@@daynajordan5296 Yeah, I don't like that particular detail. What I like overall is the attention to detail and looking for a design that's practical for the era. So a modern kitchen today might have some very different and still very practical details.
Up until they passed just a few years ago... my grandparents had almost the exact same layout kitchen. They had refused to upgrade their house since the 40's as they were comfortable and loved they way everything worked.
I think we've really lost a lot of common sense over the years. This was very modern at the time, and some of it wouldnt work (open bins with flour and sugar? Oh no!) One thing I've learned as I've grown older - I love having a kitchen that's separate from the living space, I see why people used to love it then too :)
It was Advancement in knowledge of food safety and cost of repair of Sliders and castors etc. However, an invisible cook top is available if you got the Moucha money
Do you see, at 6:45, the way the pan of potatoes is sitting right inside the range? That was a common feature of the first couple decades of electric stoves that was called a "Deep Well Cooker"...it was literally a pot-shaped well sunken into the rangetop, with thickly insulated walls, and the heating coil at the bottom, And came with a covered pot that fit perfectly into it, with little raised handles. Some conpanies offered extra pots with metal dividers, meant to hold more than one kind of vegetable, etc. The Deep Well had multiple purposes: you could use it for deep frying or boiling, and it was more secure than having a pan sitting on top of the range.... No pan handles sticking off the side, and it couldn't accidentally be knocked over! Helpful for the busy mother of young children. It was also meant to be more efficient: you could set it on very low and use it like a crockpot, or set it on high for rapid cooking. Last but nor least, because it was so well insulated, it was perfect for preparing meals in summertime without heating your whole kitchen too much. (Considering this was when very few homes had any kind of air conditioning, that would have been a boon, and even now, would save a lot of energy) You could have a cut of meat and veggies packed in there, cook everything up on low heat, and then, after dishing the meal out onto your servingware, fill the pot with cold water to absorb the heat from the pan. Unfortunately, if stuff spilled, they xoyuld be a bit difficult to clean from what I understand, and the very large families of the 50s and 60s often meant people would rather have another coil because rheu were making big portions of everything. They're a pretty cool historical detail, though. When growing up, I partly learned to cook from a very old paperback cookbook for housewives using "the new electric kitchen!" and they explained it, and had whole meal plans that incorporated it and showed you how to use it in various ways.
@@TheFunctionalForce You're super welcome! When I was a young teen cooking from very old cookbooks, I found them fascinating so I did some research. In a way, they had some of the same functions as an instant pot.
Barbiturates were very easily available in that time period, and many women were given them to keep them complacent. They even had a catchy little name: Mother's Little Helper.
This was mid stage capitalism, before everybody and their mothers had to have 4 jobs to get by and families were more in tact...extended families, and we weren't so overscheduled...
Honestly the only tweak I think would be nice is the paper towel roll being somewhere outside of the cabinet (in the open). It'd make quickly cleaning up spills easier
What i love about those old media (movies / music / radio) is how soft spoken and well articulated the people were. No slurring of words, fast paced rapid fire sentences or emotional outbursts.
My sister has a 1948 Frigidaire in her basement. It’s from our parents and still works. The door gasket has been replaced numerous times and the motor redone at least three times, but it’s still in use!
@@mariekatherine5238that's great... Things made to be fixed, not made for the landfill. My microwave started acting funny after only 2 months of use. The cost to repair would be more than a new one. And fixing it alone risks death because of the materials inside. What a shame
I love the innocent evolution of the kitchen... but the ants, insects and roaches had a field day accessing the sugar, flour and vegetables. But needless to say it was well thought of back in the days and that is honestly how kitchens evolved. Love the quality of the video.. I really appreciate the time spent in restoring and sharing this video. Thanks for posting
@ FirstNameLastName-wt5to Lol People who live in the Southern US know that no matter how clean your kitchen is, Palmetto Bugs aka giant roaches that refuse to die will find their way in.
I can relate to the bug concern living in central Florida due to tropical weather being constant. No matter how clean you keep your house it's something you have to always be diligent about. But with today's technology applied to storage combined with this kitchen design would be my dream kitchen! I love how the stove has a bin for steaming veggies!
This is slightly before the surge in popularity of canned and frozen vegetables. That's why I think a lot of these ideas never caught on - not because they were bad ideas, they were great ideas, but because suddenly it became modern and space-age and 'healthy' to eat processed foods rather than cook from scratch.
You'd want to (re)design them so that they had securable lids covering them too. Without such lids, mice would have a feast without you even seeing them.
My grandmother earned a home economics university diploma in the 1940s and her kitchen in the 1980s to 2000s still incorporated some of the space saving concepts in this video.
Прошло почти 75 лет, а ничего лучше ещё не придумали! Идеальная кухня! Просто невероятно, что это 1949 год! Я родилась в 1977 году в Москве, домашний телефон и обычный миксер у нас появились, когда я уже училась в школе!
Built ins for airtight storage containers would be amazing. And @ neoasura sometimes you can do so and still get infestations. Partner and I kept our own place clean, neighbors deserted their place furniture and food included and caused our previously fine apartment to have roaches that came through wall outlets/air vents/baseboards ect. It was horrific and I'm glad to be out of there.
