Pull out cutting board built in under the counter. Much like the rolling pin idea. Our postvwar home i grew upmin the first 8 yrs of my life had one. Svaed counter space in tiny kitchen.

This is a rip-off of another presenter.

We have a wall-mounted can opener in our basement (for some reason). My grandmother used it when she was still alive. I don’t believe it’s been used in years because going down to the basement to open cans is a hassle. This house was built in the 1950s.

Always the big wheel with the missing pedal

people cooked so much more then

That's a pie-safe, not a Meat-safe where I'm from.

Now I do live the South East part of the usa, but I have never been in a hotel that DIDNT supply us with a Bible.

We built our house 18 years ago. Having had a pull down ironing board in the 1928 farm house we lived in I put one in my laundry room. It’s convenient and out of the way when not needed. I don’t use it much as dewrinkler is one of my best friends.

$495…FOR A MICROWAVE…IN 1967

I was a docent at the Stranahan House in Fort lauderdale, and Ivy's kitchen only had an ice box. She was very poor~

By the way, i'm the male in my home. I fly heavy jets for living, and my wife is a realtor; I still to all the ironing.....

My house was built in 1959, and it had a "booth" built into the kitchen were three people could eat breakfast. I guess.... The original owner sold the home in 2000, and he had the master bedroom subdivided into storage rooms. Someone in the neighborhood told me he had a "sling" set up in the back bedroom; The previous owner bought it as the WORST house in the neighborhood in 2000 and remodeled it into the best. Then his wife came down with cancer and died; He was a Jehovah's Witness and took up with a woman a few years later who turned out to be a whore; She was walking drunk up and down the street a few years later asking people what the thought the house was worth 30 days after she had married him. He fired her, and we wound up with the place. Women have two sets of teeth. One in their mouth, and another somewhere else.....

3:43 - Clue!

I'm always going to ❤ Barbie 😊

In Australia they did have metal mesh meat safes but they used either wet cloth or ice to keep it cool.

Dining nooks should be a thing again ❤

I didn’t realize central vacs were out of style - my house is relatively new and has one - super convenient and not really much more expensive than a regular one

Breakfast/Dining nooks are being included in some house plans.👍🏻❤️

Central vacuums were popular where I live in the 1980s and 90s.

the parlor is still a thing here in Saudi Arabia , we call it "majles" , it's where we have our special guests or when we want more privacy with the guests (since there are hijabi women who can take off their hijab)

Linoleum has asbestos in it. Yeah, that's eco-friendly! 🙄

The way they dressed was immaculate! If we miss it, it’s up to us to bring it back. About to go to the grocery store but dressed like I’m going to church! (:

I think milk doors could have been repurposed to receive packages as a means to prevent theft. The dumbwaiter is also a cool way to get stuff up and down a building without having to take stairs or elevators, especially if there's someone else on the receiving end. Saves you trips. Also, not in the list but I think every apartment building should have a trash chute that is emptied weekly by a company.

I feel like meat-safes probably had a very unique odor.

My grandparents house had a little door on the side of the house where the milkman could put fresh milk bottles in it. Another door opened right into the kitchen. It got sealed up and some point (probably because small children like myself definitely tried to climb in there)

Built in oven/stove timers and pull down iron boards seem like a great idea.

I pulled my kitchen out all together. The fridge and freezer is in the garage and I never use an oven. I have a small toaster oven and hot plate that I use as needed and a microwave that is all stored together in a closet. I have an outdoor grill plumbed into my natural gas line and that’s what I use for grilling and an insta pot for other things. Kitchens are really just a waste of space if you are single.

I want a drop-down ironing board in my laundry room. They make so much sense.

There's a milk door, bread board, and ironing board closet in my old home. I had to be told by my dad what the bread board was, and this video finally helped me figure out what this weird little door is.

Indoor smoking. Almost everywhere.

My house has the original kitchen and bath with only the appliances having been updated. I love the vintage look and practicality, but there are also a few modern surprises. Tile counter tops, a lined bread/flour drawer, and just enough space for a small table and 2-3 chairs in the kitchen. There is no formal dining room. A shower separate from the tub and both fully encased in tiles. That concept didn't become popular until after 2010. Also, a root cellar area in the basement, concrete block walls that divide the basement almost identically to the main floor and provide support to the main level without need of a king beam and posts, and a full seven feet between the floor and joists in the basement make for plenty of useful space below grade.

I love the idea of the breakfast nook! So cute

Sorry to disappoint you the iceblock fridge still exist - we have one but I guess not used for now 70 years or from when my grandparent had her first new technology fridge -what i mean - its not extinct and can be used when the lake freezes over and new as when last tused

Ah yes I remembered that from previous life. Too bad they are gone forever.

Post WW II tech progress made life easier for homemakers. For families. The following generation came and said housewives are slaves. What a sad, rotten world we live in now.

When I was growing up in the mid 50's-early 70's, our apartment had a clothes drying rack mounted on the ceiling that could be raised and lowered by a pulley. Mom used it on days the weather was too cold or wet to hand clothes outside to dry. We also had a built in clothes hamper in the bathroom. Built ins are so practical and attractive! I can't understand why they've gone out of favor. My grandparents lived in a much older building (probably circa 1890's) and they had what they called an chiller. It was a metal box affixed to the outside wall underneath the kitchen window and was used to keep things cold especially in winter.

I grew up in a house that had a central vacuum cleaners as the house already had it when my parents bought it. Every room had an plug that you can connect the vacuum hose.

Some of these features i could definitely see coming back (breakfast nook, drop-down ironing board), whereas i can see why some were outmoded (central vacuum, wall-mounted can oppener)

The central vacuum system was invented earlier. The Peles castle in Romania (built in 1883) had/has one. It was the most modern building in the world at that time.

If you need to do your personal business you go outside to the outhouse.

There was a time hotels provided Ethernet jacks. Now WiFi is provided.

That Googie style was nice.

The old kitchen thing i remember was top quality, backyard cultivated vegetables, eggs, milk and meat. We eat trash nowdays.

That central vacuum system is crazy. I remember seeing these in retro cartoons, and was always confused by how that worked. It’s crazy to think how rich people were in the 50s, that they could afford a massive gadget like that to be installed throughout the house. now we have cheaper alternatives, where that’s extra disposable income we should have left 🤔😭

I grew up the the central vacuum cleaner in the home

Nana always called the refrigerator the ice box ❤ it got to the point where she had us saying it too. She was born in 1916 now everything made sense… the terminology she used when she was explaining things sounded ancient!

Ben Franklin's and Piggy Wiggly 🐷 I

I don’t know about then and the US but linoleum is NOT durable these days, easily tears and deteriorates. I grew up in a house with linoleum on the kitchen. I currently have a stove from my partners grandmother from the 50’s and it’s a nightmare to deal with.

It seems like whoever made the video didn't actually know what the writer meant by "smoking rooms". What the writer was talking about is regular guest rooms where smoking was permitted and ashtrays and matches were provided. When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s, there was no such thing as a "no smoking" room. All the rooms had ashtrays. Then, probably sometime in the 80s, hotels started offering "no smoking" rooms. I think it was sometime in the 2000s that hotels started going totally non-smoking.

Born in 95 but loved playing my dads NES. Not sure what ever happened to it, but that duck hunt game was my favorite
