  1. I love the inventive ideas of the 50s. The refrigerators and other kitchen appliances especially are amazing–

    1. My grandma actually had the pink one and my great uncle had it in blue
      The little slide out plastic cubbies at the counter would never stay that cold but it was super cool 😎

  2. How COOL! Finally, a refrigerator where I can actually FIND everything because it’s shallow enough to see what I have in there. No more package of cold cuts lurking at the very back of the fridge, growing mold.

  3. My grandmother had a brown wall hung ge fridge and it was great. Wish I had one. Hers was mounted at the right height for a 5’6″ woman. She had no trouble at all reaching everything.

  4. I own a kitchen remodeling company and have an upcoming project where we have to remove one f these wall units. I can’t seem to find any information on how to get it off the wall. Is there anyone that can help me out?

  5. I was three when we moved to suburbs on Long Island NY and I somehow climbed on the base cabinet to go get myself an ice pop. I want one for our new home we are rehabbing.
