I Love Lucy's kitchen

6 years ago

I visited the Lucy Desi Museum today, where they have replicas of the Ricardos' apartment. This is the kitchen, reminds me of threelittlefishes' kitchen. That cheery yellow!

    The museum is in her hometown of Jamestown NY, and the picture didn't post from my phone. I'll try to get it up to the tablet at post it. I can't seem to post comments from my phone lately, darn it.

    It's a cheerier yellow in real life! For tv, though, it was shades of grey for better appearance on black-and-white tv.

    I really like the wide cabinets at the back!

    note the window over the range...with curtains! Yikes!

    Oh, wow! Remember the one-pound-per-person rice disaster in the Job Switching (candy) episode!

    The violet shutters are... odd

    And that was Lucy's larger "open plan" kitchen. In the early seasons it looked like this. Note the "open shelving" and "peninsula". ;)

    Very neat! If I remember correctly, wasn't this supposed to be in a NYC apartment? Was it a penthouse or am I confusing it with another TV show of that era?
    On another note though- see not just open shelves and peninsula but color cabinets. looks so warm and cozy

    I watched part of last week's special that was colorized, and that kitchen was green! Yellowish green. Or greenish yellow? The men challenged to women to live without modern conveniences, and Lucy baked bread. She opened the oven and the monster loan just kept coming out, pushing her all the way across the room.

    I love this so much. I never tire of I Love Lucy, no matter if I've seen the episodes eleventy-hundred times already. The colorized special that aired recently where the girls decide to protest gender inequality contains what are probably my favorite lines of all time:


    Lucy/Ethel: "Ricky, Fred - we're revolting."

    Ricky (sideways glance at the girls): "No more than usual."

    It always used to amaze me when Lucy and Ricky would go into the kitchen to have a heated discussion away from their guests in the living room. All that was between them and their guests were those louvered shutters. They usually had their voices raised too (“Loo-cee! Splain!”). Yet the guests heard nothing. How??
