When items actually lasted more than 5 years. Love it! Like living in a museum. ❤

Thank goodness there are people like this guy, who are keepers of the things past, each house like this, is a little museum.

There’s only 1 word for this home: swell. It’s absolutely, positively, gloriously, totally & perfectly swell — an absolute gem. And so is the owner.
PS- an uncle had a 1960s console RCA color TV w/ a similar remote & in those days, it was magic.

Waw! For a minute there, I thought I was watching Bewitched!!

One of the coolest homes I have ever seen, what a fantastic job he's done, superb. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Awesome to see an MCM that some amateur decorator didn't ruin by tearing everything out. This is the best I've seen so far! Great job!

[craiggillett]

Loves the sound effects with the opening of the frost free fridge and freezer. Classic

Totally amazing! I am blown away! Thanks for sharing your awesome house with us.

I have died and gone to heaven. What a gorgeous, stunning mid century home. Things were built to last back then. I was born in 1967 and I love mid century decor and design. I have incorporated many original mid century pieces in my home. Sadly my home was built in 1992!! What I'd give to live in a mid century home. This is fabulous and sooo fantastic of the homeowner to preserve all of this.

The detail on the handle of that 1958 Frigidaire refrigerator is exactly like the detail on the dashboard of my 1958 Cadillac! I guess so that you would be comforted by the continuity of design as you glided from the kitchen into your car...cause that's what you did in 1958.
What a great host! Thx Joe

[jamesleathers]

What a great house, brings back so many memories.

That Maytag pair truly represented why the Maytag repairman never had work, they lasted at least 😅25 years . Top of the line .

Charles, love the old tv’s, radios and appliances. Anyone with these in the 50’s were basically upper class, they weren’t cheap! Still remember the epic moment my dad brought home our first colour tv in 1970, 26” Electrohome, made in Kitchener Ontario!

[josephconsoli]

You make great videos Charles! I love the house and aren't collectors who like to live back in time the best people?! We are :)

[cjdesign]

FAN FREAKING TASTIC! Thanks, Charles and Joe!

the wall oven, the step on freezer, the dishwasher than the appliances i see today. i could move in. im a 27 yr old old soul.
my 1st apt had a '60s wall oven that worked perfectly still & i hosted my 1st thanksgiving dinner using it to cook a perfect turkey. when my mum saw the wall oven she was enthralled. she loved that u didnt have to bend over to cook in an oven & why did people stop using it??!!! & when they renovated their kitchen...yes, they did, a beautiful double wall oven. whenever i can i add something mid century ( late 20s-early 60s for my taste) to my home i do. treasure hunting is my fav hobby.

I just came across your video in my feed today. I loved seeing this! I was born in 1959 and truly appreciate (and miss) the decor from the 50's and 60's. This made my day!

[TOBYH]

I WAS THE REMOTE CONTROL FOR OUR RCA TV BACK IN THE DAY! IN THE 60s

[GoettingRx]

What’s amazing is that most everything works. It feels like a home, not a museum. What a joy to see. (And that remote control is the very definition of a “clicker”!)

Mid Century Modern technology can also be any technology that looks futuristic and cute. Modern Polaroid Cameras and modern Flip Phones from the 2010's are an example.
