A step back in time: Phoenix woman transforms her home into a 1950s time capsule

While many people renovate their home to make it more modern, one Valley woman has done the complete opposite, as she transformed her North Phoenix home into a time capsule that sends people back to the 1950's. FOX 10's Danielle Miller reports.

Love when people make their homes/spaces their own.

Her home is so much fun. I think she did a nice job, some things were a bit too kitschy but hey, I still liked it. She has a great respect for older things and understands that just because something is “old” doesn’t mean it has to be thrown out.

A 21st-century refuge for time-travelers from the '50s.

Beautiful home!! More style than most people have. You open the door in other people’s houses and it’s like an episode from Hoarders.

Love it! I did the same thing to my home in Austin. Complete with a 58 Ford to drive.

As a lover of Vintage and Antiques, Rochelle's Home is a well-curated Dream. 🖤

That is cool! And 1950’s appliances still working. Good luck with a 2020’s appliance working 70 years later! Good luck with 2020’s appliance working 3 years later!!

That's so awesome! Anything but the sterile undefined malaise of today's tastes. My dream too has always been this idea, but with 1930's art-deco styling, although I LOVE the '50's too.

[lindsaypacker]

That was a fun little trip! I enjoyed all of her decor and the way she put it together. She seems like a person that has true appreciation for all things vintage.❤️

I love her aesthetic! The pink hair, the Gothic dressing room, the pink kitchen appliances...very cool. I wish she was my next-door neighbor

Love it. We also have a mid century home and chose to decorate with vintage /older pieces. Its a refuge from the crazy world and feel like we are in our grandparents home.

Me and my friends we were born in the 1950s, were now in our 70s, but we loved the styles from our youth. Many of us collect those decor items, from that time period. One friend grew up in the fabulous Mid Century Modern 1950s home, and moved back in when her folks passed away. It looks like a time capsule, there is a very "Jetson-esque" kitchen with a floating central counter with a built-in range, and oven is elevated and on another wall. There is a 2 sided flagstone chimney, with a glass insert in the fire box, so you can see into the living room, or vice-versa see into the kitchen from the living room. The house is modestly sized and a single floor, but there is the built-in intercom system, so one can talk to family members, there are speakers and receivers in each room wired to a central console in the dining room with a swing-out microphone. Pastel 50s linoleum, and wall colors, and counter tops with tiny boomer-rang motif patterns across the surface.

It's very cool to be able to pick a decade in time and live accordingly. This was a lot of fun. Thank you for this tour.

[Julito-typh]

Good for you, congratulations on your beautiful home snd spectacular collection ❤

[experimental]

That is pretty awesome. I'm genuinely happy that she was able to make this happen for her.

[ambrosiarodriguez]

This totally brightens my heart I love it. I am so happy you live in your dream.❤❤❤

[Davett]

Love her color scheme in the interior, her kitchen with the built-ins, is to die for. Cool!

[melissafrench]

It's beautiful! I absolutely love it and wish house's still looked like this

[JWimpy]

Beautiful home. I wish we could go back to the 50s. It was the greatest time of my life.
As for her pink hair, I never saw anyone with pink hair in the fifties.

[amandatrayes]

What a beautiful job she's done. Brava!