When we moved into our first home (1950's track home) that same electric stove was sitting in the garage covered by a sheet. We cleaned it up, looked good as new and worked perfectly. We used it for the years we lived there. When we sold the house the couple moving in asked to buy it but we just let them have it. We became good friends and 20 years later they still have the stove. Works perfectly. Talk about quality.
I've been told by repairmen of the day that they built appliances to last a life time. Every component was made to be replaced or repaired so the whole unit didn't need to go into the dump. We Americans used to take pride in long-lasting and reliable products. Alas. That's all over now.
After my parents passed away I took over their 1950s house (I took it over in 1998 when mom died) and the house still had the original stove (the one pictured in this video, minus the boiling pot inset), I just replaced the stove in 2016 when I could no longer get the oven heating element anymore. I'd likely still have the stove if I could have replaced that heating element, it was a damn good stove that raised a family of 8 then a family of 5, two generations.
I have a Samsung stove and above counter microwave that was purchased July 2020. The digital numbers on the stove are going haywire. Flashing and flickering and just noticed this week parts of the numbers on the microwave have gone out.
Back then is when good quality products were made meant to last a life time,might i add simple and easy as well.Nowadys almost everything is computerized you have to type in your setting on a little keyboard,whereas back then you just turned the knob and you were ready to cook,and don't even get me started on the instruction manuals for these new stoves might as well be written in greek.
The woman's dress reminds me my grandma used to wear dresses like that until her very last day of life. Beautiful, I miss you so much, I am sorry for everything I've done wrong...
I'm only twenty yet I feel so envious of the kitchen, nothing needs an internet connection or software update just to cook some potatoes, it seems so wonderful
My mind is blown every 20 seconds watching this!!! Things just made sense and were so focused on flow and functionality. I actually just bought myself a barstool for the kitchen because back pain has caused me to avoid standing at the counter to prepare meals for any reasonable length of time. I thought it was such a wacky idea because I never see someone sitting to do kitchen tasks until this video 😂
My grandma moved a little quicker than the woman in the add She baked, canned, and cooked great meals. She was a full time nurse and kept what we called borders. I couldn't walk in her shoes for one day. She had a pink kitchen much like this one, always so clean. My grandma, my hero. Love to all the ladies that didn't have today's luxuries and still spoiled us. Thank you for posting.
This is my first time i saw this video. The organization in the kitchen is very clearly, easy to see and choose the ingredients to cook. 1949 that the US was like this. Countries in Europe are very developed compared to our Asian countries. Someday, I will arrive to U.S and learn more knowledge and also speak English too much to get better.
I recognize nearly all those appliances: the Mixmaster, the flour sifter even the wooden rolling pin. Am still in the house built by my parents in 1950. Yes, we even had same table and chairs. Thanks for showing this.
This explains why my grandma didnt want to change her old kitchen, she loved to be in her kitchen and was able to prepare a lot of meals in a short span of time, her old kitchen was so efficient, well designed and cleaning was also a breeze. Miss you grandma😢
And look at that lovely dessert she made for her family. All at the table. No one complaining they don’t like this or that. No electronics. No tv. Just mom and dad and kids. How safe, calm, and loving.
What we want is the layout and space to do what needs doing. I don't need a refrigerator that can order my groceries or a wireless connection to turn on the oven (or whatever). I want usable counter and shelf space.
@@АртемДанилов-ъ4гвполне возможно что сначала мыли в мыльной воде, убирали на сушилку, а потом, когда все помыто, ополаскивали водой. Никто не мыл посуду под проточной водой как в ссср, потому что за воду платили
Wow this is just perfect in every way possible and in a small place they have planned everything. I like the garage disposer on the counter and slat/paper, timer on the wall most. It's genius. If only I had seen this before my kitchen renovation 😢😢
The ring of that telephone reminds me of my beloved grandma. She’s been gone a long time now. She also had that same yellow dinette set. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
As I remembered my grandmother’s kitchen was a perfect triangle in it. It was style in the late 60’s before I was born. She had counter space to work with near her stove. The sink was under a window on one wall and the fridge that was another wall. She had 2 door ways in the kitchen. 1 towards the dining room and the other is to the outside and the basement. Her house was built in the 1930’s. It was a small house. She did kept it tidy.
This looks futuristic even now with stunning and ergonomic design. Perfect for 2023, especially places for paper or tablet with recipes or youtube cooking channel.

Beautiful color work. Really enjoyed this! I think I discovered this video 5 o4 6 years ago. As a side note: at one time, in the early through mid-century, during the height of the "home economics" era kitchen science was just that - kitchen science. It was a true scientific study. The principles outlined in this video are still useful and sensible today. But we have been so overloaded with corporate advertising constantly insisting that we need to drop $70,000 or $100,000 grand every 3-5 years on a gut job and remodel so our kitchen is "in fashion." I'd take this kitchen any day over a magazine kitchen - as much as I love some of them.
@@caitlinhickie2334 Yes, I agree. All the other versions I've seen on TH-cam were in color. But this looks the best of any I've seen. There was a lot of other clean up done on this one as well.
While I love the layout and the structure of the cabinets and appliances, I would do different colors and of course a different counter top material. I LOVE the hole in the counter for food scraps!!
I wish that I had a kitchen like that. I have never had as nice a kitchen as this one in the video. The counter garbage hatch is brilliant and I like the sunken boiling water thing on the stove.
