My kitchen is set up almost exactly like this one.. I have an old home with its original kitchen..my cabinets are white..I even have the two pull out cutting boards in the same exact places. And so are my pots and pans..My stove is a late 1940 ‘s with 4 burners a cute attached metal shelf above it with a built in clock. Guests that visit my home either like it or make fun of it, but I don’t care because I love it...it reminds me of my grandmas and their kitchens...I have been blessed to inherit some of their kitchen items which I display in mine...I’m an old soul who appreciates the beauty of old things.
as a full time homemaker I appreciate how much work is done in the kitchen. even with modern appliances I'm beat at the end of the day. God bless our grand mothers!
My grandmother had a Kitchen very similar to hers and I remember her making bread and she said EVERYONE had to bake their own bread because you couldn't just run to the store to buy it and for many years store bought bread was NOT pre-sliced. She had to cook fresh or canned vegetables (Frozen food was practically unheard of) and no pre-packaged mixes - at least not many and nobody could afford most of them. She had to ADD coloring to Margarine and knead it in to make it yellow. Boil water on the stove for cleaning and bathing - no hot water heater. Sweep the floors with a broom and mop by hand. Strip and wax the floors once a month (what a chore that was) Wash by hand with a scrubbing board and hang the clothes to dry. Boil starch to put on the clothes to make them 'crisp' and wrinkle - free. Then Iron by hand with an iron heated on the stove. Dust polish and clean everything in the house, do the shopping, can fruits and vegetables for storage. People today HAVE NO IDEA what our grandparents and their great - grandparents did EVERYDAY just as a matter of daily routine. And this doesn't even include what all you had to do on a farm - YIKES!!!
All the things u hv mentioned are still being done by some people including me except the iron being heated with a stove. You can buy all modern appliances and short-cut foods but sometimes you prefer the old fashioned way. I rarely eat frozen and canned veggies. I don't buy premixes. I sometimes do my laundry by hand. I use a broom and a mop (they clean better and cheaper). I still boil water on the stove for cleaning and also sometimes boil starch for laundry (bedsheets n pillows). Old fashioned but very effective.
I wasn’t even born yet when people did most things by hand but I was raised and taught to hand wash dishes and hand mop floors. I’ve always done it that way.
I always thought it a shame when I demolished old kitchens like this still in workable shape. Simply because they were dated . Say about mid 90's to mid 2000's in US . And now days we're tearing out the granite and matching cabs of that era to put in a farm sink and matching counter cabs to resemble this era. I guess that's progress for ya ;) ?
Yeah try to fry chicken or make spaghetti sauce on that small stove. Not only is there no room but there’s no exhaust fan. Imagine the grease and food that would splash all over. Sign me up!!
@et, I've never seen pots and pans kept up high like that! One thing I really do appreciate is the pull out drawers for them now. It used to be horrible having to get on your knees to hunt for something!
We purchased a 1954 home a couple of years ago and I want to restore the kitchen as much as possible to it’s time frame. I’m researching and came across this gem of a video. Loved this❤
LaminateALlama But for better creepy effect, Laminate, try watching this video at 3 am in a dark room and just think that ALL of the people in it are dead already...and the film maker manually cranking the slides is resurrecting them back to life! :)
Painting Animals On Rocks Sure it does! :) Otherwise, where else would you find children/ daughters...standing at over 6 foot tall (at 7:50) and helping their mom put away dishes in their kitchen cabinets?!
I have to say, her kitchen is more practical than mine (minus the 'washing up machine' that I have). I loved the hanging pots inside of the cupboard, and multiple cutting board pull-outs, and how one was the perfect height for sitting at a chair, for making kids lunches. The way her appliances were organized, and storing utensils that went with associated cooking tasks was smart. Her pot was by the stove, as was the oatmeal and measuring spoon for the porridge. She had a cutting board right beneath where she stores the toaster, with a bread bin in a cabinet right beside it.
I love this to death. And for real- when you think about what most women's kitchens wer e like before the war... this would have felt like heaven to them, God love them.
My grandmother's kitchen still had a wood burning stove until 1960 when we finally gave her my mom's old gas stove. The poor thing died 2 years later. Talk about "too little, too late."
I love the cupboard organization! Plus the two cutting boards. Even though this is a 1940s kitchen design it would be great even today. I think two people could work to prepare a meal without getting in each other's way even though it's a small kitchen.
I live in 2014 and I am so jealous of this kitchen! What on earth! I have a tiny kitchen and this seems like an amazing kitchen compared to mine! Puts me to shame!! So interesting!
Krystal Presland the way houses are built now is to accommodate all of the modern conveniences of today. The video games, the overly larges flat screen tvs, the larger vehicles, more clothes, more shoes, also to hold the mass amounts of food because now we want to buy in bulk. The kitchen was the center of the home in the fifties (and earlier), there was only one tv, and before then it was the radio. Kids played outside more rather than cooped up in the house. So therefore the bedrooms were small because there weren't a lot of indoor toys because they were mostly outside with their friends, the bedroom was for the sole purpose of sleeping and getting dressed, nothing more than that (well, getting homework done too).
@@nvaranavage It depends on where are living. Simply they are not building houses anymore. Families are having to live in cheap small houses but pay top price for them.
