33. MW Washer and Dryer were built by Westinghouse Electric, Mansfield Oh. Where I worked for 22 years ...

I'm still use my Westinghouse version, of the model in the ad above ...

64. Now, I buy Maytag.

Made tright here in Ohio!

28. Harvest gold.

I had the washer and dryer.

[enid602]

37. On second thought...

I think maybe Aztec gold was the color of the shag carpeting they were hawking in those years.

[True Blue American]

63. I had brown on the carpet. An avocado dreen fridge.

Now everything is light or Stanley’s. My Kenmore range is electronic. Not a button in sight.

2. Avacado green

Ive actully toyed with the idea of making the most tackiest, depressing bathroom in the world

38. 50's

In my last house I had the Jack and Jill bathroom off the master where the Jack side had a blue bath/tub combo, and the Jill side had the pink. Floor and separate shower stalls were terraza. Vanities were Arizona ash that tapered inward toward the floor. Very 50’s. Looked all over for parts so I wouldn’t have to replace.

9. I can only speak for myself.

I really like Terrazzo floors. There's something unique about the look but I don't believe I would enjoy cleaning that type of flooring.


Shhhh....keep it the down low!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. Terrazzo is great. We had it throughout a shopping center I managed.

[dameatball]

18. Same here. Grew up with terrazzo and almost bought a mid-modern this summer that had beautiful refinished terrazo.

[ms liberty]

36. I thought I was the only one. They were ubiquitous in my childhood and youth

In Florida. I love terrazzo. If I ever build a house, it will have terrazzo floors. Heated and cooled terrazzo floors. It's a central part of my lottery dream house ideas fantasy. Easier for dogs, and if you don't want a high gloss on them, not that much work; not really much more than a tile floor.

[Niagara]

42. You're not the only one.

That's good to know that terrazzo isn't that much work.

15. Are these new cannabis strains?

17. Bronze,

though I like avocado green almost as much.

20. There was also a Poppy Red that was a popular contrast color.

My folks had Poppy Red formica countertops to go with their Harvest Gold refrigerator and wall-mounted phone.

This sounds ghastly but it was actually very pretty, for the time.

22. ☺️

[rogerballard]

21. Turquoise

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. 🤗

[CTyankee]

43. Could be stunning but offset with lots of white.

[rogerballard]

47. I agree

Turquoise is my favorite color

[3catwoman3]

59. I would totally love to have...

…turquoise appliances.

[Glorfindel]

24. Harvest Gold.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. 🤗

[underpants]

27. Isn't it usually gold silver and bronze?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

45. 😵‍💫

[TreasonousBastard]

30. Green is seen as calming, and probably is...

so is fitting for kitchens and bathrooms.

White is always a secure option.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[dweller]

31. This was in several kitchens in my life

35. Funny Story -

My friend arrived as the first guest at a baby shower. She didn’t know the hostess so tried to make small talk while they sat in the kitchen. She commented that she liked her yellow refrigerator and the hostess replied with, “It’s WHITE”. My friend had foot-in-mouth disease a lot.

41. Avocado appliances in my parent's house.

Which made sense, as my dad was growing avocados hoping to make it a second career after he retired from his union job with a decent pension.

Alas, that entire rural community was obliterated by mini-ranches and McMansion development, so my parents decided to sell out (probably too soon), take the money, and run. Little remains of the place I knew.

44. Weed? Or kitchens from the 1970s?

60. Very elegant and stylish. Great look. Sadly

I wouldn't make the height requirement...

There was a house we looked at a few years ago. It was what some call stickbuilt.
It was ca. 1910, visually interesting but quite vertical, so to speak. I think even my husband at 5' 10" found the kitchen cabinets "too damn high"
These are lovely pictures and I envy the uncluttered look and life, which is another
requirement I wouldn't make...

[louslobbs]

56. My mom had the avocado green stove and

the avocado green side by side refrigerator which had these long wooden door handles and finally, the avocado green washer and dryer which had fake wood stickers behind the knobs. I also remember a gold, avocado, and brown linoleum floor…..ugh!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[malthaussen]

61. Had a harvest gold refrigerator that was still working after 40 years...

... the matching stove had been replaced, because the apartment complex switched from gas to electricity.
