Retro Kitchen Love

For those who are new to my little corner of the blogosphere, I'd like to show you why I bought this house:

Yep. It's GE stove from the late 50s. The realtor laughed at me when I told him to ask if they'd take an offer on it even if they didn't take our offer on the house. We ended up repainting the whole kitchen to go with it, and over the past year and a half I've been collecting all things aqua and white.

What I was missing though was cooking utensils. And then, like a fairy godmother, Pinterest saved the day.

Oh, and a near complete set of aqua and white Pyrex :D