The sad thing about living in Britain, 60 years later, is that housing is now so expensive that most people can't aspire to a kitchen like this. My pots and pans are stacked in the tiny amount of cupboard space I have. I can touch both walls of the kitchen at the same time. This is after 60 years of economic growth, most of it consumed by ballooning interest payments on a spiralling property market driven by inflationary central banks and stringent "green" policies preventing the building of sufficient housing stock and the expansion of towns. It's heartbreaking to see how all the post-war enthusiasm for improved domestic circumstances ended up.
jaxxstraw part of the lack of affordable housing stock is down to Maggie Thatcher and her policy of selling all the council houses at cheap prices and not replacing them. Another reason is that the richer people have brought second homes in rural and seaside areas for holidays thereby reducing the amount of housing stock for local youngsters and those moving in with jobs in the area. :-(
My Great Aunt's kitchen was exactly like the "before" one shown at the end of the film! The stove and hot water all run on wood even in summertime in Australia! She even had an old charcoal fridge. Yet she always cooked up a super spread when anyone came to visit. Those were the days.
I lived in Germany for a summer (1978) and lived in a studio apartment for a short while. There was a curtain that you could pull across to hide the "kitchen" which was up against a wall. The kitchen consisted of a refrigerator that was waist high and a sink. The stove was actually built onto the top of the waist high refrigerator and only had two burners, so of course there was no oven. However, I made do. It's amazing how you can adapt to a situation when you have to. I now have a galley kitchen in a condo where everything is within reach. I wouldn't want a larger one, because it's difficult enough keeping a small kitchen clean.
I learned something new, the lap board. My 60s kitchen had one and I thought it was odd it was so low. I presumed it was just a cutting board where you had to lean over it. My MIL's kitchen cabinets were metal with magnets all over them as well as my childhood home. What fun!
I absolutely love this kitchen. It will be wonderful to have two built-in cutting boards. After seeing the images of her old one I could definitely see why she would the over the moon about her new kitchen.
I so enjoyed this. I was just telling a girlhood friend of a 1950's kitchen that I had before moving to this new area. It was much like the kitchen shown here, only I had built-in oven, a dishwasher, & a cook-top with four burners. My medal cabinets were pink (yes, "pink"). It was a lovely kitchen & although I like my new kitchen here, I miss the old!
My grandparents kitchen was in home n gardens magazine as the modern kitchen of the 50s it was ranch style huge with marbled red formica contertops huge O'Keefe n Merritt stove. I loved that house !!❤❤❤❤😊
When I moved to SA with my now exH, our first flat had a kitchen exactly like this only a diff color. It was actually very well laid out for cooking and washing up(no dishwasher either). When I came back to the US and bought a much bigger house the kitchen was enormous. There's a lot to b said for these smaller handy kitchens!
My grandma had one of those egg beaters. I loved it as a small child. After she passed away my Mum got it. We used it for years. It disappeared about fifteen years ago.
I love how precise and accurate she is in all her movements. She's just BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM with everything she does. For sure it was no different in her old kitchen, but you can tell she's upped her game.
😮 I really like the hanging pots in the cupboard, never thought of that. I don't like to have things out so keeping them in a cabinet still displayed yet hidden seems so smart.🤗
1:12 - "Yes, an electric stove. I know I'm lucky, but as electricity is available, it might was well be used." Pay attention here. She is saying that she is "lucky" to have an electric stove (instead of a wood-burning one, as she formerly had in her old kitchen) and that electricity "is available" where they live, which means that there would have been people in the early '50s in Australia who still did not have it in their homes. So even though we think this dinky little thing with just two burners is toy-like, it was noteworthy enough to be specifically pointed out in this movie as a desirable addition that not everyone could have.
I've never seen one like that! It seems like it would be easier to clean. I'm always shaking out my toaster but there's always crumbs that stay. I would love to try one like this!
I love this kitchen. Those shiny steel turquoise cabinets and counters are gorgeous. I'd love a kitchen like this except for the two burner windowless stove. How did she ever manage ?
I love those lap boards. They should bring them back. As someone who cannot stand for long periods, but enjoys cooking, it’d be perfect along with a rolling stool or small chair!
Awesome film! I can't get over that tiny cook stove, though. I have a circa late 1940s-early 1950s gas cook stove and I love it-but it's a four burner and the oven is bigger, which is necessary for big meals such as Thanksgiving turkey!
It is only a three person family. I guess in Australia they didn't celebrate American holidays with the same gusto you do. I wonder if they had an outdoor grill for Christmas gatherings. :)
Lot's of other work to be done between meals, we all helped, had fun, learned about working in our own home. Raised our kids the same way, sad how the home seems life a place you are just passing through for many families. Our son's boy is raised like this, a big help, loves the family. We like the kitchen as well!!
50's kitchens were so revolutionary! it has been great seeing it! and even though modern times have come with a modern society, a woman was very lucky and proud to have a good kitchen!
I love this film so much 😍 i'm an old soul and i'm just 16 yrs old. Am i weird because people around me keeps on thinking that I am. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time searching for a friend that has a same interest like mine.
dont worry about it, I have always felt like I should have lived in the 1940's /1950's I cant explain it either, but I am so into that period of time for some reason. maybe we lived in those times in former lives. who knows. . .
Read ( PEYPES DIARY ) Written about life under Charles II of UK talks of every day life . The plague. And the Great Fire of London. Not one moments boredom.
It's so interesting to see how people in other countries lived. Love the Australian accents. I'm assuming that "NSW' means New South Wales. P.S. Some of the nicest people I have ever met were/are from Australia, would love to visit their wonderful country some day! Also, the kitchen is pretty cool!
I love how the pull-out cutting board was such a new idea in the 50's. My grandparents and parents homes have these built-in boards. My kitchen isn't nearly as pretty as this one. Modern conveniences are still changing how we cook in the kitchen today. I adore the ease of using my electric pressure cooker! I still have the stove top one, but I haven't used it in over a year. *chuckle* I also cook far more than I did before I got a dishwasher - one less time-consuming chore. Since I work to pay for things like my dishwasher, I can justify the expense as my time has $$ directly attached to it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I'm in the market for a new kitchen. I've had 2 people round so far to help me design it. They can't seem to understand that I want a practical kitchen rather than one that look nice but isn't much use. Perhaps I should show them this video.
