LOLOL omg the look on your face in respect to the man in the tub...priceless! Thanks for sharing!
🤣🤣 You're so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
That was just the funniest!!! yep!
I think we all had the same expression on our faces 😳
I almost spit coffee I laughed so hard!
@TranscendFurnitureGallery -
I had the same look and I know this because when I saw that I looked over to you (seeing your face) like you could see me…LOL.
LOL just with your intro and flipping pages, I just relived my childhood. The alarm clock, the wall star, the exercise machine 14 in 1!
That xact couch!
Me too. I’m 72 so a real trip down memory lane.
That is awesome!
Me too! I'm 66 and I smiled so much looking at that. I laughed at the round padded chairs at 7:08. Our neighbors had those and they were so very very uncomfortable.
A stroll thru my childhood. Thank you! Some of the sofas and curtains I thought was ugly back then, & I was right
You're very welcome! ☺️
Absolutely agree with you!
Yep!
...and those sofa-covers!!
She skipped over the toys!
I remember a lot of the furniture from my childhood!!😂😂 Yes, I’d love to see the other catalogs.
I appreciate the feedback! 😀
That was so fun. My aunt had one of those Formica dining sets and I remember the chairs went "ssssss" when you sat down. Then when they cracked later, they scratched upyour bare legs. Ah, 80's childhood. Please do some more!
Lol I totally relived your “ssssss”! 😆
I could actually hear it in my memory! U need to think about writing a book, that's the kind of description that people love!
😂 me too! @@joeb4142
And the little pinches on the backs of your thighs when you got up off a cracked one.... 😬
The little u shaped brackets supported the legs of the table. How my cat loved to use them for storage.
Loved this trip down memory lane. I could keep myself amused for hours as a child looking through catalogues filling an imaginary wardrobe and furnishing a pretend house!
🤔 me & my older sister sitting on the floor, each had a pencil... I got 1st choice on a page then she could circle what she wanted, she got 1st choice on the next page. We'd do the entire catalogue 🤭even the men's undies. lol
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much! 😊
😂
Yes....such great fun!
Great installment! I'm definitely interested in seeing your other two catalogs.
I'm 61 and I had a blast going back in time like this!!😅😀👍💪 Thanks!!!
You're welcome! ☺️
thank you ! That was really fun. A trip down memory lane right through my 60's /70's childhood. I loved when the new catalogues would arrive.Even as a kid, i would thumb through each page, just as you did here. Happy New Year!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
OMG! You just time-warped me through my childhood!! Well done on the background music, it captured that 70's vibe! Also, your face when you encountered that guy in the tub was priceless!!!🤣
(Tom Jones having a soak!)🛀🤣
Angie, may you and all your loved ones have a blessed New Year!❤
I couldn't believe that one!
I laughed out loud over that... and at your Tom Jones comment.
Tom Jones!!! 🤣 Thank you for THAT! 😂
Loved this! That Danish 5 piece ensemble... my parents had that exact set, complete with the striped cushions. I used it when I was an adult and was living on my own in the 90's. Easy for a single girl to move because they were light weight. It's amazing really that these pieces are considered "cheap" furniture, but they have lasted 60 years and will longer with folks like you doing the refinishing. I was born in 65, so this was super fun! Thanks for this video!! Happy New Year!
I remember that set from the home of a family friend. We thought they were so cool; especially compared to the French Provincial set my parents had. The Danish set was like something you'd see on tv.
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching and they DEFINITELY don't make them like that anymore!
Hooray!!! I was so excited when you asked this question and I of course said YES
Angie, this was fun. Thanks for sharing the stroll down memory lane. @8:56 Your expression was the same as mine! Ha! Ha! Happy New Year to you and Andrea and all the furry kids!
Thank you! You too! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Wow! Talk about a blast from the past! Love looking through old catalogs, and would like to see your other two catalogs sometime soon. Thanks so much, Angie!🙂
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
My grandparents and then my parents owned a furniture store in Indiana when I was growing up. I grew up with this exact furniture! 💙. Since you’re doing pricing my grandfather explained that furniture and especially lamps had at least a 200% markup always back then.
