In 2010, Nathan Chandler bought a house that was a 1956 model home. Except for the new roof, windows and the upgraded vinyl siding and windows, the house remained as it was in 1956.
It has never been occupied.

The brand new kitchen was state of the art for that time period. Today, some house hunters might call it "vintage."

Nathan Chandler has a furniture business. As hard as it may be for vintage lovers to hear, Nathan Chandler chose to rip out the kitchen, install all new appliances, cabinets, and countertops , then he put the fixtures up for sale.
We thought this kitchen was cool and we wondered what our readers would do.
Poll Question:
If you bought a house that had never been lived in and if it had a vintage kitchen with appliances that had never been used, would you rip everything out to install new up-to-date appliances or would you leave the vintage kitchen as it is?
Thank you for your visit.
