I wish companies would bring back appliances with some color. They are so boring nowadays. Regarding the durability of things or appliances built in those days I agree with you. My GE hand mixer is 40 years old and still works perfectly. I love the ceramic containers of that era! Again, so colorful and whimsical. Thank you for another lovely video.
My mom got SO excited when we got our first dishwasher. Not because of the convenience, but because she could change the color panels. Ah the good ol’ days ❤
We had dinner all together every evening and we only had breakfast together on the weekends. Mom usually outdid herself on the weekends with a huge breakfast. During the summer we usually made our own breakfast of cereal. Sometimes a hot cereal was made. We didn’t have a microwave until the 80’s. We didn’t really use it. It was small and took up counter space. Our Mr. Coffee was one that hung on the underside of the top cabinets. We never had a dishwasher. No ice-maker either. We eventually got a popcorn maker but it was more trouble than it was worth. We either did popcorn on the stove or the microwave. Linoleum was very popular in kitchens and bathrooms. One of our homes in the 70’s did have a low pile carpet in the kitchen that we used a carpet sweeper on. Your videos always trigger so many memories!
the '70's was my decade! And eating as a family was done almost every night unless dad was working late which wasn't too often. I remember our first microwave too, it was huge compared to today's version. Plenty of tupperware and harvest gold appliances which worked well! It was a great time to grow up.
We had an orange kitchen with gold appliances and wood cabinets. The floors were linoleum with a bold orange, brown and gold pattern. We ate meals together in the kitchen as a family. Everyone I knew did. Friends all had dinner times to be home or get in trouble! Mom cooked all the meals because my dad hated any convenience foods. As kids it was a treat to get a tv dinner when our parents when out on Saturday nights. We were blessed and I am glad I grew up when I did! My grandpa used slim fast however he put ice cream in it because he thought it tasted terrible. He called it slim slow and cuss about how it didn’t work!
Another popular color for kitchen appliances was copper; I once gifted my parents with a swell copper-colored refrigerator in 1974. Back in the 70s, I rented a small Manhattan apartment which had linoleum flooring in the kitchen; it was a print with a rosy tone. But it was old and the edges curled up; it was a great day when I purchased that apartment and put in tile!
I remember the Woolworths counter with the diet special containing one canned cling peach half, a dollop of cottage cheese and a plain burger patty in a leaf of iceberg lettuce, also, dinners at my house we're in the living room in front of the TV with everyone having their own foldable tv tray with a frozen dinner..
I lived in a little city that still had a Woolworth with a lunch counter in the back. They didn't sell burgers, though, just pop, ice cream, hot dogs, and soft pretzels. I beat the crap of their old pinball machines lol
I gotta say, im partial to the pastels of the 50s and 60s, but i have a soft spot for the avocado and muatard warm colors of the 70s lol. It reminds me of my Grandparents kitchen. Dark cabinets and Green and yellow appliances with metal handles 😂
I lived in a 1970 time capsule trailer for a year. I got flashbacks when I saw the built in oven at 3:05. It worked!! I could roast a turkey in it and everything else.
10:47 I ended up with a bunch of 4cup Pyrex containers without lids and found a set of replacement lids for them in harvest gold, avocado green and burnt orange...they're great lol
18:42 My grandparents did. Meals were eaten together, at the dining table, over 95% of the time. At home breakfast and dinner was eaten at the table as well, usually only with my mom's boyfriend though for breakfast and all of us for dinner.
18:51 yep, that's a typical lunch at my grandparents. Open faced sandwich, Campbell's soup or leftover with a handful of potato chips/veggie sticks. They never bought TV dinners, dinner would be meat, potato/sometimes rice, a cooked vegetable and side salad. If there was dessert it would be a individual ramiken of pudding or a scoop of ice cream with a wafer cooky.
PSS I can say so much about this era lol. I still have one of my parents old Corning ware Pyrex bowls. It’s white with blue floral print. I had my parent’s original burnt orange crockpot for the longest time, but it eventually died 🙁 So I replaced it with a newer one. I am old school. I love the decor from the 1970’s! ❤ And truly loved watching this 😊
Beautiful 🤩 Video as Always I was born in the 70s I miss this so much I think thats why I Love nostalgia so much a chunk of my childhood and seeing the era of nostalgia from when my parents lived as well before I was born i try to keep as much as i can in my life & my children’s life Just Wonderful keep doing these videos brings back memories & happiness from then till now for me. Thank You🙏✨☀️❤️☕️
I grew up on the 70’s granola, natural foods here in Canada (west coast) so I missed all that fun food unless we went to a party! Loved our choc brown fridge too
Laura it is so wierd you posted this. This week I decided to turn my 1950’s aesthetic kitchen into a 1970’s aesthetic lol. I’ve been researching and digging through all my treasures on the attic. The color palette of the 70’s is very earthy and soothing to me.
When we redid our 1929 house we used black and white vinyl flooring in the kitchen. It looked great and added to the vintage feel of the house. The house had modern elements but we kept the essence of a vintage home. I'm sorry we sold it!
My grandparents built their dream retirement home in 1978, changed almost nothing, and we sold it in 2018 with the original kitchen, wall paper, carpet, avocado bathroom with green leaf wallpaper, and floral colour-themed bedrooms with coloured ceilings! Unfortunately the house didnt find a big fan of the 70s and it was gutted and rennovated.
PS We did have vinyl flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. I wish I could remember the colors but I’m sure they were of the Times because my mom was an interior designer.
We could change the color panels on our kitchen cupboards. The pizza wheels were good. I usually had space sticks with Tang for breakfast. We always ate dinner together always at 5:00 pm!
You were discussing Jell-O why don’t you try the lime flavor with cream cheese and add some cherries to it I promise you this one is delicious and it will mellow out the excessive sugar flavor so that it’s balanced out but it’s also creamy 😊😊❤
I did a modified version of the Slimfast diet last year for my 20-year high school reunion. My dress went from being too tight to I hope it doesn't fall off. It was strapless. Chocolate Royale is my favorite flavor.
Some of the flooring needed waxing. I can’t really remember. We had a house built in 1984 and it had the kind you just use hot water with a little soap to clean. Some floors needed stripping I think. I can’t remember the differences between floors that needed wax and those that didn’t.