It's called a "compact work triangle." You should never have to walk more than three steps between the sink, stove, refrigerator, or dishwasher. The most efficient kitchen I ever had was one in an apartment that was L-shaped with the sink between the refrigerator and the stove. I only had to take two steps to move food from the fridge to the sink, or from the sink to the stove. One kitchen I saw in a model home was gorgeous, but was clearly designed by someone who has never cooked a meal in his life! I would've had to walk ten steps between the sink and the refrigerator (on the other side of a huge island). No wonder people with kitchens like that eat out so much! By the end of cooking Christmas dinner, I would've had to have been carried out of there on a stretcher!
Sheila Spencer seriously having had this kind and then going big house/big kitchen, this was so much better!! Turn, reach, bend...not walk a frikkin mile to get a pan, walk a mule back, realize need more stuff 'way over there'...tiny kitchen was super easy and smart too...the dish holder,dryer, wash down area was sheer brilliance if I had no dishwasher which we didn't down in Australia
+Denise Herud -- i know you meant to type "walk a mile back", but "walking a mule back" makes it even funnier & it still makes sense! LOL! Thanks for that, it made my day!
A kitchen should be designed like a work shop. You store tools where you're going to use them, near benches and things. Pots and pans stored near the stove (where you need them). Dishes and table where stored near the sink, where you wash them and put them away. The fridge should be near the counter top where you are most likely to prepare the meals at. Food storage should be near there too. So on and so forth. I find it is most often men who don't cook who design kitchens, esp for apartments. Not much makes sense and there is never enough room for storage of anything. I don't know why they seem to think that people in apartments don't cook as much as people who live in a house do. A kitchen is a busy place. Make it sensible and sturdy!
This great! I think I've seen every American Home Ec film ever produced, so it's nice to see one from Australia. Hopefully there are lots more of these...
My dad built us a new house in the 70's. Our kitchen had two pull out cutting boards, and a metal bread drawer. The bread drawer had a wooden lid that slid shut over the bread. There was a small hole for your finger to fit in to slide the door of the bread drawer open. There was a lazy susan in the corner by the fridge. The upper corner cabinets were full depth. Unlike how they are made today. My mom was very happy with that kitchen.
'70s or 1970s. not 70's. 70s is also correct, but '70s is more grammatically precise. 70's doesn't have sense. only, if someone would be called "70", it was his name, and he owns something. Example: It's 70's pizza. Meaning, the pizza belong to guy named "70".
@@warrax111 of course, lol. Thank you. I wasn't fond of the '70s. I thought the styles, colors, cars, and architecture were so ugly. I guess I'm more traditional at heart, than the decade I was born into.
It is nice to see how people USED to cook and organize their kitchens. We have lost a lot of that knowledge adn now only the uber rich can afford super organized kitchens..
That is complete bollocks. Everyone can have an organized kitchen, no matter the situation. And the lay out depends on the cook, not on fashion. Even when I lived in an apartment with a fridge, a table and an individual induction stove for a kitchen it was still organized. And things were placed in accordance to my movements when cooking. You streamline it as you go, to decide on the optimal placement of things. A million "container store" plastic tubs that will end up in a landfil or heavy glass jars and a lable maker does not an organized kitchen make.
I actually think the uber rich tend to have HUGE kitchens that look impressive and might be spaceous enough for catering style food preparation, but for everyday life they're not very handy, because you have to walk a lot to get everything done. Look how small a 1950s kitchen is compared to a luxury kitchen nowadays, but the advantage is that everything is within convenient distance, which ensures an efficient working process.
I am glad that i bump this vlog. It is so memorable to watch how simple back then. Reminds me my mother in law house Kitchen before. i wish i keep her house
I love these old films. I don’t know how they did it. I have all the conveniences of a modern home and it’s still exhausting and I’m not wearing a dress and heels!!!
A lovely family unit - sitting at table, all laid up - big breakfast. Kitchen is smashing. Love it all ! I wish I had grown up in that family and home.
I'd give anything to have an old kitchen. I remember some of the things used in the film being used in mum's kitchen. Those old toasters and kettles. She still had hers in the early 1970s.
7 o'clock..early Morning on a Farm??? Well...I Must have been raised on a Farm on another Planet 😂😂 Up at 4 latest 4:30 , coffee at 5:00, milking Starts 5:30, then feeding THEN breakfast ..No mummy rubbing eyes in the kitchen in her Rope at 7:00 !at that Time MY Mother was in her overall stuffing porridge down her throat half sitting, half running thinking about cleaning stables and preparing lunch (at the Same Time if she could have 😁)...But aus I Said different planet I suppose...Or Maybe we just Had the wrong kitchen??😂😂
Marco Titze My grandparents had wood stoves well into the seventies. You could cook so many things on one of those stoves at the same time. When I was a teen I learned how to cook on one of them. Having lived with only 2 burners until 12 years ago, I would not think of it. I could not imagine either of them giving up a wonderful wood stove for an electric 2 burner.
They were actors, not farmers. They were part of an ad back then, nothing more. This was not a family, just a bunch of people put together, acting as they were directed.
The first electric refrigerator we had was a Kelvinator. The freezer part was only large enough for one ice cube tray and maybe two boxes of frozen vegetables. We had it for a long time. The kitchen also had a fold-out ironing board with an (round) electric outlet.
Hey Dad, Sit down with your feet up, reading the paper, with the radio on while the women fix your dinner! Only kidding. For the youngins this was set in a time when most women stayed home to work, while men worked 5 or 6 days a week at their jobs and then fixed their houses and cars after work or on the weekends. Yep, Cars had to be repaired almost weekly, tires lasted less than 20,000 miles, and you had to tune up your car every 8,000 or so, or you'd just be wasting gas and barely moving. Keep in mind that during this period of time that one job was generally sufficient to live a decent, middle class life.
