This 1956 Kitchen Hasn’t Been Touched For 50 Years

ADVERTISEMENT

In a strange and unexpected discovery, furniture designer and creator Nathan Chandler found and bought a home that had remained sealed since 1956, keeping its 60s style interior perfectly intact. Though the house has recently been sold, the interior design of this vintage kitchen provided us with a look at a time long gone.

It’s not clear why the original owners of the home kept the kitchen design unchanged for so long, but we’re glad they did because the interior décor elements and the vintage furniture are absolutely perfect. From the pastel pink counters to the manuals still attached to the unused GE home appliances, every kitchen decor detail here is straight out of a 1950s American family sitcom.

The fate of this period room design is uncertain, but we’re glad to have had a look into such a strangely-preserved historic space!

The first thing you’ll notice is that this kitchen has pink everywhere

These are the buttons to an electric stovetop – note the old-school cover

Even the oven is pink!

The appliances all still come with their 1950s manuals

The fridge is a bit small, but at least it’s… pink

The dishwasher pulls all the way out

I am dying to know why no one ever lived in this house at all in 60 years! I hope they say why one day.

It's probably an old Hollywood in a back lot. Much crucial info missing; mainly the 'where', why and 'how' this time time capsule emanated.
