Brand new to the market: A small refrigerator with retro styling, the Magic Chef Retro Edition Refrigerator. Thanks to Colleen for this tip, and the photo above. She writes: Cutie patootie refrigerator I saw in Home Depot this weekend.” Cutie patootie indeed!
Available in Mint … Red … and … White …
Note, at $300 to $349, this retro style refrigerator looks to cost about double a plain version. But… cutie patootie! Thanks so much, Colleen, for this tip!
2021 update: There are quite a few refrigerators like this on the market today. For an update on where to find family-sized retro refrigerators, check out my story here.

Hmmm…whenever I go through the Amazon link, I get Daewoo refrigerators. Look the same, but say “Daewoo” on the front instead of “Magic Chef.” Oh well, very sweet little fridge!

Oopsy, I fixed the first reference. There seem to be twins — one branded Magic Chef, the other Daewoo. It may be the Magic Chef is a special for Home Depot only — scroll to the bottom of the story to get to that link. Thank you for catching that, Jan!

Thanks for the tip. We had borrowed a small fridge for a Christmas party last year and were looking for a replacement. This is perfect for our house and we got it in the mint green as the original kitchen in was in a mint green shade. All the Home Depot stores near us were showing limited quantities so we ordered it for delivery at the $198 (in CT).

Perfect for our vintage bar on the lanai. I am thinking Christmas present for the house!

I went to Home Depot & ordered a white version. They had about 7 mint versions, a color I don’t really care for. And I only paid $198.00 for it. Thanks for the heads up. I too, didn’t know I couldn’t live without something so cool & retro.

This is as cute as it can be. I think the color looks mint. The case itself is plastic, not metal. We dropped by a Home Depot in Annapolis today and they had 4 left and they were $198.00. We had a $50 credit that Home Depot had given us for an order mix up problem. We used it on the fridge. It sort of has a Pottery Barn Kids refrigerator look. We plan to use it for overflow when all the kids visit at one time. Our granddaughter thinks it is her refrigerator!
So thank you so much for this tip. I, like another poster, did not know I needed this item.

We have got to check these out! We just removed an old Sears gas stove and an under the counter frig. I wanted to have them reworked, but the cost was just too high.
Your site always has the best information!
Thanks

This would be awesome for a vintage travel trailer!

What Debbie in Portland said! 😉

This is adorable! The “mint,” if it’s actually aqua, would be perfect with my yellow-and-aqua “Skylark” Formica, but (ATTENTION MANUFACTURERS) I need a full-size one (no wider than 30″, though, ’cause I’m not ripping out original cabinetry!). Perhaps the availability of these smaller ones is a welcome clue that the trend is finally turning away from ubiquitous white/gray/stainless kitchens (and “open concept,” too, but I digress) and towards a colorful homage to midcentury, at reasonable prices! Is it too much to hope for? Turn, turn, oh wheel of style.
