I saw this stove at Stuckey's while we were shopping for a microwave earlier this week and it brought back a flood of memories. Not because I've ever owned a big six burner stove, but because of the color choices.
Notice the colors across the top of the range. You can get this wonderful six burner stove in six different colors and I have lived with most of them. Black is what we have now, and I like it. Yellow (you certainly remember Harvest Gold?) is what I had for 25 years before I remodeled the kitchen in the last house I owned. I must admit I've never had dark blue or bright red appliances, although I did have a bright red toaster. But orange was a dominant color in my Ohio house. Actually, in that house the kitchen counter tops were bright orange and the appliances were brown. I think they called the color copper but it was brown. So seventies. There is a high school here in Fort Wayne, built in the 70s, whose colors are brown and orange. I actually really liked that kitchen. It was very bright and cheerful. White was the color of the appliances in my apartment, my last home before moving here. Not very exciting but they worked. In case you're wondering, our new kitchen will be in very neutral colors, clean, serene, and not easily identifiable with any particular decade, although it will look NEW.
