In 2010, a house that was built in 1956, welcomed its first homeowner in over 50 years. While it pretty much looked like any other house on the outside, the new owner didn’t expect to find it extra special inside.
The house, which was never lived in since its completion in the 1950s, is an overall retro wonder. But its stunning, all-original 1950s kitchen proves to be the cherry on the cake. See for yourself!
The kitschy kitchen in all its adorable retro glory!

While pink may be considered too “girly” today, the color pink actually had a deeper meaning for people in the 1950s.

In fact, pink was the popular color for bathrooms and kitchens in the 1950s. It was inspired by the favorite color of First Lady Mamie Eisenhower who loved it so much that even her cotton balls were pink!

Dubbed “Mamie pink”, the color soon became a national symbol for they joy felt when WWII came to an end and the remaking of the American household.

It was estimated that over 5 million households featured a pink kitchen or bathroom or both.

With pink appliances in such high demand at that time, this pink kitchen might have been quite the dream.

The appliances still have original manuals.

I wonder if they still might work.

It would be like stepping back into the 1950s with this top-loading dishwasher and the original detergent.

No wonder this kitchen is so special. I wonder why this house was never occupied though. Nevertheless, it’s a little piece of history that can be enjoyed for a long time.