Stephen2846 My dad came home from work in time for my mom to go to work on the evening a few days a week. He cooked ,and cleaned then often took us to the park afterward. If it was rainy, my dad told us scary stories he made up. Some of my best memories come from dad taking care of,us,the evenings. Both my parents did their best to equally share financial responsibility and domestic duties.
+Stephen2846 You do not mean cars were repaired weekly what you mean is that they were maintained unlike todays cars that people simply do not look after. I wash and clean my car once a week and give it a quick vacuum every second day. And I keep it well maintained.
Love this kitchen, it's a feel good kitchen and you don't need a washing up machine, I am the washing up machine. Alot of what she was using we had at home. I still use a jug similar to the one she has, wouldn't use any other.
This is a dream kitchen of every woman in the 50s. This couple seems to live above the ordinary average. Dishwasher was not even a dream back then. Simply great thought to plan every thing handy.
How wonderful these old films are! My mother grew up in this clip's era. I love how time moves on to the next generation and the next generation and so forth. Thank god that women nowadays can have thier own source of income (think women getting college degrees and having thier own source of income). If we end up with children and no other income sources we can rely now on ourselves. I feel bad for our foremothers having to put up with abuse, disrespect, physical beatings. etc. because she had no other source of income. Thank god times have changed.
things were so much simpler back then. today you need at least twice as much counter space for all your appliances - toaster, microwave, coffee maker/keurig machine, bread maker, toaster oven, blender, mixer, food processor, juicer, air fryer, rice cooker, waffle maker, espresso machine...
I just can't sit to do prep work. I try, I just can't. I know some people have to and do not have that choice, but I just can't do it. Maybe when I'm older I will appreciate being able to though. And I just gotta comment on the guy in the video, was he supposed to be the father? If I threw a pillow into my Dad while he was reading the paper, I woulda been landed on the ceiling!! Lololol What the heck!
I can’t do much when sitting either. It is something about my arms not being at the right level. That said, when I knocked out my back, it was nice to have at least one counter I could pull up a rolling chair to.
They were all actors playing their parts. Yes, he was the "father," and that was no teenager/daughter. That young woman was in her mid 20s, at least. It was nothing but an ad at the time, and not a family with a "shiny new kitchen."
Well, remember at the time that the man was the breadwinner, and the woman didn't work outside the home. When you think about it, both were employed: He worked outside the home, she worked inside the home. It was what it was.
@grand, before I went to nursing school, (I was 32), I always considered keeping my home as my job. I did the cooking, the laundry, the cleaning, taking care of the children and even cutting the grass occasionally. I tried to make my husband's life as easy as possible since he worked so hard. In the mornings, I laid his clothes out, brought his coffee to him, packed his lunch and had dinner ready when he came home!
Men don't make enough money by themselves to afford to pay a woman to do that for him anymore, and it leaves women vulnerable to financial abuse when they can't earn their own money (something women are still prone to suffering from, since even though women provide more than 60% of a state's GDP value, women only get back less than 50% of the capital gains from all their labour; in other words, even in 2021 women still largely do a lot of unpaid labour, and are expected to do 200% of the work for about 75% to 95% of the pay). So it's better that woman work and everyone, even people with penises, learns how to manage basic household chores. It is what it is. I hope that women are able to become more independent, I can't imagine how many women only got married because it was the thing to do and the only way for them to be able to afford to have clothes on her back and not starve to death, let's not go back to that! Hopefully one day women will be fairly compensated for ALL the work they do (especially mothers, SAHM or not), we are still a long way off from that.
As she works in the kitchen, from the back she looks like my Mom. Same hair style and dress as she wore when I was a kid in the late 50s and 60. Women were very serious home makers then. The good old days, things were simple.
Just now seeing this video, 5 years after your comment; these are nothing but actors, and that "girl" was an adult woman, not a schoolgirl by any means. All you have to do is look at her face the couple of times there's a fairly close shot, and it's easy to see that she's at least in her mid 20s.
We used to give Mom a kiss before heading off to school, too. Those were the days! In a lot of respects, I wish we could go back to these simpler times.
What i would do for a kitchen like this. I have this video and the one on a step saving kitchen from 1949 saved for when i am blessed to build my own home

Even modern sliced bread sucks. People just don't know what they're missing when they opt for ready-to-eat bread instead of fresh-baked bread.
Wow sounds awful
I wish the kitchens today were like this. This one is fabulous. I'd love it.
People are so stupid about the past. I remember those days. The spoiled women of today have no idea. I prefer the people and ways of the 50's

I loved the hanging pots inside of the cupboard, and multiple cutting board pull-outs, and how one was the perfect height for sitting at a chair, for making kids lunches.

She had a cutting board right beneath where she stores the toaster, with a bread bin in a cabinet right beside it.

I love it too. I've watched it so many times. We are so spoilt today!
What country is this?
Christy T Australia.
Mindimoo M Thank you, I wasn't sure if I'd missed it, and I'm not very good with dialects in that region of the globe.
My grandmother's kitchen still had a wood burning stove until 1960 when we finally gave her my mom's old gas stove. The poor thing died 2 years later. Talk about "too little, too late."
I love the cupboard organization! Plus the two cutting boards. Even though this is a 1940s kitchen design it would be great even today. I think two people could work to prepare a meal without getting in each other's way even though it's a small kitchen.
Welcome to the present where we all want to go back to the past ❤
Nothing new under the sun.
I live in 2014 and I am so jealous of this kitchen! What on earth! I have a tiny kitchen and this seems like an amazing kitchen compared to mine! Puts me to shame!! So interesting!
