Here's the way the 1975 kitchen looked - some of us remember, some of us are trying to recreate the 70's through our thrift purchases, whatever, it's fun to look back - all these pictures are from my Eaton's Fall and Winter Catalogue, 1975 - Eaton's was a grand old Canadian department store, sadly, it's no more... I'm linking with Rednesday and Share Your Cup Thursday today. As always, click on a picture for a closer look...

All you had to do was order your warm birch veneer cupboards from the catalogue |
 |
I didn't know anybody that had a smooth top stove back then, I didn't even know they made them. I think this would have been a very high class item - it was twice the price of a regular stove. What fun to have a red stove!! |
 |
Our first dishwasher was "Coppertone" |
 |
Order your refrigerator in white, avocado or harvest gold |
 |
No 70's kitchen would be complete without a nice cafe set! |
 |
I always wished Mom and Dad would buy a swivel set, I wanted to spin around, we just had one like the upper right. |
 |
Vinyl tablecloths in wonderful colors and patterns |
 |
You could order this set of dishes for $6 a month |
 |
$49.95 for a 40 piece chip and crack resistant English dinnerware set |
 |
Blue, amber or green - I think we had some glassware in the green |
 |
Cutlery really hasn't changed much... |
 |
How about some Spice o' Life or Butterfly Gold ? |
 |
Mom had a brown set with mushrooms - she used those for years..... |
 |
Look at that apple cannister set.. |
 |
Blenders were big and bulky.. |
 |
I just bought my first toaster oven the other day!If you were busy in the kitchen in 1975, you might have been dancing around the kitchen to Lady Marmalade - it's the only hit song from that year that I could find that was kitchen related. I can honestly say my Mother was not listening to Lady Marmalade!!! |
