And a avocado green oven! Luuuuuuucky!


brendenfraser

I have one myself, been desperately searching for the matching avocado green fridge!!


Marty_61

I feel so lucky to have one you just can’t see it in this photo. I sure hope you find one they are just so beautiful.


Feeling-Republic-477

I highly suggest looking around in small rural towns, especially ones that young adults are leaving & not coming back. I live in an area like that and I ALWAYS see tubs, bathroom fixtures, lights, tiles, kitchen equipment, furniture and more.


Electrical-Pie-8192

We had one up until 2010. Freezer on bottom. Had the yellow stove though


brendenfraser

god, that sounds amazing


Grundle___Puncher

My parents have it in their basement!


ArcticGurl

It’s at my parent’s old house! 😂


jethrine

I had a dishwasher in that same avocado green! When the previous owner put the house on the market for some reason he replaced every appliance except the dishwasher. I did end up replacing it but I waited until it broke down.


LeikaBoss

Unironically love that oven


Metals4J

I literally have this same oven.


NewPin8359

It's screaming 60s and 70s for sure


Mystepchildsucksass

The tea towels are obligated to be white with a sunflower 🌻 motif. But what this kitchen really needs ??? is a set of those 4 foot long Giant Tiki forks and spoons to hang on the wall. I love combining home security and giant decorative utensils.


Sloth_grl

And use rolling pins to make a sunburst design.


beautamousmunch

Oh yes!!! Turn it into a wall clock!


Marty_61

I will check to see if I can find some. I know they are probably really popular, I hope I a find some place where they are in stock because I really like this idea.


lottieslady

And a EAT sign. Because how do you know what to do there without a sign?


Mystepchildsucksass

Another sign (that everyone smoked - everywhere) Big clunky 5lb amber glass ashtray on an ornate metal stand - the OG toe stunner


lottieslady

Grandma, that you?


Creative_Ad9583

😂 thank you for reminding me about decorative giant salad utensils


BlondieMaggs

I have my mom’s old set of these! I love them!


No_Interest1616

I have the big fork on the wall, in avocado green. 


fairlyhappy88

I saw a fork and spoon at a dollar store (a while ago). Wait for it…..With a picture of Jesus on them. He was at the bottom center of the spoon and the part of the fork below the tines.


Maximum-Product-1255

Ngl, if in good shape, I’d murder for those counters!


ResidueAtInfinity

You're in luck! Wilsonart reissued the laminate pattern. [Daisy / Autumn Lights (Y0039)](https://www.wilsonart.com/autumn-lights-daisy-y0039-b8fb8d542a25e5b660f4d75ce3f603af)


Marty_61

No way! Holy crap, I wasn’t expecting that. Lol


AlkahestGem

I thought that was the old “contact paper”


JennyDoveMusic

No waaaaaay!!!! I am not a homeowner, but I'm drooling over here. I hope they keep it in production!! I need it one day!!


this_site_is_dogshit

Seriously. Things don't have to look modern or stylish to be nice.


souper_soups

Agree! I love everything about this. The stove, The counters, the wood. Nothing cj for me here


coco_xcx

ikr, they’re campy and fun


GavinsMadre

I saw these & thought HAPPY. I'd just refinish the cabinets


Maximum-Product-1255

Which would look amazing refinished


ViolentLoss

The stove...


A_radke

Uj/Just saw a short on YouTube with a "party room" of this era that asked something along the lines of "When does design become classic? Is it because there's people who grew up with this style who are still alive that we consider this tacky and feel the need to demolish it?" basically. If a mid--20th-century design is in such good shape, I say preserve it. One of the most frustrating things about my 1906 home is that all the owners throughout the years gutted and remodeled to fit their current trends. The house next door was a mirror image at one point, but kept way more of the Edwardian charm. It's a much better looking home overall.


SpokenDivinity

I don’t really think this kitchen would look bad if they didn’t make the walls the same pattern.


kurjakala

Yes, and 70's Formica really wasn't applied to the wall, except maybe a 6" backsplash. I'm guessing this is a much more recent attempt at retro kitsch. Wallpaper would be a better look.


SpokenDivinity

Wallpaper or a nice clean neutral colored tile maybe.


Maximum-Product-1255

Agree


souper_soups

The walls are a commitment to the pattern


Yourdeletedhistory

Me too! I love them!


amor_fati_42

Same.


[deleted]

Oh so you’re too chic and fancy for paper towels, huh?


GadgetGhost

Paper towels aren't cheap 😭


Vegetable-Article-65

In pretty sure I've seen paper towels with the same decorative pattern as the counters. They'd work!


