1. Good god, that's our kitchen!

Pretty sure Mom had that exact pantsuit, too!

2. Well now! You sure know how to make a fella

feel old!

3. When my daughter and her husband bought their home, we found similar wallpaper in the kitchen

underneath a more recent layer. We covered that up with paint, but she is still living with the harvest gold formica countertop that is probably older than she is. It finally goes away this summer.

For the record, my pantsuit had long sleeves, but those shoes really look familiar.

5. Im guessing more than a few pairs of those shoes were sold!

4. I kinda miss "colorful" appliances

Bought a fridge at Sears recently. The choices were steel, black and white. We got white. Even an off-white is only available in a few models.

6. I think a few very high end appliances are available in colors.

Of course you could always check your garage for left over paint!

7. the puke orange indoor/outdoor carpeting is a nice touch nt

12. That's the big tell of age

Carpeting in the kitchen! I had it once too, what a dumb idea.

9. I Need Sunglasses to Look at That Picture

Blinders might be better.

Well, I grew up with Harvest Gold appliances. Ugh.

10. I think my mother had that microwave!

It was just like that, built in and above the stove, and it was huge! It didn't have one of those turntables in it, so it would fit a 9x14 inch pan, no problem! After a lot of years it finally stopped working and the repair guy said it couldn't be fixed. It's now used for storing pans. That was the first microwave I knew and they definitely don't make them like that anymore.

And my mother had all Frigidaire appliances, fridge, stove, washer and dryer - and they were all a light pink, her favorite color!

11. remember when

When we moved into our house in 1972 the whole house was olive green.

The people who had the house previously won a new kitchen on "Let's Make A Deal", lol.

So the whole kitchen, the carpet was olive green shag along with the living room drapes and the exterior of the house, why not?

It took us several years, but we finally got rid of all of it!

Thx
