Vintage Kitchen Commercial

 I  love vintage things and the older I get the more I appreciate the things my mother and grandmothers used in their homes.  Most everything back then was made in the USA.  I am now collecting several makers of dinnerware made in the USA and specifically California.    

This past weekend I helped my son ( he does web commercials) with a commercial for a new product called Batter Blaster.   He's doing this for fun as part of  a competition.  Batter Blaster is such a fun product and delicious too,  it's literally pancake mix in a can and you just squirt it onto a pancake grill.  ( Like a Redi-whip can)  No mixing and no mess!  What houswife wouldn't love that....I already sound like the commercial -and no I'm not getting

 paid to say that!  LOL

 

He wanted to film in a vintage 1960's kitchen.  My neighbor is a real estate agent and had told me about an adorable home she has listed ....complete with a vintage PINK kitchen and she was nice enough to get approval  for him to use it for the shoot. 

 The kitchen just made us smile when we arrived!  Not often do you see a pink kitchen and  we were in awe that it is original.   I felt like I had been taken back to my granma's kitchen, complete with the speckled formica countertops.  The dishwasher may have possibly been added in the 70's ...but it was pink too!  Even the sink was pink!

All the appliances were in working order...check out the pink stovetop with push-button control panel!  Too cute!!  

The pinkest oven I've ever seen!!

Of course I couldn't wait to do a tablescape with vintage dishes and accessories..I appointed myself the Prop-master and my son  and I had a blast shopping for the proper vintage kitchen accessories.  

I took him to my usual bargain stores and we found everything we needed for a vintage 1960's kitchen within 2 hours.  I think our grand total was less than $50.00 for everything we purchased. 

His friend Heather looked adorable in Lucy-ish polka dot dress and apron.   The perfect little housewife...I just love those pearls!

White Sheffield  dinnerware  (made in the USA) graced the breakfast table.  I bought an entire set for $5.00 at Goodwill.  We were able to find a vintage syrup dispenser for a few dollars at an antique mall.   I found the vintage tablecloth in an antique store while on a trip to Florida last year.  The dining chairs
 were $25.00 for both...I'll resale them in a garage sale.  LOL 

Old metal canisters, a pyrex Americana bowl,  an  old 1960's cookbook for $1 and mixer complete our staged kitchen.    

What fun we had...I'll post the completed commerical when he finishes the editing process.   

Stay tuned!