This reminds me so much of my childhood home's kitchen, which was (as far as I remember) some kind of old way station from around the 1930s before it got built into the rest of the house a few decades later. The cabinets, big window and rotating storage- i think our spinners were mostly broken so my dad had like, fastened them down, but we used the ones by the windows near the top for all sorts of trinkets... It's just a little surreal to see that reflected here!
Some things in this video made me laugh because it’s so 20th century to say certain things. But the main aspect of the video was jaw dropping. The compact and rotating shelves make so much sense. There’s a formula and strategy to everything, I love it! Definitely have me some ideas for my kitchen!
I haven't enjoyed a video this much in some time ! The features are so clever, it makes my kitchen look ridiculously unelaborate. I can't believe how simple it looks yet so smart and efficient.
I like the potato cutting and cooking stations. The built in trash slot in the counter is nice as well. The towel drying rack is great too. Cool dry ingredient storage above the stove area as well....damn I want this kitchen.
This was considered very modern at the time. Imagine, a phone in the kitchen! A refrigerator! A blender and a Mixer! Revolving kitchen cabinets! My grandmother didn't have this luxury. She used a very traditional kitchen burner using logs and she didn't have an icebox or even a phone.
I wonder the cost of the electricity in that house. The fridge itself would take a lot. This was very modern. My grandparents had charcoals and woods too to cook, and cleaning the dishes were not easy.
My gradma still use the traditional kitchen till the 90s. I used to help her lit the fire. Time consuming but the food was good. We did bought her stove but she usually prefers that.
This is what home economics science was all about. If I had a kitchen like this, I might actually learn to cook --- & like it! Every aspect is pure genius! 👏
This kitchen design is far better design than a modern kitchen. Why modern kitchens don't have an option to have these features. I think they are brilliant.
Everything was so much better organized and convenient than what's offered today. Now it seems like everyone is more concerned with how modern it looks than how practical it is. The only problem with those great cabinets back then was that they would easily rust. But today, we could fix that issue. Bring those wonderful kitchens back! 😅
I would give anything to have a kitchen like that! I have many medical issues that prevent me from lifting and bending and this design is excellent for those who need many things easily accessible. Well done and practical! ❤
I would love the organization of this kitchen! I love the long lazy Suzan cabinets for dishes and she has so many utensils and nothing is out on the counter but the mixer! I need this in my future life. I have hardly any storage in my kitchen now.
It alwaysleaves me scratching my head trying to understand what the logic was behind moving away from so many of these practical kitchen ideas. Some needed a little tweaking or revision but, for the most part, they were good. Fortunately, in fairly recent decades, some of them have made a comeback in one form or another.
I do really like the vertical pan storage and having equipment for each activity grouped together. I wish we were still thinking about where to put long handled pans! Bring back counter height lazy susans for sure, and the rolling desk is nice too. But I think these ideas needed more than a little tweaking. All those foods stored in the cubbies behind the stove would melt/degrade from the heat and maybe get wet and moldy, and all those pans above the stove and anything on those open shelves would be COVERED in grease-- the only thing that should be above a stove is a hood. Dish towels can't dry when they're shoved in a cabinet, and there's no lid on the garbage hatch-- taking that out constantly would take more time than having it there would save. And I'm so confused about "most women prefer to work right to left". Was that even true back then? And the counter tops are waaaay shallow all the way around because they've sacrificed so much space to the big bins. But most of all is the fact that it's an absolute pantry moth fiesta. I have all my dry goods in sealed plastic containers after learning the hard way, and getting them out of that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare once they got in. I like the thoughtfulness of the layout a lot more than I like the actual execution.
I think in this day and age...people really don't spend much time cooking...I know very few people who CAN cook...let alone manage a kitchen. Sad. But true.
I've always wished to be able to visit and see late 40's and 50's America. Everything looks so familiar yet so weird at the same time, kinda like a liminal space. Hope someone makes a timemachine without timeline altering consequence lol. Great video!
I love so much about this. I think that we could accommodate a lot of these ideas in modern cabinetry to be sure that insects, dust, and mold don't attack food. But I gotta say, I think that deep well steamer/cooker *in* the stovetop is genius. Keeps having to have an extra pot around. It's hard to look at the fit and finish here. This is a test kitchen, so perhaps they weren't so concerned to make sure that cuts were even and that things fit well. But all that tacked-on metal edging looks so cheap - and so many of the interior corners with that design would be just about impossible to keep clean. All in all - I think this could be fitted into a modern kitchen using modern concepts of sanitation and ease of cleaning. Great ideas for efficiency for a small kitchen with one person doing the work.
Oh my God! This is so similar to the kitchen of my family home. I didn't know how perfect it is until I saw this. I am going backwards. I am sorry mom and dad. EVERY day I learn how great both of you were.
I must say,this kitchen is very good. It does have very useful cupboards,drawers,cupboard doors,etc. I love it,i would really love to have a kitchen like that.
I still have a 1962 KitchenAid mixer that I use for all my baking, I found it in our church basement and I was able to keep it, it weighs a ton but still works great, modern attachments actually fit it as well so I bought a whisk and dough hook.
It really wasn't that long ago... only like 73 years. It just feels like it was because we starting to lose those people in our lives connected to it. But yes, this is Vintage so it's still Modern compared to say a Dinosaur. We still got Kitchen Aids that look like that Today.
