1. Electric stoves SUCK - fuck that noise.

I'll pass.

[trof]

10. balderdash...GASIST!

I've cooked on electric stoves my entire life.
No complaints from me, and no complaints from the eaters.
Gas stoves give you a small flame in the middle of your pan, or a BIG flame in the middle of your pan.
Electric stoves give EVEN heat across the whole bottom surface.
:-)

13. Humbug

You can't adjust the heat instantly with electric stoves. No use for them.

[kentauros]

28. You can with an induction stove

and you can set the temperature to an exact amount. Perfect for candy-making :D

2. What were you doing in my house?

:o

[MissMarple]

3. Forty years ago, maybe. Oh, please make the harvest gold go away!

[petronius]

26. Yeah, seriously! Where's the avocado?

[LynzM]

40. Seriously.

I prefer it. :)

[sarge43]

43. And the Burnt Pumpkin?

[liberaltrucker]

4. As long as there's food, why not?

:)

The decor does suck, tho.

:shrug:

5. Ooooooo pretty!

I love love love old kicthen design. :loveya:

[kentauros]

29. Then you'll need to watch this instructional video:

A Lady's Guide to Throwing a Party

[Mari333]

44. hah!

its not that far off!

[kentauros]

6. So long as there's plenty of counter space, it makes no difference to me.

I've cooked in 111-year old kitchen with a big six-burner wood-fired stove in August no less and still produced decent quality breads :D

It's too bad they didn't keep the modern look to the upper cabinets, too. They look out of place and in contrast to the lower ones...

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

7. Simply horrendous

the color scheme, the lack of counter space, the ugly trim around the top. No thanks!

[trof]

8. Is that...Harvest Gold?

I preferred Avocado.

[AsahinaKimi]

9. Compared to this...

I would take it in a minute!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. No, but I'd happily take the assuredly dull chef's knife to my wrists and saw away until death.

[CreekDog]

12. The 70's barfed all over it

:hide:

14. Absolutely - have you seen the size of kitchens in apts on the east coast?

[david13]

15. Yeller is not my favorite color, but I'm always hungry. What are we cooking,

that makes the dif for me.

16. All those appliances likely still work today.

They don't build anything worth a shit any more.

[carlyhippy]

17. Where is the housewife, decked out in a pretty dress, apron, heels and pearls?

holding the plate with the green jello salad fresh out of the copper zodiac jello mold????

[OffWithTheirHeads]

37. She's currently starring in Julie and Julia.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. I wish mine were that nice.

I actually do have a "harvest gold" gas stove (with some of the knobs missing). The rest of my kitchen is even more hideous, and much smaller.

[carlyhippy]

19. Have you ever watched game show network when they play the old Lets Make a Deal?

Kitchen appliances as prizes in Harvest Yellow, Brown, and....ack...avocado green!!!! I love to watch the old shows, the big prize was an AMC Gremlin.....with A/C!!!!!!!

[Odin2005]

20. Yuck, Icky colors!

:puke:

[Kali]

21. looks a HELL of a lot cleaner than mine - sure!

plus I bet the damn oven works.

[swimboy]

22. Oh, yeah. All the time!

[Arugula Latte]

41. Oooh! I bet they made that with celery flavored jello!

:woohoo:

[madamesilverspurs]

23. Gladly!

My current kitchen is so small I have to go out into the hallway to turn around. No counter space. So, yeah, I'd take it in a heartbeat!

[dugaresa]

24. never, electric stoves suck.

[tainted_chimp]

25. Oh yeah.

:headbang:

27. I love those old vintage stoves with a second oven over the top instead of a microwave.

We had one when I was growing up and it was fanfuckingtastic, even if it was that ghastly harvest gold color.

Honestly with a little paint and a swap to a gas cooktop, I wouldn't mind it.

[LostInAnomie]

30. I grew up with a kitchen like that.

[krispos42]

31. Looks like my place, actually

The place I'm living in now was built in the mid-70's. The current owners (not me) bought it back in the mid-90's and with a herd of kids and grandkids, they never bothered to update the place.

Lemme put it this way... the bathroom sinks and toilets match the cabinets, and the wallpaper near the ceiling in the picture matches what is on the bathroom walls.

34. How in the hell do Google Maps get a photo of MY kitchen!?!? n/t

[MissMillie]

35. needs more counter space

then again, most kitchens do

[hippywife]

36. I will cook in any kitchen

except one that has an electric range. I can, but I won't. :hi:

[Tikki]

38. Looks like an early 'open concept' kitchen...

All the rage these days.

39. You can't cook in a kitchen without granite countertops

and stainless steel appliances.

[Arugula Latte]

42. Not to mention, you need an "outdoor kitchen" in your backyard.
