1957 Revco kitchen #5

 


California, the land of outdoor living, offers a fresh note in kitchen planning. Lost forever is the old-fashioned kitchen with its stark white appliances, separated from the rest of the house by barriers of walls and doors. In contrast—here under a spacious beam ceiling the copper-hooded open barbecue pit serves as a transitional wall between the open kitchen and the living room area of the house. The trend-setting interior textures, exterior brick, clay tile, the exposed wood beams, with all appliances recessed into the walls, provide a living room feeling to every area in this charming home. “Hot” cooking with the built-in pit and built-in oven, centers in a single eye-appealing unit. And a few steps away is the uniquely planned “cold” storage area where a Revco Bilt-In Refrigerator and Freezer, separated by a convenient loading counter, both are at eye and arm level. Note how the Antique Copper doors harmonize with the copper hood, providing a delightful color integration.
