Big Chill line in beach blue against the country white cabinetry and warm honey floors, this kitchen is a real crowd pleaser. The mix of mid-century and country- cottage appointments of this kitchen creates a one-of-a-kind look we love.

In this Big Chill kitchen, the red stove is the cherry on top of a kitchen look fans loved. The crisp white subway tile backsplash contrasts against the rich, dark cabinets, and is perfectly accented by the cherry red Big Chill range. With red accents throughout, the stove really becomes the main even in this kitchen, and we’re happy so many of you loved it!

We are so excited Ben & Jerry’s features our Big Chill fridge at their Waterbury, Vermont factory. Our beach blue fridge can be seen during the tour of the factory, where a custom-sized freezer holds pints of the world-famous ice cream.

Each year thousands of visitors flock to Vermont to see how Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is made (and to taste the samples!). A visit to the factory gives tourists a behind-the-scenes look at where America’s ice cream guys got their start over 30 years ago.

Since the 1970’s Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has been a family favorite and we at Big Chill are proud to be included in their history. With beloved flavors like Cherry Garcia, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is a delicious blast from the past that is still popular today. As lovers of retro we especially appreciate how their ice cream keeps a tasty tradition alive today, one delicious scoop at a time!
