I don't know what the formal color name , but it's not avocado, harvest gold, or copper tone. :-)

I'm not sure what changed, as stuff in the early 70s is cool, but starting around 75 it seems people gave up on design. The furniture gets really chunky. It's that really heavy pseudo-Mediterranean stuff. I've been reading a book on that era and I suspect the issues of the day influenced the design (or lack of). |

You have my sympathy. I remember New Mexico still being like that in the late 90s. Albuquerque struck me as beige--period. EVERYTHING looked the same. Variations on beige. House paint, dirt, mountains, fields. Kinda depressing.
But the ducks and geese thing is somehow worse. My mom did the same thing. Took her a good 10 years to get over it. |

Yeah, whatever happened to the stove? LOL.
Allen - me too, would enjoy seeing what you designed..like Gansky1, I love lighting. It all started with Artemide or some other photo of hand-blown lamps in the 1960's. My first lamp-inspirations were 3 Laurel Lamps, $25 and $30 in brand new 1967 dollars. Two survived and are still used. It seems that good lighting gets the low or no end of the budget. Lighting- another long thread, so back to the stove. |

Not sure how long Poppy was around, but in '77 it became Terra Cotta, an unshaded version. |

A beautiful RSE36SP I had this with the Ceramatop cooktop and a complete set washer,dryer,dishwasher,Tiych N Cook range,trash compactor and three door frig. W/ the entertanementcenter . I got them off the huge boat owned by the Finklesteins, owners of IHOP. The wife hated the color and they replaced all with the stainless steel KitchenAid appliances I sold them when I was at Incredible Universe in Ft Lauderdale. The only thing I didn't like was the black glass range front. That would have looked much better in white because the cooktop was white and they would have complemented each other. All were in perfect condition. Rarely used. In fact, thewasher,dryer and range still had the shipping stuff in them along with free Tide sample,coupons and Downy and Cascade coupons. Great find. Miss them a lot. These photos are my LGs and my Miele Touchtronic. I'll record cycles so you can see more clearly how great these gems operate now that I figured out how to send photos and videos. You all will finally see pictures of where I live and where I hang out here. Aloha.
