I found a few sites on line with restored or reproductions of refrigerators and stoves but, I’m hoping to find local (NYC) brick and mortar stores or showrooms.

Also, the people who delivered it were great. They brought it down my difficult driveway, up the steps, and through the back door because it was too big to fit through the front.

I really like the mint green or robin blue Northstar. Jimmy, I'm into espresso and those machines are supper cool. I don't own an espresso machine. I get my "fix" from some area coffee bars. I'm thinking by the time I finish this kitchen project, I won't have a lot of disposable cash so in the long run it might be a good investment.

I think it looks great with my pale apricot lino floor and old white O'Keefe & Merritt stove. It's a BIG fridge, though. The size took a little getting used to. On the other hand, the big pull-out freezer on the bottom is really useful. Also, it uses much less energy than my old fridge.
