Retro Kitchens with Big Chill


If you have always wanted your kitchen to take a step back in time, but desire the modern conveniences of today’s appliances then check out the beautifully retro Big Chill.  Powder pink, retro red, baby blue... it’s a 50s dream kitchen come true for today’s vintage lover.

Big Chill is based out of Boulder, Colorado and their 50s inspired kitchen appliances are created by an uncle and nephew team who brought their dream of retro living to life with these very modern and unique reproductions.  They began their business designing retro refrigerators and now have grown to offer their fridges in several sizes and styles along with coordinating stoves and matching dishwashers. But unlike the vintage versions, these current interpretations offer the modern conveniences that we rely on today in a fridge - such as self defrost and an ice maker. All of their appliances are trimmed with chrome and are offered in a wide variety of popular colors associated with 50s nostalgia.

Big Chill was recently featured on The Rachael Ray Show and has also been seen on numerous design programs, magazines and blogs. These appliance are gorgeous, glamorous and perfect for today’s modern Retro Girl.

Glamorous Gadgetry

We all love our modern gadgets. Smart phones, notebooks, touch pads... the list goes on and on. Even though life was much simpler sixty years ago, I doubt we would we really want to live without our gizmos of today. What, no Facebook? How ever did they survive?

Here are a few vintage-inspired modern accessories to add a bit of nostalgia to your current programming schedule. This sweet iPhone cover by Fred f
eatured on ModCloth, has the look of a yesteryear's transistor radio but with all of the benefits of today’s technology.

And check out RetroWonders.com. This shop features vintage-style phones (on cords which is retro alone!) and beautiful 50s inspired CD/MP3 players with USB connectors that will also convert your favorite LPs to modern digital format. They also carry jukeboxes, children’s ride along pedal-cars and my favorite, replica drink coolers from the 40s and 50s. All of these lovely items give old-fashioned glamour for today’s latest trends.