I live in 2017 and this is better than my kitchen..lolol
its 2018 and im very jealous,this is luxury for me
Krystal Presland the way houses are built now is to accommodate all of the modern conveniences of today. The video games, the overly larges flat screen tvs, the larger vehicles, more clothes, more shoes, also to hold the mass amounts of food because now we want to buy in bulk. The kitchen was the center of the home in the fifties (and earlier), there was only one tv, and before then it was the radio. Kids played outside more rather than cooped up in the house. So therefore the bedrooms were small because there weren't a lot of indoor toys because they were mostly outside with their friends, the bedroom was for the sole purpose of sleeping and getting dressed, nothing more than that (well, getting homework done too).

It depends on where are living. Simply they are not building houses anymore.
Families are having to live in cheap small houses but pay top price for them.
It can't be any tinier than mine!! It's 9x9....so my walking area is 4x9.
I love the way the pots and their lids were stored, wish I had that, and that cutting board,
The sad thing about living in Britain, 60 years later, is that housing is now so expensive that most people can't aspire to a kitchen like this. My pots and pans are stacked in the tiny amount of cupboard space I have. I can touch both walls of the kitchen at the same time. This is after 60 years of economic growth, most of it consumed by ballooning interest payments on a spiralling property market driven by inflationary central banks and stringent "green" policies preventing the building of sufficient housing stock and the expansion of towns. It's heartbreaking to see how all the post-war enthusiasm for improved domestic circumstances ended up.
This film was made in New South Wales, Australia.

The original comment still applies to Britain.
jaxxstraw part of the lack of affordable housing stock is down to Maggie Thatcher and her policy of selling all the council houses at cheap prices and not replacing them. Another reason is that the richer people have brought second homes in rural and seaside areas for holidays thereby reducing the amount of housing stock for local youngsters and those moving in with jobs in the area. :-(
@jax, oh you answered my question! I thought it was in England.
Sounds exactly like my kitchen in ny state. People just dont want their tenants to be happy cause that wouldn't make them money
My Great Aunt's kitchen was exactly like the "before" one shown at the end of the film! The stove and hot water all run on wood even in summertime in Australia! She even had an old charcoal fridge. Yet she always cooked up a super spread when anyone came to visit. Those were the days.
I LOVE Retro videos like this ! A Big Sincere Thank-you to "who-ever" made this possible to view !! : )
I lived in Germany for a summer (1978) and lived in a studio apartment for a short while. There was a curtain that you could pull across to hide the "kitchen" which was up against a wall. The kitchen consisted of a refrigerator that was waist high and a sink. The stove was actually built onto the top of the waist high refrigerator and only had two burners, so of course there was no oven. However, I made do. It's amazing how you can adapt to a situation when you have to. I now have a galley kitchen in a condo where everything is within reach. I wouldn't want a larger one, because it's difficult enough keeping a small kitchen clean.
I learned something new, the lap board. My 60s kitchen had one and I thought it was odd it was so low. I presumed it was just a cutting board where you had to lean over it. My MIL's kitchen cabinets were metal with magnets all over them as well as my childhood home. What fun!
I love this kitchen , it's far more functional than mine, some great ideas, with star age. Love the could too!!!
I absolutely love this kitchen. It will be wonderful to have two built-in cutting boards. After seeing the images of her old one I could definitely see why she would the over the moon about her new kitchen.
1:36 I wish that I had this for my pots and pans. That's really useful!
I so enjoyed this. I was just telling a girlhood friend of a 1950's kitchen that I had before moving to this new area. It was much like the kitchen shown here, only I had built-in oven, a dishwasher, & a cook-top with four burners. My medal cabinets were pink (yes, "pink"). It was a lovely kitchen & although I like my new kitchen here, I miss the old!
My grandparents kitchen was in home n gardens magazine as the modern kitchen of the 50s it was ranch style huge with marbled red formica contertops huge O'Keefe n Merritt stove. I loved that house !!❤❤❤❤😊
When I moved to SA with my now exH, our first flat had a kitchen exactly like this only a diff color. It was actually very well laid out for cooking and washing up(no dishwasher either). When I came back to the US and bought a much bigger house the kitchen was enormous. There's a lot to b said for these smaller handy kitchens!
My grandma had one of those egg beaters. I loved it as a small child. After she passed away my Mum got it. We used it for years. It disappeared about fifteen years ago.
Sheri451 they are still for sale 👍🏻😁
I want one
I love watching this home film on new modern appliances! And kitchen and home design!
I love how precise and accurate she is in all her movements. She's just BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM with everything she does. For sure it was no different in her old kitchen, but you can tell she's upped her game.
I love those kitchens of the fifties.
Also seeing women working in the kitchen and dressing in nice and feminine clothes is very pleasing.
I like that, too. It reminded me of my mother who, regardless of what a mess her life was, always wore a pretty dressing gown.
You're into tradwifes, how nice 🙄
This was like going back in a time machine! Loved it!
I could also feel well in that beautiful kitchen. Everything is on the right place and at hand and it is not over-electrified.
Some truly Oscar-worthy camerawork and transition effects in this. 👏👏👏
😮 I really like the hanging pots in the cupboard, never thought of that. I don't like to have things out so keeping them in a cabinet still displayed yet hidden seems so smart.🤗
1:12 - "Yes, an electric stove. I know I'm lucky, but as electricity is available, it might was well be used." Pay attention here. She is saying that she is "lucky" to have an electric stove (instead of a wood-burning one, as she formerly had in her old kitchen) and that electricity "is available" where they live, which means that there would have been people in the early '50s in Australia who still did not have it in their homes. So even though we think this dinky little thing with just two burners is toy-like, it was noteworthy enough to be specifically pointed out in this movie as a desirable addition that not everyone could have.
