Variations on a Theme: Harvest Gold

September 15, 2014 By Kendra Remington 1 Comment

I believe I mentioned that our home was built in 1971, but what I failed to mention was not only that Harvest Gold was a very popular color choice in the 70’s, but that it must also have been a personal favorite of the builder/original owner of our home. Just about anything that could be gold, is gold. And if it is in fact your favorite color, then there is absolutely no reason to change it for the next 43 years. Right? Right!

A few of my favorites:
The siding (Don’t even get me started about those shrubs!)
Harvest Gold Double SidingThe kitchen

Harvest Gold Stove

Harvest Gold Diswasher

Harvest Gold Refrigerator

Harvest Gold Double SInkThe bathroom

Harvest Gold Wall Tile

Harvest Gold Floor Tiles

Harvest Gold SInk

Harvest Gold Toilet

The decor

The Kitchen

The Stairs

Connor's Room

So what do you do when you are surrounded by Harvest Gold? You remove what you can and you learn to love the rest… and you call it “vintage”.

    Harvest gold is my favorite color. My parents 1963 split level house was originally white with black shutters but in 1969 they painted the house Sherwin Williams Harvest Gold and changed the shutters to white wrought iron with a “S” curve design. It was beautiful. Still beautiful all these years later. We now must have Harvest Gold paint custom mixed to get the genuine hue when we repaint the house but it’s worth it. I like your Harvest Gold bathroom sink. Our 1963 bathroom has what was called Sunny Yellow (a pale yellow) sink and tub. Wish it was Harvest Gold but Sunny Yellow was popular from 1961 to 1966 and Harvest Gold came out in 1967 (offered on most major appliances and bathroom sinks and tubs until about 1980). Long live my favorite color: Harvest Gold.

Once upon a time there was a family of five who lived in a roomy four bedroom colonial. One day when the children grew and began to live away from home, the parents said, “This house is too empty when the kids are gone, lets downsize”. This is their story…
