Amazing! Check Out A House That Has Been Locked Since 1956(Finally Opened)

No one has leaved in this house since it was built and furnished in 1956,  designer Nathan Chandler bought it and was explaining this.

"Idon’t know about you, but I’m crazy about two things: the color pink and antiques.

So when I saw this stunning, all-original, 1950s kitschy kitchen, I immediately fell in love!
According to the homeowner, the house was built in 1956 — but was never lived in until he came along in 2010! When he moved in, the twinkly appliances — state of the art during their time — had never been used, and their original manuals were still taped to their sides! Why was the house never occupied? That’s still a complete mystery!

Today, the powder pink counters and appliances might turn many off — but did you know that the color pink played a very important role in the 1950s?

What do you think? Do you like the bubbly pink, or is it a little too much?

Please SHARE if you got a kick out of this retro kitchen!

Inspired by the favorite color of First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, pink was an exceptionally popular color for kitchens and bathrooms in the 1950s. Mamie loved the color so much, even her cotton balls were pink!

Dubbed "Mamie pink," the color soon became a national symbol for the joy felt at the close of WWII and the remaking of the American household.

The Nation gathered from a senior Air Force officer in Makurdi that the Augusta AW101 helicopter crashed after landing. The source, who pleaded not to be named, said it was not a major crash. “What happened was that the helicopter had landed but suddenly moved up and tumbled,” the source added. Our correspondent learnt that only the flight engineer was on board the chopper when it crashed and did not sustain serious injury. The NAF Public Relations Officer in Makurdi, Okon Bassey, who was contacted by our correspondent, feigned ignorance of the incident, claiming he is attending a course in Lagos and promised to send his assistant’s contact details. The assistant, who simply identified himself as Gambo, said nothing happened at the NAF base. ‘It is all rumour, many people have been disturbing us concerning this thing. But I can c...

4 ways to benchmark your social media stats

Image
Begin Here One way that has been really helpful for me to think about benchmarking is splitting it into four key segments: Aspirational Trended Earned Competitive I first heard of this method from  Kevin Shively at Simply Measured . His blog post goes into great depth for each of the four types of benchmarks. Here’s a quick explanation: 1. Aspirationa l Benchmarking: Learning from social leaders. 2. Trended  Benchmarking: Setting goals, projections, and standards based on previous activity. 3. Earned  Benchmarking: Comparing campaign or promotional efforts against a standard for success. 4. Competitive  Benchmarking: Setting goals and baselines for performance and growth based on your direct competitors. The only edit I’d consider for the list is possibly changing competitive benchmarking to inspirational benchmarking, thereby including influencers in the mix along with competitors. One of my big questions when I’m benchmarking...
