Interesting, though some of the comments in the text with the pictures was more than snarky.
Don't forget to go to the appliance section for more picts. and snark. CLICK HERE TO GO TO MattL's LINK |

There were some beautiful pieces of cookware like the Copco teakettle and the Club Colorcast skillet from Waterford Ireland. |

Some of those 70s kitchens had carpet. Sometime in the mid-1970s my mother had short-pile burnt orange kitchen carpet installed.
It only lasted a few years and was it pretty disgusting in certain spots when it was removed.
It was a 1905 big farmhouse-type kitchen with a decorative metal ceiling. I was too young when the carpet was installed to really notice the difference it made. But when it was removed I couldn't believe how much louder (back to hearing every clink of the silverware) and colder the kitchen seemed. So from a hygienic standpoint it was a disaster, but from an ambiance standpoint I kind of liked it.
Anybody else do an ill-advised stint with kitchen carpet?

When I bought my house in '91 there was patterned brown/gold indoor/outdoor carpeting in the kitchen and dining room. It was ugly but warm on the feet. I finally removed it about 15 years later. It was a beast to remove as it had been glued to the subfloor.

Now you have reminded me of a time back in the 70's when we had the most awful dark brown really rough fibred carpet tiles fitted in the kitchen and like you said makes it all nice and quiet but oh boy when spilt anything like flour or sugar you could vac it every day 2x a day and still it would hold onto the spillage until you picked up the offending tile and washed it in the bath with a scrubbing brush needless to say they only stayed a while went back to Lino it was much easier to clean :)