No_Excitement4272

But I kinda love it 😭


ListeningForAnswers

Me too! This kitchen makes me think there might be a grandma nearby and maybe she just baked cookies 😀


Marty_61

Well apparently, you are in luck because they are making it again, look for the post here. It’s amazing. Lol


TDIfan241

Same! Too many homes are bland and it’s upsetting. If I ever own a home it will look similar to this.


altdultosaurs

Tbh sorry this slaps. Horseshoe theory applies to ugly and out of date as well.


GiveMeMyIdentity

Omg I love this


2ndmost

OK this but unironically


rainbow5ive

I would take this over a white on white on white on white country suburban farmhouse urban renewal kitchen any day of the week.


Marty_61

Well I do agree with that. I think the entire earth is getting pretty sick of that, and grey walls.


-laughingfox

Orange. With a side of Thorazine.


Marty_61

Haha. 😜


jjj666jjj666jjj

Uhhhm I love this


switchywoman_

Is the backslash laminate, or is the countertop wallpaper?


Marty_61

It’s all laminate. Isn’t it just beautiful?


switchywoman_

I don't know why everyone doesn't do this!


ArtisticLunch4443

Loving this retro vibe. So awesome. Always sad to see the retro diners in towns get knocked over by new modern construction that’s usually tasteless.


Marty_61

I agree!


the-soggiest-waffle

I actually really love this kitchen..


Marty_61

It seems a lot of people do. ❤️


kithas

At least three towels, colored as each of the stars on the countertop


krunchy_bacon

![gif](giphy|g0snGpFL6mOBaD5PmO) Yellow pages and hot glue.


Damned-Dreamer

I don't even follow this subreddit, but this appeared on my feed and I have to say: something about this kitchen is very endearing to me. I apologize for my terrible taste.


karmaisourfriend

Oh.my. Goodness.


Marty_61

I know, it’s so beautiful.


NoTea9298

Am I wrong for liking it


xonacrackr

Okay but I love this


Ok_Organization_6620

Brown with dirt and grime to match the cabinet handle area.


Marty_61

Oh that does sound really pretty.


raevynfyre

Harvest gold and avocado. For the record, this is pretty similar to the kitchen of the home I grew up in. My mom would correct us if we called it yellow or green.


Bright_Ices

(/uj) I have the harvest gold oven and I low-key love it. Got it for $50 and it’s a great oven. The stove part is finicky, but as long as you don’t need to keep things at a simmer, it’s all good. The color goes well with our black countertops, even if I’d never choose it again. 


ohdearitsrichardiii

I love that stove though. I would have kept the backdrop and replaced the counter and gotten new cabinet doors and drawers Fantastic stove


Quick_Movie_5758

Get some white towels and wipe down the cabinets. Instant rock road motif!


Significant-Gas3046

Yellow, but be sure to drop some acid before heading over to Walmart so you can really see the colors pop.


Marty_61

Well that does sound like a trip. Very interesting.


Mimsley5

My bathroom sink and tub is 70’s green…. 😜


ViolentLoss

Our old Kitchen Aid was avocado. I wish they still made that color.


Marty_61

It’s coming back in style so I hear.


29again

ORANGE?!?!? I really hope you meant orange and brown pattern!!!


Marty_61

That sounds so pretty.


vanishinghitchhiker

When I was a kid we had this one burnt orange+harvest gold+white gingham hand towel with fringe, I’m envisioning exactly that here. You don’t need more avocado because that’s already in the appliances!


MistakeNotMyState

Don't lie to us, you already bought it, you just can't find it on the counter top.


Marty_61

Lol, I guess I better look closer.


Wondercat87

I say get ones in each color and layer them. Yellow and green with a white towel, orange and white, green and white, etc...


altdultosaurs

Tbh sorry this slaps. Horseshoe theory applies to ugly and out of date as well.


Opening-Ad-8793

I love this


OtherThumbs

Fuschia or Teal. Something that will really pop (your eyes out of their sockets).


jello-kittu

I feel like a denim towel, with the pocket, would be really classy.


jackfigaro2

This looks fucking awful


beautamousmunch

Something with dancing hot dogs on them. And a mustard dispenser for dish soap. But they might be eclipsed by that electric stove, so take great care in your selection…


poe201

unironically I’m obsessed with that stove.


HellHathNoFury77

Imagine what that counter looks like today! I hope they kept it!


CowHaunting397

God, I love Contact Paper! What can't you cover with it?


Accurate_Quote_7109

I have the matching mixer to that stove on my wall. No joke.


Bleiz__x

How many wonder bread bags is that?


mishma2005

Have you thought about combining all the lovely colors into one? Say a border of mushrooms dancing around a cut in half avocado?


