This 1950s Time Capsule Kitchen Will Give You Serious Nostalgia
If you think some of your kitchen appliances are outdated, wait until you see this 1950s kitchen that has remained completely untouched to this day. Furniture designer Nathan Chandler purchased a mid-1950s to early 1960s home complete with a retro gem: a fully furnished General Electric kitchen, pink countertops and all. Chandler purchased the home in 2010 from the original homeowner who, evidently, did not feel inclined to make any renovations to this unique kitchen — and we're glad! Take a look through all the nostalgia-inducing photographs of this time capsule to see what a common American kitchen used to look like.

The pink countertops definitely scream 1950s.
The charming bar adds a cool touch.
This is what side-by-side refrigerators used to look like.
The appliances even come with their original instruction manuals!
Complete with an illustration of a 1950s woman showing you how to use the freezer.
And a handy how-to guide and cookbook for this cutting-edge pink oven.
Jukebox or stove?
The detail in the stove's vent covers adds some serious charm.
The kitchen is still in mint condition — look at that shine.
Have you ever seen a dishwasher like this? Not only is the circular dishwasher still intact, but it also still has the original packs of soap it initially came with!
The cabinets' knobs were probably modern and chic back then.
We can't believe this kitchen still hasn't been remodeled. It's always fun to take a look at the past and be reminded of how much home-decor trends have really evolved.