1949 was still known as the 20th Century, not the19th; I was born in 1949 and looking at this kitchen, it was much better equipped than my mother's or my Grandma's kitchen. I was born in the UK and we didn't own a refrigerator, only a pantry to keep food cold. We never came down with food poisoning. My mother bought produce daily so it was always fresh, and we didn't have a telephone in the house, nor did we have a car. We travelled everywhere by bus or tram and had a happy life.
Now this is a real chef’s kitchen. How I would have loved to live during this awesome generation. To all the baby boomers & above I love and appreciate you so much. May God bless you.
I absolutely love this kitchen. It's so functional. Back then they made appliances to last. I remember buying my Mom, a Sears, washing machine for Mother's day, I was 21 yrso. It lasted 33 yrs. We only had to change a rubber band 3 times. They just don't make anything to last these days. Cars were like tanks. Today's cars if you lean too much on it you have a dent. I miss the good old days.
For everyone worried about rinsing the dishes....it wasn't shown, but they were rinsed. The narrator said they were scalded and dried. That is when boiling water is poured over them, both rinsing them and sanitizing them. Some people chose to let them air dry, some would dry them with a clean towel.
What a pain in the ass that must have been. So she had to have a pot of boiling water on the stove to pour over the dishes in the rack... splashing scalding water everywhere and probably had to do the dishes in batches. No wonder they didn't film that scene.
One of the reasons why modern kitchens are so different than this is because far less scratch cooking is done - now we use a lot of semi prepared foods that mostly require a little mixing and maybe 15-20 minutes or less of heating.
A lot of people no longer have the time to properly cook. Maybe on the weekend, but who wants to spend their days off preparing meals for the week? It's rather a shame, too. For medical reasons, I have to do my own food prep and cooking, and there are some nifty recipes available. Using prepackaged stuff means missing out on unique, tasty meals.
Wow this video quality is fantastic, I love older kitchens. Especially the late 40s through the 50s, they designed the best kitchens. The appliances are better and well built, where did all of this go? Why did people decide they didn’t like this? I love it. I have a fridge in my garage that we use for drinks and the freezer space that works so well still. The one inside the house had to be replaced and even the new fancy one is already having problems.

Do you see, at 6:45, the way the pan of potatoes is sitting right inside the range?
That was a common feature of the first couple decades of electric stoves that was called a "Deep Well Cooker"...it was literally a pot-shaped well sunken into the rangetop, with thickly insulated walls, and the heating coil at the bottom,
And came with a covered pot that fit perfectly into it, with little raised handles.
Some conpanies offered extra pots with metal dividers, meant to hold more than one kind of vegetable, etc.
The Deep Well had multiple purposes: you could use it for deep frying or boiling, and it was more secure than having a pan sitting on top of the range.... No pan handles sticking off the side, and it couldn't accidentally be knocked over! Helpful for the busy mother of young children.
It was also meant to be more efficient: you could set it on very low and use it like a crockpot, or set it on high for rapid cooking.
Last but nor least, because it was so well insulated, it was perfect for preparing meals in summertime without heating your whole kitchen too much.
(Considering this was when very few homes had any kind of air conditioning, that would have been a boon, and even now, would save a lot of energy)
You could have a cut of meat and veggies packed in there, cook everything up on low heat, and then,
after dishing the meal out onto your servingware, fill the pot with cold water to absorb the heat from the pan.
Unfortunately, if stuff spilled, they xoyuld be a bit difficult to clean from what I understand, and the very large families of the 50s and 60s often meant people would rather have another coil because rheu were making big portions of everything.
They're a pretty cool historical detail, though. When growing up, I partly learned to cook from a very old paperback cookbook for housewives using "the new electric kitchen!" and they explained it, and had whole meal plans that incorporated it and showed you how to use it in various ways.
THANK YOU for this!! 😊😊😊
@@TheFunctionalForce You're super welcome!
When I was a young teen cooking from very old cookbooks, I found them fascinating so I did some research. In a way, they had some of the same functions as an instant pot.
Thank you for the information. I would still love one!
We had a deep well at one time. It acted very much like a slow cooker (I'm ancient)
@@AutumnFalls89 Me too, honestly
The most interesting thing about this is the speed at which she is working. I’d kill to be that chilled out!

Barbiturates were very easily available in that time period, and many women were given them to keep them complacent. They even had a catchy little name: Mother's Little Helper.
Calm mind.--My Mom was like this, until 1968 when things really shifted. --It is a marvelous kitchen.
Good woman😊
This was mid stage capitalism, before everybody and their mothers had to have 4 jobs to get by and families were more in tact...extended families, and we weren't so overscheduled...
OMG! I found my dream kitchen! With the exception of the paint job. The 1940s can keep that, but I want this kitchen!!!!!😍
What paintjob would you like?
Why is this kind of kitchen not a thing anymore!! This is the most organized thing I've ever seen and I wish I had a kitchen like this!
I think a kitchen like this would still work for today. Maybe a few tweaks here and there but it’s set up so well. I love it.
💫💫💫💫💯💯💯💯
Honestly the only tweak I think would be nice is the paper towel roll being somewhere outside of the cabinet (in the open). It'd make quickly cleaning up spills easier
If it had a dishwasher in it I would he in heaven!
