Brand New Melamine "Atomic" Retro-Style Dinnerware

With all the warm weather we have been having, I have been doing everything outside. Not only that, but I just bought an amazing outdoor furniture set that I need to use. I don't want to bring all my glass or ceramic dinnerware outside, so I suppose I need to buy some melamine! These super cute vintage style "atomic" melamine dinnerware on Amazon are a perfect match.

The starburst pattern is one of my favorites. These 50's style salad plates are a blast from the past.

If I just got this oval serving bowl I would be a happy camper. By itself, it would add that vintage flair that I need to my outdoor dining set! For smaller dinner parties this would be helpful to have.

In order to match the salad plates I will need to get these dinner plates! Not only do they have the funky retro design, but they are oval shaped. I actually like how large it is! Whenever I have a barbecue I always end up spilling my corn on the cob because the plate is too small. This is the perfect size to be spill proof.

I like the style so much that it doesn't necessarily need to be melamine. Having a little tea party using these starburst cup and saucers would definitely be a hit! Also, I would love to just drink my tea out of this cute cup.

I want to have these atomic drinking glasses for everyday use! These are more colorful and fun than the glasses I have currently.

The last melamine plates I found are these diner boomerang plates. I'm dying because they don't match my outdoor decor, but I want them! They're so stylish and really bring me back to the good ol' days. Maybe one of you can provide a better home for these?

Retro Sputnik Chandeliers from Dutton Brown in Minnesota

I am so excited to show you guys these Sputnik Chandeliers from Dutton Brown on Etsy. When I was a kid I remember seeing these and hoping my parents would get one someday. Of course they never did, so now I've been waiting for the right moment to get myself one. Mostly I was looking for the right design or color, because Sputniks can come in all shapes and sizes! These guys have three fabulous different styles.

This orange mini sputnik chandelier is so cute. I love the compact design. It is perfect for most people this day and age. Many of my relatives who love retro home decor live in small condos or apartments. This lighting system is the perfect size. I imagine this would give off light for many rooms at a time.

Take a look at the other colors they have - So many!

This amazing yellow Sputnik chandelier is a fantastic size for a living room. The arms are a lot longer than the minis, so I would make sure it's in a place where there's a lot of height. I have a really tall ceiling in my living room and it just doesn't get enough light. I think with this chandelier it would be bright enough.

Here are a few of their color options for the medium sized Sputnik chandeliers.

When I think of Sputnik, this is typically the design and shape that comes to mind. The large mint Sputnik Chandelier is great for over the dinner table. Since it is "flatter" it's less likely someone will hit their head. I'm pretty tall, so I always have to keep that in mind. What a great way to spunk up your dining room. Both adults and kids would totally fall in love with it.

If you're not seeing a color you would like here, I would check it out their store for other options. If you have colorful walls and need glamorous and fun decor this is the place to go!

These things live in the future and past, I really enjoy that aspect! Check out Sputnik Chandeliers from Dutton Brown on Etsy. There's more designs here than just Sputnik, but of course, that's what I like most. What about you? Tell me about it in the comments down below!
