$5 Retro Games

Just flicking through the latest selection of catalogues for this week {I ADORE ‘Junk Mail’!} and I happen upon a selection of $5 Retro Games from Kmart – Kmart are always reviving retro or nostalgic toys {like their Nintendo console they sold which apparently – and not surprisingly – sold out very quickly}. Their latest revive is a selection of popular 1950’s games in rather cute packaging. For $5 {even if it’s just for display around the house} you can’t go wrong!

The 50's! In the Kitchen:

Ok who doesn’t like a statement piece of retro furniture? There are so many styles you can venture into from 20-30’s Art Deco’s sleek lines, the 50’s bright coloured kitsch and the 60-70’s space age mod. You are bound to find something to suit your taste – I have a fondness for all three but that’s because I like anything with nostalgia J
Just taking a few elements can create a cool interior and provide some interesting focal and talking points!
I might make this a regular feature cause I love the topic so much and it doesn’t cost that much to get the feel sometimes. I’ll start it all off with my favourite era: The Fifty’s! In the Kitchen:
{Fortunately it’s quite easy and inexpensive to get 50’s style kitchen appliances nowadays - such as Morphy Richards, Delomghi, Russell Hobbs} Check out my coffe machine which is one crazy looking beast!

Delonghi Icona 4 Slice Toaster - Black
Delonghi Icona 4 Slice Toaster Black - $169 here




 Morphy Richards Kettle + 4 Slice Toaster Cherry Red Accents - $189 for the both here





Sunbeam Mixmaster MX8500 Classic & Hand Held Mixer - $359.00 for both! {in heaps of colours}
here





KitchenAid also have some seriously cute/sexy retro appliances in colours from lime green or pink to sexy boysenberry or colbolt blue. {KitchenAid has had the same styling since the 20's so the style is more reflective of that pre war era - A bit more like my coffe machine}