Grandma had a toaster just ike in this video made the best toast. old but worked perfect way beyond it's years
I've never seen one like that! It seems like it would be easier to clean. I'm always shaking out my toaster but there's always crumbs that stay. I would love to try one like this!
TWO CUTTING BOARDS?! That is extravagant. Maybe you could have afforded a dishwasher, but no, you had to have two bloody cutting boards, Mrs. Astor.
And did you notice the tiny little two-burner stove
😂😂😂😂 👏🏼
I love this kitchen. Those shiny steel turquoise cabinets and counters are gorgeous. I'd love a kitchen like this except for the two burner windowless stove. How did she ever manage ?
من المؤسف ان هذه القناه الرائعه فيها هذا العدد القليل من المشتركين انها قناه راقيه وقديمه فيها عراقة الماضي الجميل
Woah... That's why I love the good old films/videos/footage!
I love those lap boards. They should bring them back. As someone who cannot stand for long periods, but enjoys cooking, it’d be perfect along with a rolling stool or small chair!
Awesome film! I can't get over that tiny cook stove, though. I have a circa late 1940s-early 1950s gas cook stove and I love it-but it's a four burner and the oven is bigger, which is necessary for big meals such as Thanksgiving turkey!
It is only a three person family. I guess in Australia they didn't celebrate American holidays with the same gusto you do. I wonder if they had an outdoor grill for Christmas gatherings. :)
Lot's of other work to be done between meals, we all helped, had fun, learned about working in our own home. Raised our kids the same way, sad how the home seems life a place you are just passing through for many families. Our son's boy is raised like this, a big help, loves the family. We like the kitchen as well!!
William Stuller ~ Those were the days & smart parents/grandparents pass it down.
50's kitchens were so revolutionary! it has been great seeing it! and even though modern times have come with a modern society, a woman was very lucky and proud to have a good kitchen!
I love this film so much 😍 i'm an old soul and i'm just 16 yrs old. Am i weird because people around me keeps on thinking that I am. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time searching for a friend that has a same interest like mine.
dont worry about it, I have always felt like I should have lived in the 1940's /1950's
I cant explain it either, but I am so into that period of time for some reason. maybe we lived in those times in former lives. who knows. . .
It is up to you people to build the next generation. At present you have allowed the global warming crowd to take over your youth culture.
you sound sweet. You like it because of the 50's family atmosphere laid back in comparison to today .
Read ( PEYPES DIARY ) Written about life under Charles II of UK talks of every day life . The plague. And the Great Fire of London. Not one moments boredom.
You lived thousands of lives.
Such lovely homes. I dream of this era.
It's so interesting to see how people in other countries lived. Love the Australian accents. I'm assuming that "NSW' means New South Wales. P.S. Some of the nicest people I have ever met were/are from Australia, would love to visit their wonderful country some day! Also, the kitchen is pretty cool!

I thought this was a British documentary.
Thanks for your lovely comment. Sending love from Western Australia.
👋🏼😁 G’day from Queensland 🌴☀️🧉🍹👙🙋🏼♀️
I left England end of 69’ never been back 🚢 🎉 🇦🇺
Yeah except the accent reminds me of prisoner cell block H. I picture her and Bea Smith bashing a lagger! Lol
the kitchen looks like a dump.
I love how the pull-out cutting board was such a new idea in the 50's. My grandparents and parents homes have these built-in boards. My kitchen isn't nearly as pretty as this one. Modern conveniences are still changing how we cook in the kitchen today. I adore the ease of using my electric pressure cooker! I still have the stove top one, but I haven't used it in over a year. *chuckle* I also cook far more than I did before I got a dishwasher - one less time-consuming chore. Since I work to pay for things like my dishwasher, I can justify the expense as my time has $$ directly attached to it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I'm in the market for a new kitchen. I've had 2 people round so far to help me design it. They can't seem to understand that I want a practical kitchen rather than one that look nice but isn't much use. Perhaps I should show them this video.
It's called a "compact work triangle." You should never have to walk more than three steps between the sink, stove, refrigerator, or dishwasher. The most efficient kitchen I ever had was one in an apartment that was L-shaped with the sink between the refrigerator and the stove. I only had to take two steps to move food from the fridge to the sink, or from the sink to the stove.
One kitchen I saw in a model home was gorgeous, but was clearly designed by someone who has never cooked a meal in his life! I would've had to walk ten steps between the sink and the refrigerator (on the other side of a huge island). No wonder people with kitchens like that eat out so much! By the end of cooking Christmas dinner, I would've had to have been carried out of there on a stretcher!
Sheila Spencer seriously having had this kind and then going big house/big kitchen, this was so much better!! Turn, reach, bend...not walk a frikkin mile to get a pan, walk a mule back, realize need more stuff 'way over there'...tiny kitchen was super easy and smart too...the dish holder,dryer, wash down area was sheer brilliance if I had no dishwasher which we didn't down in Australia
+Denise Herud -- i know you meant to type "walk a mile back", but "walking a mule back" makes it even funnier & it still makes sense! LOL! Thanks for that, it made my day!
Kimmi Mcknight ~😂If you havta' take a mule back...
A kitchen should be designed like a work shop. You store tools where you're going to use them, near benches and things. Pots and pans stored near the stove (where you need them). Dishes and table where stored near the sink, where you wash them and put them away. The fridge should be near the counter top where you are most likely to prepare the meals at. Food storage should be near there too. So on and so forth. I find it is most often men who don't cook who design kitchens, esp for apartments. Not much makes sense and there is never enough room for storage of anything. I don't know why they seem to think that people in apartments don't cook as much as people who live in a house do. A kitchen is a busy place. Make it sensible and sturdy!