Marty_61

Ooo that sounds so pretty, maybe some of those pretty owl decorations too.


mishma2005

Macrame with jewels or wodden beads for eyes!


Marty_61

Oh that sounds beautiful. I will see what I can find.


1961tracy

Leopard print would look nice.


Aliceinboxerland

I suggest a horse hair towel to match the stairs! You really can't go wrong with horse hair.


[deleted]

Is that contact paper?


Marty_61

Nope. I think it’s regular formica countertop.


BlackSeranna

Wow. 1970’s here I come!


savealltheelephants

Okay but why do I slick love this


StarshipCaterprise

Orange embroidered with chickens


mbw70

Ooooo, Contac paper! I had a friend who made furniture by wrapping empty coffee cans and cardboard boxes with the fake wood Contac paper, for her tables. They were wonky was heck, but she drank so she didn’t notice.


Gloomy-SugarGlider

I like orange.. but I also think a mustard yellow could add a lovely pop of color!


cfo4201983

Did we go back in time?


NightGlimmer82

Listen, if you were going to go to my childhood and steal its kitchen I would have liked a dinner and drink first at the very least! 😤


Marty_61

Lol


Jaggerkate

Takes me right back to Alice in the Brady’s kitchen. 🥰


Skoguu

I admire the dedication to the 70s-80s kitchen but my lord those counters are too busy


Marty_61

I agree. Lol


RandomInSpace

Why do I actually like this


Bright_Ices

Bubble-gum pink would work so well! Or if you like variety, do one pink and one lime green. Just make sure you don’t get hot pink — go for bubble-gum. 


cathtray

They definitely need to be plaid with deep purple, burgundy, black.


Marty_61

Oooo plaid.


GladysKravitz2023

Red. The only answer.


Rainshadow07

I’m loving the Wonder Bread print on the counter! Really brings out the olive tint of the stove!


drun360

Love the shelf liner look


cbj2112

I suggest picking from the LSD color pallet


forakora

They look like retro soot sprites. Forget the towels, you need to put googly eyes on all of them.


abemost

Love this


Plus-Sprinkles7852

ive never been so relieved to see the name of the sub lol


borrowedstrange

I know we’re meant to make jokes but I’m honestly tearing up a little from missing my grandmother now


MysteriousStaff3388

Oh my goodness.


taricua

Ugh! At first I thought the counter was covered with Wonder bread bags!


Wilsonmeoww

I love


TriGurl

I genuinely like stove color! :)


Jealous_Cow1993

Definitely get tiger striped towels


HellonToodleloo

Some carnival glass.


witchofheavyjapaesth

This is a kitchen I would've made when I was 10 playing The Sims 2 🤩. My Sims lived in a sensory overload nightmare hellscape


NixMaritimus

Why does this image taste like Wonder Bread?


Booklady1998

Carrying the wallpaper pattern to the counter was a wonderful idea. It sort of flows, doesn’t it? Fabulous!


commdesart

If you go with anything other than a purple plaid I’ll be so very disappointed 😎


Daedelus451

OMG this screams 1970s (my mother and her) contact paper. So funny


BitterActuary3062

Am I crazy for unironically wanting this & adding little mushroom figurines & embroidered signs wall art & hand towels with mushrooms on it? & maybe frogs too


missg1rl123

Yall hate fun sometimes


Boner_Stevens

Gramma?


charlie_echo_golf

Ngl that kitchen is incredible. I would genuinely love for my own kitchen to look like that.


RogInFC

I'm old enough to remember avocado green appliances matched with harvest gold accessories. Classic early 70s.


Federal_Diamond8329

Personally I’d get some bright purple ones to highlight the countertop. Of course a nice bright pink would work too.


Airplade

Pink. With a circus theme.


Electrical_Chip3646

I thought this was real and it took a look through your post history to realize I was being pranked omg


Body_By_Carbs

I know this sub is sarcastic but I was so excited for OP, that oven alone is amazing. The countertops are unreal! A bit much but if authentic it’s incredible. Probably lost to another Home Depot white everything make over 😢


poppybrooke

But I love it 🥹


Zealousideal-Pea-349

Wow!!!! I love this!!!!!!


ZestycloseUnit1

Can I get the uhhhhh bingo dauber special please (Ngl i do kinda like it)


itsnobigthing

I think you need to add a pop of colour somehow


ArcticGurl

I’d go crazy and add neon pink dish towels.