The 40s/50s technology and architecture/facilities were on another level…
Anyone else wish that this was their kitchen? ❤
Yep
Yes
no
no. you really gonna let your flour and sugar sit there in that cupboard?
Yes, I want it and the dinner, too!
What i love about those old media (movies / music / radio) is how soft spoken and well articulated the people were.
No slurring of words, fast paced rapid fire sentences or emotional outbursts.

Great comment. I agree.

My grandma's house still has a working refrigerator from the 1950's... it actually has outlived her. This is obviously before planned obsolescence!
what happened too it now?
My sister has a 1948 Frigidaire in her basement. It’s from our parents and still works. The door gasket has been replaced numerous times and the motor redone at least three times, but it’s still in use!
@@mariekatherine5238that's great... Things made to be fixed, not made for the landfill. My microwave started acting funny after only 2 months of use. The cost to repair would be more than a new one. And fixing it alone risks death because of the materials inside. What a shame
Any fridge made before 1960 is actually more energy efficient than modern fridges. In the 60s they added things like self defrost, and other things.
I know a fridge from the 50’s still working
I love the innocent evolution of the kitchen... but the ants, insects and roaches had a field day accessing the sugar, flour and vegetables. But needless to say it was well thought of back in the days and that is honestly how kitchens evolved. Love the quality of the video.. I really appreciate the time spent in restoring and sharing this video. Thanks for posting
🪳🪳🪳
The insects would only be an issue in some areas of the country. Roaches shouldn’t be a problem anywhere if you clean your kitchen.
@ FirstNameLastName-wt5to Lol People who live in the Southern US know that no matter how clean your kitchen is, Palmetto Bugs aka giant roaches that refuse to die will find their way in.
I can relate to the bug concern living in central Florida due to tropical weather being constant. No matter how clean you keep your house it's something you have to always be diligent about. But with today's technology applied to storage combined with this kitchen design would be my dream kitchen! I love how the stove has a bin for steaming veggies!
@@lakeireland Palmetto bugs are only a problem if you have moisture problems in your home.
in 1949 they had better kitchens than I have in 2024
Kitchens now are designed to look good for others. Not to actually work and cook in.
I cannot count the number of times my jaw dropped at the so simple yet genius shortcut designs of this kitchen!
Pretty futuristic for 1949. Especially with the vegetable storage areas.
This is slightly before the surge in popularity of canned and frozen vegetables. That's why I think a lot of these ideas never caught on - not because they were bad ideas, they were great ideas, but because suddenly it became modern and space-age and 'healthy' to eat processed foods rather than cook from scratch.
The vegetable. Storage and sugar and flour storage right at your fingertips.
You'd want to (re)design them so that they had securable lids covering them too. Without such lids, mice would have a feast without you even seeing them.
My grandmother earned a home economics university diploma in the 1940s and her kitchen in the 1980s to 2000s still incorporated some of the space saving concepts in this video.
Which features from the video did she still use?
Ughhhi wish I could get something like that
This is the most practical design i ever have seen
This is exactly the kind of kitchen that I want 💯 Props to the designers, back then. It still looks contemporary... So chic and practical!
Прошло почти 75 лет, а ничего лучше ещё не придумали! Идеальная кухня! Просто невероятно, что это 1949 год! Я родилась в 1977 году в Москве, домашний телефон и обычный миксер у нас появились, когда я уже училась в школе!
Wow! I would love a kitchen like this with all the built-ins. What we have lost 60+ years!
Era Buit ins are bug magnets.. But GOOGLE built ins.. They do so many even Herb growing cabinet
@@AMPProf Maintain your house properly and you won't have bugs in it.
Built ins for airtight storage containers would be amazing.
And @ neoasura sometimes you can do so and still get infestations. Partner and I kept our own place clean, neighbors deserted their place furniture and food included and caused our previously fine apartment to have roaches that came through wall outlets/air vents/baseboards ect. It was horrific and I'm glad to be out of there.
When we moved into our first home (1950's track home) that same electric stove was sitting in the garage covered by a sheet. We cleaned it up, looked good as new and worked perfectly. We used it for the years we lived there. When we sold the house the couple moving in asked to buy it but we just let them have it. We became good friends and 20 years later they still have the stove. Works perfectly. Talk about quality.
I've been told by repairmen of the day that they built appliances to last a life time. Every component was made to be replaced or repaired so the whole unit didn't need to go into the dump. We Americans used to take pride in long-lasting and reliable products. Alas. That's all over now.
After my parents passed away I took over their 1950s house (I took it over in 1998 when mom died) and the house still had the original stove (the one pictured in this video, minus the boiling pot inset), I just replaced the stove in 2016 when I could no longer get the oven heating element anymore. I'd likely still have the stove if I could have replaced that heating element, it was a damn good stove that raised a family of 8 then a family of 5, two generations.
Because everything is computerized now and malfunctions easily. Either that or it's made in China.
I have a Samsung stove and above counter microwave that was purchased July 2020. The digital numbers on the stove are going haywire. Flashing and flickering and just noticed this week parts of the numbers on the microwave have gone out.
Back then is when good quality products were made meant to last a life time,might i add simple and easy as well.Nowadys almost everything is computerized you have to type in your setting on a little keyboard,whereas back then you just turned the knob and you were ready to cook,and don't even get me started on the instruction manuals for these new stoves might as well be written in greek.