This great! I think I've seen every American Home Ec film ever produced, so it's nice to see one from Australia. Hopefully there are lots more of these...
My dad built us a new house in the 70's. Our kitchen had two pull out cutting boards, and a metal bread drawer. The bread drawer had a wooden lid that slid shut over the bread. There was a small hole for your finger to fit in to slide the door of the bread drawer open. There was a lazy susan in the corner by the fridge. The upper corner cabinets were full depth. Unlike how they are made today. My mom was very happy with that kitchen.
'70s or 1970s. not 70's.
70s is also correct, but '70s is more grammatically precise.
70's doesn't have sense.
only, if someone would be called "70", it was his name, and he owns something. Example: It's 70's pizza.
Meaning, the pizza belong to guy named "70".
@@warrax111 of course, lol. Thank you. I wasn't fond of the '70s. I thought the styles, colors, cars, and architecture were so ugly. I guess I'm more traditional at heart, than the decade I was born into.
@@sstephens2175I'm just grammar police. I don't care.
It is nice to see how people USED to cook and organize their kitchens. We have lost a lot of that knowledge adn now only the uber rich can afford super organized kitchens..
That is complete bollocks. Everyone can have an organized kitchen, no matter the situation. And the lay out depends on the cook, not on fashion. Even when I lived in an apartment with a fridge, a table and an individual induction stove for a kitchen it was still organized. And things were placed in accordance to my movements when cooking. You streamline it as you go, to decide on the optimal placement of things.
A million "container store" plastic tubs that will end up in a landfil or heavy glass jars and a lable maker does not an organized kitchen make.
@@celimendez7620 i agree. I actually was somewhat surprised at her comment.
I actually think the uber rich tend to have HUGE kitchens that look impressive and might be spaceous enough for catering style food preparation, but for everyday life they're not very handy, because you have to walk a lot to get everything done. Look how small a 1950s kitchen is compared to a luxury kitchen nowadays, but the advantage is that everything is within convenient distance, which ensures an efficient working process.
I am glad that i bump this vlog. It is so memorable to watch how simple back then. Reminds me my mother in law house Kitchen before. i wish i keep her house
I love these old films. I don’t know how they did it. I have all the conveniences of a modern home and it’s still exhausting and I’m not wearing a dress and heels!!!
Love the cabinets color 😍 the pots and pans cabinet is very handy 😊
A lovely family unit - sitting at table, all laid up - big breakfast. Kitchen is smashing. Love it all ! I wish I had grown up in that family and home.
I simply love these vintage vids❤
Love they had videos showing exactly where you put things and how the space would operate.....nowadays u have to fugure it out on your own,
I'd give anything to have an old kitchen. I remember some of the things used in the film being used in mum's kitchen. Those old toasters and kettles. She still had hers in the early 1970s.
oh warm fuzzy feelings of feeling at home came to mind. When we all got along . All us kids. Wow. I needed this.
This is such a delight and so dreamy! 😍
7 o'clock..early Morning on a Farm??? Well...I Must have been raised on a Farm on another Planet 😂😂 Up at 4 latest 4:30 , coffee at 5:00, milking Starts 5:30, then feeding THEN breakfast ..No mummy rubbing eyes in the kitchen in her Rope at 7:00 !at that Time MY Mother was in her overall stuffing porridge down her throat half sitting, half running thinking about cleaning stables and preparing lunch (at the Same Time if she could have 😁)...But aus I Said different planet I suppose...Or Maybe we just Had the wrong kitchen??😂😂
Marco Titze My grandparents had wood stoves well into the seventies. You could cook so many things on one of those stoves at the same time. When I was a teen I learned how to cook on one of them.
Having lived with only 2 burners until 12 years ago, I would not think of it. I could not imagine either of them giving up a wonderful wood stove for an electric 2 burner.
Sheep or beef cattle, maybe?
Marco Titze
They may had only crops growing, no cows that needed tending.
Marco Titze God bless
They were actors, not farmers. They were part of an ad back then, nothing more. This was not a family, just a bunch of people put together, acting as they were directed.
J adore le concept en général et surtout les planches à découper retractables❤❤❤❤
Green cabinets and stainless steel countertops are back in style!
Those cabinets look so solid. I love the novel ideas and colours.
The first electric refrigerator we had was a Kelvinator. The freezer part was only large enough for one ice cube tray and maybe two boxes of frozen vegetables. We had it for a long time. The kitchen also had a fold-out ironing board with an (round) electric outlet.
Hey Dad,
Sit down with your feet up, reading the paper, with the radio on while the women fix your dinner!
Only kidding. For the youngins this was set in a time when most women stayed home to work, while men worked 5 or 6 days a week at their jobs and then fixed their houses and cars after work or on the weekends. Yep, Cars had to be repaired almost weekly, tires lasted less than 20,000 miles, and you had to tune up your car every 8,000 or so, or you'd just be wasting gas and barely moving.
Keep in mind that during this period of time that one job was generally sufficient to live a decent, middle class life.
Stephen2846 My dad came home from work in time for my mom to go to work on the evening a few days a week. He cooked ,and cleaned then often took us to the park afterward. If it was rainy, my dad told us scary stories he made up. Some of my best memories come from dad taking care of,us,the evenings. Both my parents did their best to equally share financial responsibility and domestic duties.
My dad could barely make a sandwich. With mom working the cooking dinner passed down to me at 12.
scarletfluerr Sounds familiar. It was passed on to me at age 10. My parents had very high expectations too- higher than a 10 year old could achieve.
+Stephen2846
You do not mean cars were repaired weekly what you mean is that they were maintained unlike todays cars that people simply do not look after.
I wash and clean my car once a week and give it a quick vacuum every second day. And I keep it well maintained.
