This photo reminds me of a Norman Rockwell painting. I love it.

My sister & brother in law rented a house of that vintage for a couple of years... 850 square feet, and the kitchen was QUITE the postage stamp! The walkable floor area was about the same width as the back door. Looks like metal cabinets and backsplash.

That screen door is AWESOME. Heavy duty. The toaster & salt/pepper shakers are gorgeous, too.

I think you can STILL get Revere Ware skillets like that....

"Forty-something layabout Ken Hall declares, 'Gee, I just never met a girl as swell as dear old Ma'."

Mom always made coffee in the vacuum pot. I have the pot now but the rubber is getting pretty brittle. They were the best pots, but a little messy.

I do believe that is a vacuum coffee pot. The top half is upside down on the stove, already cleaned up.

Best coffee makers ever.

I think I see Mr. Rothstein and another gentleman reflected in the toaster on the table.

That's odd--the stove burners are apparently under a cupboard--good luck not ruining whatever is up there. And to cook, you'd be standing in the doorway? But that old Revere Ware-looking skillet was unchanged for decades. My mother had one.

Takes me back.