The woman's dress reminds me my grandma used to wear dresses like that until her very last day of life. Beautiful, I miss you so much, I am sorry for everything I've done wrong...
I love how the lady is cooking so slowly, calmly. No stress, i love it.
I'm only twenty yet I feel so envious of the kitchen, nothing needs an internet connection or software update just to cook some potatoes, it seems so wonderful
My mind is blown every 20 seconds watching this!!! Things just made sense and were so focused on flow and functionality.
I actually just bought myself a barstool for the kitchen because back pain has caused me to avoid standing at the counter to prepare meals for any reasonable length of time. I thought it was such a wacky idea because I never see someone sitting to do kitchen tasks until this video 😂
My grandma moved a little quicker than the woman in the add She baked, canned, and cooked great meals. She was a full time nurse and kept what we called borders. I couldn't walk in her shoes for one day. She had a pink kitchen much like this one, always so clean. My grandma, my hero. Love to all the ladies that didn't have today's luxuries and still spoiled us. Thank you for posting.
This is my first time i saw this video. The organization in the kitchen is very clearly, easy to see and choose the ingredients to cook. 1949 that the US was like this. Countries in Europe are very developed compared to our Asian countries. Someday, I will arrive to U.S and learn more knowledge and also speak English too much to get better.
I want kitchen like this! 😍 so practical for someone who cooks every day.
Those drawers under the window are genius for apartment living, the whole kitchen is so practical.
🇨🇦 why can’t we have kitchens like this in our homes today? I would love a kitchen like this!
because women decided they wanted to slave for the man instead of serve their families
Потому что сейчас другие цели!))
Раньше думали о людях, удобстве, а сейчас каждый хочет сделать что-то как можно дешевле, а продать как можно дороже!
Maybe because nowdays women have not so much time to do things so quietly....

@@JessicaVanderhoff omg Bugs are born out of dust balls we can never see
I recognize nearly all those appliances: the Mixmaster, the flour sifter even the wooden rolling pin. Am still in the house built by my parents in 1950. Yes, we even had same table and chairs.
Thanks for showing this.
Cool!
I can’t believe that it was more than 70 years ago, movements are so slow, but my grandmother couldn’t even dream about such comforting.
This explains why my grandma didnt want to change her old kitchen, she loved to be in her kitchen and was able to prepare a lot of meals in a short span of time, her old kitchen was so efficient, well designed and cleaning was also a breeze. Miss you grandma😢
And look at that lovely dessert she made for her family. All at the table. No one complaining they don’t like this or that. No electronics. No tv. Just mom and dad and kids. How safe, calm, and loving.
Всё новое, это хорошо забытое старое.
Отличная кухня! Всё продумано. Сейчас есть все эти придумки, но не в одеой кухне сразу.
I would take those kitchen hacks and innovations over all the "smart this" and "bluetooth that" which are the supposed kitchen improvements of today!
What we want is the layout and space to do what needs doing. I don't need a refrigerator that can order my groceries or a wireless connection to turn on the oven (or whatever). I want usable counter and shelf space.
Чем больше я смотрю, тем больше поражаюсь, насколько гениальная кухня!!

Wow this is just perfect in every way possible and in a small place they have planned everything. I like the garage disposer on the counter and slat/paper, timer on the wall most. It's genius. If only I had seen this before my kitchen renovation 😢😢
The storage is heavenly, everything is neatly tucked away, for some who cooks and bakes a lot this is like a dream!!
How creative they are with storage behind sink. As a person who doesn't like to show washing supplies this is awesome.
The ring of that telephone reminds me of my beloved grandma. She’s been gone a long time now. She also had that same yellow dinette set. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
As I remembered my grandmother’s kitchen was a perfect triangle in it. It was style in the late 60’s before I was born. She had counter space to work with near her stove. The sink was under a window on one wall and the fridge that was another wall. She had 2 door ways in the kitchen. 1 towards the dining room and the other is to the outside and the basement. Her house was built in the 1930’s. It was a small house. She did kept it tidy.
Triangle kitchen??!!
Triangle kitchen refers to the design triangle of sink fridge stove placement.
This looks futuristic even now with stunning and ergonomic design. Perfect for 2023, especially places for paper or tablet with recipes or youtube cooking channel.

Beautiful color work. Really enjoyed this! I think I discovered this video 5 o4 6 years ago. As a side note: at one time, in the early through mid-century, during the height of the "home economics" era kitchen science was just that - kitchen science. It was a true scientific study. The principles outlined in this video are still useful and sensible today. But we have been so overloaded with corporate advertising constantly insisting that we need to drop $70,000 or $100,000 grand every 3-5 years on a gut job and remodel so our kitchen is "in fashion." I'd take this kitchen any day over a magazine kitchen - as much as I love some of them.
This looks like it was filmed in colour to me, not colorized. Color film was not uncommon in 1949.
@@caitlinhickie2334 Yes, I agree. All the other versions I've seen on TH-cam were in color. But this looks the best of any I've seen. There was a lot of other clean up done on this one as well.
While I love the layout and the structure of the cabinets and appliances, I would do different colors and of course a different counter top material. I LOVE the hole in the counter for food scraps!!
@@SpotTheBorgCatI like the lazy Susan cupboards and the little drop-leaf table on casters.