Love this kitchen, it's a feel good kitchen and you don't need a washing up machine, I am the washing up machine. Alot of what she was using we had at home. I still use a jug similar to the one she has, wouldn't use any other.
This is a dream kitchen of every woman in the 50s. This couple seems to live above the ordinary average. Dishwasher was not even a dream back then. Simply great thought to plan every thing handy.
Very neat to watch! We are putting together a bunkhouse on our farm to use as a vacation rental and want to outfit it from the 40's/50's.
God Bless you. Enjoyed your video!
That’s a genius set up better than today.
i have an old kitchen with a lapboard, i love it!!!
What a nice kitchen! I wish I had a kitchen like that.
I love these old kitchens
I really liked her old kitchen 😊
How wonderful these old films are! My mother grew up in this clip's era. I love how time moves on to the next generation and the next generation and so forth. Thank god that women nowadays can have thier own source of income (think women getting college degrees and having thier own source of income). If we end up with children and no other income sources we can rely now on ourselves. I feel bad for our foremothers having to put up with abuse, disrespect, physical beatings. etc. because she had no other source of income. Thank god times have changed.
things were so much simpler back then. today you need at least twice as much counter space for all your appliances - toaster, microwave, coffee maker/keurig machine, bread maker, toaster oven, blender, mixer, food processor, juicer, air fryer, rice cooker, waffle maker, espresso machine...
Not often we see an old film like this from Australia.
Супер, все продумано до мелочей
What nostalgia to see the 50's
I just can't sit to do prep work. I try, I just can't. I know some people have to and do not have that choice, but I just can't do it. Maybe when I'm older I will appreciate being able to though.
And I just gotta comment on the guy in the video, was he supposed to be the father? If I threw a pillow into my Dad while he was reading the paper, I woulda been landed on the ceiling!! Lololol What the heck!
I can’t do much when sitting either. It is something about my arms not being at the right level. That said, when I knocked out my back, it was nice to have at least one counter I could pull up a rolling chair to.
They were all actors playing their parts. Yes, he was the "father," and that was no teenager/daughter. That young woman was in her mid 20s, at least. It was nothing but an ad at the time, and not a family with a "shiny new kitchen."
Now that is an organized kitchen. The chrome counter top is super cool, and the color is great.
Kitchens were laid out so much better then..I want the pot cabinet..bad
I expected a retro-futurism film, but I wasn't disappointed that it wasnt.
This was a womans work bench while mens workbenche was in the garage or on a job site. There was so much pride in the kitchen.
Well, remember at the time that the man was the breadwinner, and the woman didn't work outside the home. When you think about it, both were employed: He worked outside the home, she worked inside the home. It was what it was.
@grand, before I went to nursing school, (I was 32), I always considered keeping my home as my job. I did the cooking, the laundry, the cleaning, taking care of the children and even cutting the grass occasionally. I tried to make my husband's life as easy as possible since he worked so hard. In the mornings, I laid his clothes out, brought his coffee to him, packed his lunch and had dinner ready when he came home!
Men don't make enough money by themselves to afford to pay a woman to do that for him anymore, and it leaves women vulnerable to financial abuse when they can't earn their own money (something women are still prone to suffering from, since even though women provide more than 60% of a state's GDP value, women only get back less than 50% of the capital gains from all their labour; in other words, even in 2021 women still largely do a lot of unpaid labour, and are expected to do 200% of the work for about 75% to 95% of the pay). So it's better that woman work and everyone, even people with penises, learns how to manage basic household chores. It is what it is. I hope that women are able to become more independent, I can't imagine how many women only got married because it was the thing to do and the only way for them to be able to afford to have clothes on her back and not starve to death, let's not go back to that! Hopefully one day women will be fairly compensated for ALL the work they do (especially mothers, SAHM or not), we are still a long way off from that.
Thankfully these times are over. I definitely enjoy not needing a man .
I actually love the old kitchen with the fireplace.
As she works in the kitchen, from the back she looks like my Mom. Same hair style and dress as she wore when I was a kid in the late 50s and 60. Women were very serious home makers then. The good old days, things were simple.
I love how we still said things like 'it was literally covered' lol
Когда я увидела, как тот мужчина закидывает ногу на подлокотник - чуть со стула не упала 😂
How did those pint sized parents make a daughter that tall?
HowsaBowsaYowsa~We didn't see GrandPa & Ma. Sturdy Wales genes.Maybe built like Clydesdales.😀
Carole Cook is the narrator Welsh?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That kitchen provides good nutrition to the young'ns.
Just now seeing this video, 5 years after your comment; these are nothing but actors, and that "girl" was an adult woman, not a schoolgirl by any means. All you have to do is look at her face the couple of times there's a fairly close shot, and it's easy to see that she's at least in her mid 20s.
2:59 And... ACTION!
Thank's for sharing this video.
I do love the old kitchen though, and i think I could have gotten along in it!
watching this while i do the dishes
We used to give Mom a kiss before heading off to school, too. Those were the days! In a lot of respects, I wish we could go back to these simpler times.
Great watching these videos. I was born in 1954
What i would do for a kitchen like this. I have this video and the one on a step saving kitchen from 1949 saved for when i am blessed to build my own home
I can totally relate to the school uniform with the hair in long plaits and ribbons on the ends. Classic Australian school girl attire.
Wow, only two elements on the stove! I couldn't cook with that stove.
They used to sell pots that had a division down the center, so you could cook two different things in the pot at the same time for the same meal.
I know. I gotta have at least 8, lol!
I couldn't cook with more than two elements. Too much to watch at the same time, and too many used pots and pans.
Kelly Maguire the temps are all in some weird measurement too...not Celsius, something weird...I never got it right...ruined 3 cookie sheets cuz it was hella hot!!😂🤷🏼♀️
Fahrenheit?
