Kitchens (1960-65)

This week I thought I'd continue my visual history of mid-century interior design and focus on the early '60s (1960-65).

The swinging '60s is my favorite decade mainly due to the films, music, art and cultural revolution that took place but I also love '60s design. Here's some examples of fabulous '60s era kitchens borrowed from old magazines.

  2. Woah, where are those stoves that stick out with the glass front ovens? Have you ever seen one? I would LOVE that in my little house!

  3. I think you're referring to an old GE stove. You might be able to find one at antique shops, garage sales, salvage yards, ebay, etc.

  4. Sewing Geek might be referring to those Frigidaire Flairs - the ones where the cooktop pulls out and the oven doors swing up. I have one of the smaller, single-oven variety and I LOVE it. Just search for "1960 Frigidaire Flair" on eBay or Craigslist, they pop up for sale pretty regularly. People usually ask $150 - $200 for them.

    Bit of trivia - Samantha in the 1960s "Bewitched" tv series had one!

  5. Thank you so much for posting these pictures. I am remodeling my 1960's 10x12 kitchen and as my house was built in 1960, I am trying to keep it consistent with the home's time period. Would you be open to answering a few questions about my choices? I would greatly appreciate it.
