Cute Kitsch Kitchen Preserved Perfectly Since 1956, Proving Old Is Gold

Most people will renovate their home at least once in their lifetime. But when no one has actually lived in a house, what then? When furniture craftsman Nathan Chandler purchased a 1956 home, he didn’t actually think it would be preserved perfectly from that year. But it was. No one had lived there since it was built (the reasons have never been disclosed). What he got was original early 60s kitsch — in pretty pink!

This kitsch kitchen is exactly as it was when the house was built more than 50 years ago. We love the pink!

The kitchen as a whole, just as it appeared when the house was built more than 50 years ago. The theme is pink!

The burners on the electric stove also came with silver caps for when they weren’t in use.

Why don’t they build stove controls like this anymore?!

I really want a pink oven now.

Attention to detail means a pink clock.

Even the clock in pink!

The kitchen sports a full line of glorious pink appliances and countertops, plus swivel chairs and a glass chandelier. The General Electric appliances still included their owner manuals, and there was even complimentary dishwasher powder (unopened).

Strangely, Chandler opted to sell these awesome kitchen pieces. We guess pink didn’t really fit his colour scheme.
