This is a real, untouched 1958 kitchen and I am obsessed. Robin’s Egg Blue appliances, matching counters, a working electric can opener, a dumbwaiter with a pink interior, a hidden accordion door, a pull-out three-tier serving cart, and enough secret compartments to make a spy jealous. Modern kitchens really... show more

Where's Alice?

love it (and we all remember homes which had kitchens like this... sigh!.... BTW, get a look at that "retirement plan" of Pyrex on the counter - a freakin' gold mine, for sure!)

Love that formica table and chairs!

@ken_kmak8542 It’s perfect. I live color & hate the all white trend.

I would NOT change a thing with the 1958 kitchen. I don't like the so called 'modern' kitchen designs/plans and sick of the industrial grey looking interiors/exteriors/open floor plans albeit on on homes/businesses etc..

These appliances are probably still working when modern appliances are broken when you buy them! We had an issue with a @KitchenAidUSA top of the line dishwasher that had a catastrophic failure and never worked. It died completely in less than 3 years.

@gracieback2 Keep it just as it is. But, I would like all pink!

i've kept a few kitchens like that over my life when i moved in, and why i moved in!

@MAGA_X_Times Why do we have junk now?😡

When you see something that has been maintained as this has, I would feel like I have to keep it, even if it’s not as functional as we would like today.

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so practical! We looked at a house with this extra kitchen but not as big, absolutely loved it and I would have kept everything in it!

This is the MOST amazing kitchen I've ever seen .... Why can't they make them like this today?!

Dear God, that voice is nails on chalkboard hideous. Dude, that's a serious sinus/adenoid issue.

That is my grandmother’s kitchen exactly- only her’s was Pink!!!

@Kohler brought back Peachblow (50’s pink) and several others!

I love this kitchen! I've had the hidden cutting boards and love them.

Keurig

@Sasse1950 Keep it exactly as is. It is perfect!

Oh dear. Who can possibly find this kitchen attractive? I lived through these sorts of kitchens and never thought them attractive.

Nice but having lived in a home with ovens like that, I would definitely switch the refrigerator and the ovens. You can grab a 25 lb turkey out of a refrigerator and safely cross the kitchen to a counter or table. You cannot take a 25 lb turkey out of an oven and carry it and the 350 degree drippings safely across the the kitchen. Have your wall oven. But also have a safe place nearby to put the hot stuff you take out of it.

My 1953 kitchen has the original steel cabinets (Youngstown Kitchens). They’re attractive and sturdy. They’ll outlast me and I will never replace them. If you like the style, go for it. It was a modern concept then and still is.

Love this. 😍

Where’s the orange shag carpet?

LEAVE AS IS

We need entrepreneurs to make appliances like these again! I bet they work perfectly! Let’s build appliances that last!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What is the thing with all the buttons on the counter?

Damn, that is beautiful

@dabitch can you believe these appliances 😮

@Sasse1950 @Architectolder ♥️

@GigaBeers Beautiful! Keep as much as you can.

Where is the ironing board cupboard. Always thought they were the neatest thing

I like it!

The blue is pretty but I don’t like the wood used for the cabinets. Just looks wrong with the blue and sticks out like a sore thumb. They should have been lighter, like the brick wall. Dumbwaiter seems like a waste of space too.

Notice that the appliances probably still working to, the stuff made today is garbage.

It’s teal Paint change but nothing else