I agree! I know the smeg ones come In fun colours but they are so $$. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed this one
There are companies but most are from Europe and they are also available for American electronic outlets
18:36 We ate dinner as a family for every night and breakfast on the weekends. It was the cornerstone of my childhood ❤
Awe love that
@@Laurajaneatelier I love it when folks say awe to mean aww. It's awesome!
My mom got SO excited when we got our first dishwasher. Not because of the convenience, but because she could change the color panels. Ah the good ol’ days ❤
I love the 70s aesthetic
Me too
@@nellyy-y me three ☺️
Me, too.
Yes everyone got together for meals
Reminds me of coming home from school and Mom standing cooking in the kitchen. Miss my Mom, miss those days. ❤

I love the 1970s! The food was cleaner back then, at least in the early 70s.
Me too! I love the aesthetic of the 70s

Adore your topics and delivery Laura Jane it’s a pleasure to watch and listen with you.

Lime green counter tops with orange splash backs🎉
I actually love all the brown and gold from the 70’s!
My gran’s kitchen 😂😮

I do enjoy the pastels too
So fun, thx Laura. This brought back a lot of memories of my parents 1970’s kitchen…❤
Thanks for watching

You would have loved the pastel pink bathroom.
9:42 I love crockpots. My friend recently bought me a smaller Hello Kitty one, it holds enough food for multiple meals.
10:47 I ended up with a bunch of 4cup Pyrex containers without lids and found a set of replacement lids for them in harvest gold, avocado green and burnt orange...they're great lol

Thank you for this! I loved it. I remember the kitchen colors so well from when I was very young.
I re-did my kitchen in the 90’s and had vinyl flooring and laminate countertops!
I grew up on the 70’s granola, natural foods here in Canada (west coast) so I missed all that fun food unless we went to a party! Loved our choc brown fridge too

My mother had linoleum which needed polishing in addition to cleaning. Then she changed to vinyl which only needed cleaning.

My moms kitchen was yelllow and white I grew up in those days yay.
Thank you 💚
I love the mushroom 🍄 dishes I found some at a thrift store 😊
I have some too
Lots of old vintage plates and containers etc have lead and cadmium so good idea to be wary. I remember when ding dongs came in foil wrappings !
Vinyl floor very long lasting. But it scratches and the cute designs may fade with years of use specially on high traffic areas. Tile is the best.
You should do a video on the original Weight Watchers
Slow cooker forever!💙
My sunbeam toaster just died on me this year! It used to belong to my parents. We had that toaster for 40+ years.
Been there done that. Once was enough, thanks.

I really enjoyed this! Can you do a video on a peek inside an 80s kitchen?

18:12 😂😂 that is the most oddest looking picture I’ve ever seen
We ate dinner together everyday, though with the TV on, and had Saturday morning pancakes with the cartoons on.
The late seventies had the natural foods movement. Granola became popular
You might want to check Aspic recipes, if your interrested in that funky Jello :P

We had gold appliances. They lasted a long time.
I preferred Bugles, Daisies, & Whistles
Omg lol I remember Slimfast 😊thanks for sharing 😊
Great video❤❤

The slow cooker is all the rage nowadays
