A Shout Out To The 1960's Ranch

There is a Suburb called Carperter Addition. All of the houses are ranches; somewhat like Utopia.

Many of these houses have been "21st-century-tweaked". They look nice; however, I worry about these houses; do they miss the good ole days too? Do they long to be liberated? How do they feel when their once "wall of glass" is replaced by French Doors. I fantasize about riding my bike down June Street shouting.. "It will be okay, our children will restore you." ( You know super 60's chic houses will be all the rage in 20 years.) Until then, here is a thought. If you aren't ready for a 60's revival because you may have already lived it and you are itching to tweak your already existing ranch style casa:

How Modern Is My Modern Kitchen?

Bob is "thinking about" embarking on a new kitchen design for the home I grew up in. I was looking through my design magazines for inspiration (because my creativity has petered out), and I realized how wonderful his kitchen, featuring the Frigidaire Flair, referenced above, is. I will try and post photos of the actual house and kitchen...however; until then, I am sure you will have no problem visualizing it because so many of us grew up in similar 1960's ranch style houses-- one story, brick, 2 car car garage, entry hall, formal living, den, sliding-glass doors leading to the patio.. Back to the dreamy Fridgidaire combinataion double oven and stove... It was featured on Bewitched, and I knew by watching reruns in the 70's that we must have been on to something.

At any rate as I close... how did I go from super-glam-post-modern-roots to this 1920's service style kitchen ?
