HGTV watchers have seen this, and we’ll direct you to a show clip in a minute, but perhaps you’d like to know about the kind of appliances that are available to make a kitchen renovation look 50s-Retro, but operate at the height of 21st Century environmental requirements.

Big Chill and Elmira Northstar appliances are the brands bringing the 1950s look into your new kitchen. Here are some samples, but you can see whole lines HERE.