I recognize that voice. she played Miss ‘Stonewall” Jackson in ‘Cover Girl”
I wish that I had a kitchen like that. I have never had as nice a kitchen as this one in the video. The counter garbage hatch is brilliant and I like the sunken boiling water thing on the stove.
Definitely🎉
I just love this kitchen! It is perfect! ❤ Whatever "modern" we have today, it has been already invented.
This reminds me so much of my childhood home's kitchen, which was (as far as I remember) some kind of old way station from around the 1930s before it got built into the rest of the house a few decades later. The cabinets, big window and rotating storage- i think our spinners were mostly broken so my dad had like, fastened them down, but we used the ones by the windows near the top for all sorts of trinkets... It's just a little surreal to see that reflected here!
Omg this is literally an amazing kitchen! I’m so mad we don’t have this anymore
If I ever buy a house I need a slightly modernized kitchen based on this design!
This would literally be my dream kitchen!!
Some things in this video made me laugh because it’s so 20th century to say certain things.
But the main aspect of the video was jaw dropping. The compact and rotating shelves make so much sense. There’s a formula and strategy to everything, I love it! Definitely have me some ideas for my kitchen!
I haven't enjoyed a video this much in some time ! The features are so clever, it makes my kitchen look ridiculously unelaborate. I can't believe how simple it looks yet so smart and efficient.
I like the potato cutting and cooking stations. The built in trash slot in the counter is nice as well. The towel drying rack is great too. Cool dry ingredient storage above the stove area as well....damn I want this kitchen.
I want this kitchen so badly. I was born in 1949. That man looks like my Daddy. ❤❤❤
To be honest, I would love to have such a kitchen in 2022
This was considered very modern at the time. Imagine, a phone in the kitchen! A refrigerator! A blender and a Mixer! Revolving kitchen cabinets! My grandmother didn't have this luxury. She used a very traditional kitchen burner using logs and she didn't have an icebox or even a phone.
Logs? 🤣
@@lemurianchick My nana also used logs and charcoals at the time. Not everyone used gas burner especially here in Oz.
Gas burner and refrigerator were so expensive and luxurious back then.
I wonder the cost of the electricity in that house. The fridge itself would take a lot. This was very modern. My grandparents had charcoals and woods too to cook, and cleaning the dishes were not easy.
My gradma still use the traditional kitchen till the 90s. I used to help her lit the fire. Time consuming but the food was good. We did bought her stove but she usually prefers that.
😅 is it weird that this made me happy? I want a kitchen like that!!
Saving this for my future house cause everything is practical 😮
Best kitchen i have seen. So much practical n well use of each spot.
This is what home economics science was all about. If I had a kitchen like this, I might actually learn to cook --- & like it! Every aspect is pure genius! 👏
All those very convenient and organized elements make it look easy & even relaxing!
This kitchen design is far better design than a modern kitchen. Why modern kitchens don't have an option to have these features. I think they are brilliant.
Everything was so much better organized and convenient than what's offered today. Now it seems like everyone is more concerned with how modern it looks than how practical it is. The only problem with those great cabinets back then was that they would easily rust. But today, we could fix that issue. Bring those wonderful kitchens back! 😅
I would give anything to have a kitchen like that! I have many medical issues that prevent me from lifting and bending and this design is excellent for those who need many things easily accessible. Well done and practical! ❤
I would love the organization of this kitchen! I love the long lazy Suzan cabinets for dishes and she has so many utensils and nothing is out on the counter but the mixer! I need this in my future life. I have hardly any storage in my kitchen now.
I wish they still made kitchens like this!!
You so true
It alwaysleaves me scratching my head trying to understand what the logic was behind moving away from so many of these practical kitchen ideas. Some needed a little tweaking or revision but, for the most part, they were good. Fortunately, in fairly recent decades, some of them have made a comeback in one form or another.
I do really like the vertical pan storage and having equipment for each activity grouped together. I wish we were still thinking about where to put long handled pans! Bring back counter height lazy susans for sure, and the rolling desk is nice too. But I think these ideas needed more than a little tweaking. All those foods stored in the cubbies behind the stove would melt/degrade from the heat and maybe get wet and moldy, and all those pans above the stove and anything on those open shelves would be COVERED in grease-- the only thing that should be above a stove is a hood. Dish towels can't dry when they're shoved in a cabinet, and there's no lid on the garbage hatch-- taking that out constantly would take more time than having it there would save. And I'm so confused about "most women prefer to work right to left". Was that even true back then? And the counter tops are waaaay shallow all the way around because they've sacrificed so much space to the big bins. But most of all is the fact that it's an absolute pantry moth fiesta. I have all my dry goods in sealed plastic containers after learning the hard way, and getting them out of that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare once they got in. I like the thoughtfulness of the layout a lot more than I like the actual execution.
I think in this day and age...people really don't spend much time cooking...I know very few people who CAN cook...let alone manage a kitchen. Sad. But true.
@@bonkers5016 I would think that depends on the age of those you are including & their lifestyles.
@@6ixConfessions This is true.
Wow~! I wish my kitchen was as funcitonal as this one!
I have my husband's greatgrandmothers cubbord like this lady is using with the flour & sugar bin. I LOVE IT!!!!
I want that kitchen!!! The storage and cabinetry are amazing. The corner turn cabinets, and the pull down bins especially.
