RE: 50s style retro kitchens
What kind of fridge is that? I'll take ANYTHING over the piece of junk, vertical-freezer, alleged icemaker-and-front-door-cold-water-spout GE "refrigerator"l we have now. The 1932-model fridge (which I think was a converted icebox) I had in my first apartment in the 1970s was better than this piece of crap.

It's a retro 50s style Northstar fridge made by Elmira Stove Works.
I think it costs $3,000. The range costs $3,000 too.
Here is their web site: http://www.elmirastoveworks.com/
They cost a lot but they are so nostalgic (even though I wasn't alive in the 50s).
I noticed today that Big Brother 10 has their fridge & range in their kitchen.

Our Fridge, range, and dish washer are all over 16 years old.
Our microwave is 26.
our last dryer and washer lasted a few years. then died on us.
Moral of the story: Old stuf runs better the new stuff. Or they don't make things like they used to.

Another movie for you to rent, tdub: "The Hunter," which was Steve McQueen's last movie. His best line in it: "New things are no good. Old things are better." Truer words were never spoken.