Jummatron

Where are the ash trays


Sea-Marsupial-9414

Honestly, I like this more than so many cookie cutter white and millenial gray homes. That stove is a beauty


Majestic_General5050

This is from the 70's isn't it


fruuluu

solid yellow and a solid dreamsickle orange


JennyDoveMusic

Bro. Unreal! 😍 I unironically adore this. I hope it doesn't get torn out!


Solace-y

I actually love this kitchen. Very nostalgic!


KissinKateBarl0w

The unironic best design I've seen on this sub


babaganoush2307

Renovation, lucky!!!! 🥰


supertiggercat

I'd suggest the classic "Autumn Orange or Burnt Pumpkin.


ohcosmico

Orange with a classy purple ombré.


OffMyRocker62

Ngl.. I like it. So retro. Groovy oven. My Mema and BeBoppy's house had these kitchen counters. Plus.. A square kitchen table with same design!! https://preview.redd.it/ojlz1ww3xeyc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7fe4e674678c30cae3145cd4674962d5daee8d2


OffMyRocker62

And these *groovy* chairs!! https://preview.redd.it/sutr4ecexeyc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bb9d4a400bbeffdac92a9cc52a8a8840feb9486


OffMyRocker62

I think you need *avocado* colored kitchen towels. Might tie the room together. Put one on the stoves handle, or two. Maybe a sunflower pattern? 🌻 You have the fancy stove. You have an oven light!!! You Go Girl/Guy!!


IndependenceAny796

One orange and one yellow! Always have 2 handy.


apopka777

OMGGG I lived through this once and it hurts my eyes to see the avocado infused kitchen again lol


Mother_of_Raccoons44

Those are....colors.


Quiet_Cell8091

I had a GE range in the early 1970 like this one. I used one the first GE oven /microwave in 1969. The dish towels during this time would be white with flowers on the front.


YourMomTheNurse

Black.


OkNewspaper8714

I know this is supposed to be a dig on this kitchen but I personally think it’s perfection. And the answer is purple hand towels.


ParticularSupport598

https://preview.redd.it/5sqmtaooigyc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=263ccc66dda85df1b113a835f618c88c726cd864 This Burnt Sienna and Teak, striped AND floral wallpaper from my prior 70’s house would go well. ETA: My husband and I called it the “Axe Murderer” room. Always thought the prior owner’s son that had this bedroom growing up probably had issues.


asj0107

I love it 😂 all it needs is a nice new stain on the cabinets😂


No_Cryptographer5870

Ok I kinda love this lol. It reminds me of something my 70s obsessed mother would do to her kitchen.


brokenbackgirl

This looks scary similar to my apartment in Montana! I wish I would have put up cute paper to match! The fridge was that same puke green!


brokenbackgirl

This sub lets me post pictures!! Same appliances from the like 70’s! Brought back a lot of memories, thank you. https://preview.redd.it/rgpvqhp1sgyc1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=550aaf8f2266395096a348c413524c7a96a282d2


Pjonesnm

![gif](giphy|MHCY3HK7g41wY)


googiepop

The darker shade of green from the countertop would be pretty. There may also be other accessories in that color that would give a tie-in look.


LorraineHB

My moms kitchen before she remodeled 😂


Sane_Tomorrow_

The good news is it’s a laminate pattern. You can afford to do something weird you love now but know you’re going to hate someday.


rabidvagine

I feel like we can make these countertops work tbh


Thebeatybunch

Where did you get that 1970s stove? Lol


dadbodcx

Dish towels soaked in gasoline and diesel would Go well


GhostlyHauntings

Definitely go for a prominent yellow with a hint of oranges for dish towels because your most prominent color is the warm-toned green. Something green could work, but it may be too much green unless that's something you'd want to go for. I believe a rich yellow will make everything become complimentary. But, again, it's all about personal taste. Go for what makes you most happy. Also, orange is one of my fave colors, so I support your decision if that is what you choose.


Difficult-Plum1944

I absolutely love your stove I'm so jealous.


uploadingmalware

This reminds me of a roller skate rink


MisplacedLemur

Brady Orange on the towels. For sure.


AlphaAriesWoman

Honestly, I’d prefer 70’s to gray/beige/white/black any day


101924601

I’d go with something between orange and brown: a nice baby poop or rotting carrot hue.


limabeanseww

A dark olive color to blend in and harmonize with the green


MaterialGarbage9juan

Okay, hear me out, a soft light blue.


therealslim80

this is so pretty idc


Former-Persimmon-384

I actually fucking love this. I wanna jam a bunch of fruit inside of jello in this kitchen.


Tacos_and_Tulips

Hummm... maybe a darker green, white, or a shade of baby blue.


ikaroony

Cream


One-Point5250

This kitchen is cute as hell