I've always wished to be able to visit and see late 40's and 50's America. Everything looks so familiar yet so weird at the same time, kinda like a liminal space. Hope someone makes a timemachine without timeline altering consequence lol.
Great video!

Film making is the closest thing to a time machine we have. You can see them without altering their timeline.
@@starshollowct Smh! Nvm
It looks weird because adults were in charge and society worked as it should.
I love so much about this. I think that we could accommodate a lot of these ideas in modern cabinetry to be sure that insects, dust, and mold don't attack food. But I gotta say, I think that deep well steamer/cooker *in* the stovetop is genius. Keeps having to have an extra pot around.
It's hard to look at the fit and finish here. This is a test kitchen, so perhaps they weren't so concerned to make sure that cuts were even and that things fit well. But all that tacked-on metal edging looks so cheap - and so many of the interior corners with that design would be just about impossible to keep clean.
All in all - I think this could be fitted into a modern kitchen using modern concepts of sanitation and ease of cleaning. Great ideas for efficiency for a small kitchen with one person doing the work.

This is so similar to the kitchen of my family home. I didn't know how perfect it is until I saw this.
I am going backwards.
I am sorry mom and dad. EVERY day I learn how great both of you were.
I must say,this kitchen is very good. It does have very useful cupboards,drawers,cupboard doors,etc. I love it,i would really love to have a kitchen like that.
Τhis video is a must watch for anyone planning to build/renovate a home!
Wish i had seen it before i made mine...
I still have a 1962 KitchenAid mixer that I use for all my baking, I found it in our church basement and I was able to keep it, it weighs a ton but still works great, modern attachments actually fit it as well so I bought a whisk and dough hook.
Seeing this in color really makes it seems like this wasn’t that long ago.
Me too.
It really wasn't that long ago... only like 73 years. It just feels like it was because we starting to lose those people in our lives connected to it. But yes, this is Vintage so it's still Modern compared to say a Dinosaur.
We still got Kitchen Aids that look like that Today.

I was born Feb, 1949 it's nice to see a kitchen which is better than those of today.
This is fabulous. I would love this kitchen. Beautiful planning.
1949 was still known as the 20th Century, not the19th; I was born in 1949 and looking at this kitchen, it was much better equipped than my mother's or my Grandma's kitchen. I was born in the UK and we didn't own a refrigerator, only a pantry to keep food cold. We never came down with food poisoning. My mother bought produce daily so it was always fresh, and we didn't have a telephone in the house, nor did we have a car. We travelled everywhere by bus or tram and had a happy life.
And she works so calmly and quietly too.
I WANT THIS!!! if I had a house, I want extra money just too have a redue kitchen to be as practical as this!
Now this is a real chef’s kitchen. How I would have loved to live during this awesome generation. To all the baby boomers & above I love and appreciate you so much. May God bless you.
We need to bring this kitchen back, I'm all for it!
Очень удобная кухня, эти шкафчики так практичны.
I bet that refrigerator still functions as well as it did 70 years ago lol
And looks very cool for 1949! Only in the 2000s did we switch from a cube-like one to one of a new design like the one in this video has!
One of my brothers has our parents 50s refrigerator in his basement chilling beer.
I have an EASY brand clothes washer from the 1920s.
Yup, I actually use it.
I have a 1939 electric crown stove top and oven, the oven is great for baking.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy videos of kitchens from the past.
I absolutely love this kitchen. It's so
functional. Back then they made appliances to last. I remember buying
my Mom, a Sears, washing machine for
Mother's day, I was 21 yrso. It lasted
33 yrs. We only had to change a rubber
band 3 times. They just don't make anything to last these days. Cars were
like tanks. Today's cars if you lean too
much on it you have a dent. I miss the
good old days.

For everyone worried about rinsing the dishes....it wasn't shown, but they were rinsed. The narrator said they were scalded and dried. That is when boiling water is poured over them, both rinsing them and sanitizing them. Some people chose to let them air dry, some would dry them with a clean towel.
I caught that as well! I kept wondering if she was going to rinse them...and then they said she did!!!
What a pain in the ass that must have been. So she had to have a pot of boiling water on the stove to pour over the dishes in the rack... splashing scalding water everywhere and probably had to do the dishes in batches. No wonder they didn't film that scene.
@@jadedone6900 Amen!!🤣
Regardless, beautiful kitchen in its day and today as well
70 anos atrás e eles tinham uma cozinha muito mais prática que a minha.
Sim, e a minha também, a América na década de 1950 era muito voltada para praticidade e organização.
One of the reasons why modern kitchens are so different than this is because far less scratch cooking is done - now we use a lot of semi prepared foods that mostly require a little mixing and maybe 15-20 minutes or less of heating.
A lot of people no longer have the time to properly cook. Maybe on the weekend, but who wants to spend their days off preparing meals for the week?
It's rather a shame, too. For medical reasons, I have to do my own food prep and cooking, and there are some nifty recipes available. Using prepackaged stuff means missing out on unique, tasty meals.
Wow this video quality is fantastic, I love older kitchens. Especially the late 40s through the 50s, they designed the best kitchens. The appliances are better and well built, where did all of this go? Why did people decide they didn’t like this? I love it. I have a fridge in my garage that we use for drinks and the freezer space that works so well still. The one inside the house had to be replaced and even the new fancy one is already having problems.
