I love the Bewitched stove! I want a blue one for my kitchen!!!
I had a neighbor whose house was built in the early 1960s that had one of those Frigidaire ovens. I just love the way the door lifts up so you don’t have to bend over the door to reach the food inside. If that design ever made a come back, I would have one in a heartbeat.
Until you use it for a while, then you find out all the problems it had. I couldn’t wait to replace it. Maybe that’s why they don’t make it anymore.
@@july8xx What problems? Just curious. I think it looks quite practical.
@@flowerfaeri ,
I've never used one, but right away I can see that trying to lift a 20 lb. turkey over boiling pots might not be the easiest. I believe I heard that the doors could fall down onto your arms. And, it seems like the back burners are partially under the stove, even with the cooktop pulled all the was out.
My Mum used to tell me all about the Iceman and what an event that was every time he showed up! And ever since I saw the first episode of Bewitched, I have wanted that stove that Samantha had. And I STILL want it! 💜💜💜 thank you for these videos!
We had an icebox. I remember the iceman. He wore a slick black raincoat and hat. He carried these huge blocks of ice carried using giant tongs. I would watch him put the ice into our icebox.
My parents got married in 1942, my Mom was 20 and Dad was 30, and she said she was sitting on the front steps of their apartment and the ladies were complaining about the ice mans service and they asked my young mom how she was doing and she said " oh we have a to refrigerator". They all looked at her and asked how she got one, (WWII was on and you really couldn't get one, plus most people then didn't have one). My young mom told them " I married it". She grew up with one, my grandfather brought one home in the 1920s , the type with the motor on top
The fold down ironing board, depending on how it was placed, made wonderful extra counter space for lightweight things while cooking! Or where you could sit the oscillating fan and pan with the block of ice frozen in a waxed cardboard 1/2 gallon milk carton on a blistering day. Put pan in front of the fan and blow air over the ice…
The Hoosier cabinet was no joke. Old kitchens had no counter space- none! The kitchen table was always covered with everything and had to be cleared before Dad came home. Never fast enough. I would wish for the wall cabinet ironing board. Ironing always in a pile on my bedroom floor, (since no one else would ever iron their clothes) the board and iron getting knocked over. Only thing that would have topped this episode would have been a Murphy bed - all that space! Try sharing a 11’x12’ room with 3 sloppy sisters. Every square inch mattered. I will never live with anyone else again.
My husband made me a wall cabinet for my sewing room and the knob is an Indian head nickel which is my favorite piece of money. My first inquiry of money was the buffalo nickel. It was my daily milk 🥛 money ❤ good memories
I rented an apartment with a Murphy bed in college. When it was down there was no room for anything else. When it was up the stuff crammed along the walls could be drug back to be used. Not as nice as you think for everyday. Having one in a room to turn it into a guest bedroom occasionally is good, making it a multi-purpose room.
I love that oven! I remember one Christmas bending to get the turkey out and my back went out and I couldn't get up! Dinner almost ended up on the floor!
They were great ideas that I wish I had again.
Great content. I would love one of those overhead cupboard fridges! So convenient.
I want wall mounted fridge cabinets!
Me too. Just makes more sense!
That range is brilliant and space saving!
My Mom had the merry mushrooms canisters. Ahhh memories 😞
Ice boxes were not a flop. Or canisters. I wish they still made wall cabinets fridges though.
I still have and use canisters. I find them very practical.
A friend's parents had that type of cabinet refrigerators in their nice house in the 60s
Whenever i see things like this I'm always reminded of a comment made years ago: "I had no idea when my husband carried me over the threshold he was actually taking me to work!"
My mom's mom had a pull down ironing board in the kitchen with a small door that opened to expose it, the one she had in her home Which was built in 1946 was shown towards the end of the segment. The kitchen breakfast table sat in the same place and eventually they cut the board down to act as a permanent shelf for the toaster, a perfect spot right at the table, the two shelves inside held her orange juice glasses, was very cute and great way to reuse the space.
I had central vac at my last home. It came with the home which was built in 64.
The hose was heavy to carry up and down stairs. Also hard to store, so kept in the basement.
It was powerful. Did a great job. Also easy to empty the canister.
However, it was installed in the house before furniture, so could not reach every corner in some rooms.
If I was rich enough to build a house from scratch, I would have one. But a dedicated closet for winding the hose and accessories on each floor.
Each floor would have a hose.
And enough outlets so you can always reach everywhere. And one of those openings for when you are sweeping.
When we sold the house 6 years ago the vacuum still worked great. We did half to replace the hose. Bought one 10 feet longer. That was about 80 dollars.
I have no idea how much it cost in 64 to have it installed. But we never had it repair. Just the new hose. So in the long run it was a real bargain.
I inherited my great grandmother's Hoosier cabinet. I used it as she did.
I am green with envy.
My mom went cozy crazy. She made quilted cozies for her toaster, mixer, teapots, everything. If it sat on the counter or table, she cozied it. My husband joked that if you sat too long in her kitchen, she'd stick a cozy over you.
I always wished my mom had the Sears Merry Mushroom set. She didn't.
Canisters! You're makin' that up! I never hearda sucha thing!
Our neighbor across the street had a turquoise Frigidaire Flair.
We had a neighbor with a wall mounted fridge unit, pink and yellow.
I think the reason they don't have those convenient stoves or cabinets anymore, is because women don't want to spend that much time in the kitchen anymore. Some do, but eveything is just so fast and easy these days. I sure would love to have an oven/stove like that. It would make those holiday meals so much easier.
11.5"x15"x22.5" block of ice weighs 100 lbs? I would have thought that it would have been bigger than that. Ooof, those poor icemen!
"Hoosier Cabinet" has replaced "Niagara Falls" for me. "Hoosier cabinet! Slooowly I turn..."
2:08 I would not mind having this at my kitchen
3:06 and this
6:17 I still have canister in this design
My son had an apartment that still had an icebox built into the kitchen.
How am i 62 and never heard of hoosier cabinets
Cool channel
I own a Hoosier cabinet.
I want one!
Would love one
I was so born in the wrong era 😢
My br9ther has our nana's old hoosier cabinet in his kitchen.
Everything made on the old days were better and stronger, now with the capitalism everything is made waiting for we buy the new one. We never have time to sit and relax always worrying about something that needs be replaced because stopped to work. İ would love to have anything from the old days, from the house to the people behave.
I had a friend who lived in an old apartment building and each flat had its own milk door. Really good idea! The two young women who are carrying the ice are replacing the men who went off to fight in the Great War. As a child I also chased the ice truck to get chunks to suck in the summer. Your videos are wonderful and bring back so many memories of my childhood. In those days you had milk delivery to your home plus bakery delivery, coal, sawdust, beer and other things. No one went to huge grocery stores or malls to buy things. Oh and let's not forget the Watkins man, the Fuller brush man and others who sold items door to door on a regular schedule.
This item was on another channel --- central vacuums are made today, and they are NOT a kitchen item.
It's only mansplaining if it comes from the mansplain region of France, otherwise it's just plain old misogyny
I always wished my mom had the Sears Merry Mushroom set. She didn't.
