

[philr]

Don't you have anything that could be stacked to save more space?! I know your slant front Westinghouse aren't exactly Spacemates but... Too bad the lint filter would be a bit out of reach on this dryer if it's stacked above the washer!

 

[dirtybuck]

Yellow. But iheartmaytag and I are on the same wavelength on the rotation idea.

 

[abcomatic]

Both ranges are wonderful. I vote for the yellow one. Have with this. Gary