Thanks this is fun
200%!!!! Whoa!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Wow, so impressed that you found those catalogs so well preserved.
So was I! 🙂
Fun stuff!! 😊
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I laughed when I saw the first couch and tables I had as a newlywed as you flipped the pages!❤❤❤
Wow! I feel old! That was so awesome!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This was so fun! Thanks for sharing these.
You're so welcome! 😊
Memory lane (and current taste!)
We still have our favorite sheet set from Burlington in the 70s. It’s a big sunrise and I love it but haven’t been able to find more. Would buy up every one I ran across in a heartbeat.
Fingers crossed for you that you find another set!!!
Oh my gosh......I remember this furniture, TV's and lighting so well from my childhood. Good memories!!
I LOVE a tight back sofa. Not that comfy, but always tidy.
Time warp! And I found my grandmother’s lamp at 14:47! I have it in my living room. The draperies were hilarious - my aunts had those! Yes, please do another one of these with the other catalogues. This was such a fun video. Happy New Year!🥂🎉🌸
I greatly enjoyed this! Thank you😄
Even as a teenager/young adult in the 70's, I found the "special" (your word😆) floral patterns and other mod fabric patterns in the 70's abhorrent. However, I would have loved to have that "pecan" woodgrain laminate bedroom set.😄 Wouldn't have loved that so much now.
I definitely will Deborah! The people have spoken. 😊 Happy New Year to you and yours as well! ❤️
Happy New Year Angie and your family 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Love your videos 😍
Happy New Year!! 🥳
I am old enough to remember catalogues.
Thank you! Married in the 60's and bought quality furniture and kept it. Now people come to my house to see the '"Teak" MCM furniture that would cost the earth. . I joke that I have been in and out of style three times.
See I love that! Kudos to you for keeping it. They do NOT make them like that anymore! 😊
THANK YOU FROM ALBERTA @@TranscendFurnitureGallery
I have an MCM bedroom suite, inherited from my mother, that is teak and teak veneer. Her bedside table is lovely. His is full of cup stains and what looks like a tube of glue stain. Once I get the joining headboard I will hopefully restore it without sanding through veneer layers.
That was great fun! Would absolutely love to see the other catalogs
Thank you so much! Feedback noted!
Love seeing the old furniture, etc. I had a flash back, when you were looking at the slip covers, and remember a couch and chair my mom and dad bought in the early 70's that had a very eye popping pattern with brown, gold and orange designs. Wow...
I remember every page of those catalogs
Omg, that brings back so many memories. One of the headboards look like the one i inherent from my mom. Oh, please go through the other catalogs. I enjoyed this video. Happy new year
Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I love all of the 75 furniture
Happy New Year! That was fun. My mom always had catalogs, and some of the furniture was in our house. My mom bought the maple bedroom set for me, and she kept it after I left home, and it was passed on to my son.
Happy New Year! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
That was fun. It was really interesting how expensive tvs were.
All new technologies cost more at the outset because a lot of money has been invested in developing them, with no guarantee of success. If they become popular, once that investment has been recouped, the prices come down, even more people buy them, and the manufacturers make a modest profit on a large number of sales. A mature technology then becomes a “cash cow” which they can milk for all it’s worth. So if, for example, you are thinking about buying an EV but can’t afford to, just wait a few years.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
This was so fun :) I'm not a furniture flipper or restorer at all, just come to enjoy you work etc. Even so, I really appreciate that you commented in which styles make easy flips and other good tips for anyone watching who is in the business or thinking of getting started :). Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you as well! 🎉
You know...I own vintage office furniture ads. I have a few on display in my office at work and I get comments on them all the time. So, yeah...I get it. I totally do. Lol thanks for showing us these catalogues!!! I was drooling the whole time! Happy New Year to you and Andrea and all the kitties and bunnies. May the New Year bring you continued success and prosperity! Here's to an awesome 2024 full of beautiful MCM furniture restoration from our favorite furniture rehabber, You! Thanks and Cheers!!! ,🥃🍺🍻🥂🍾🍸🥳🎉🎊🎇🎆
Happy New Year to you as well Janette!!!! I hope you're enjoying your coasters. Thank you so much for watching and your continued support. ❤️
I am! I am! They're fabulous! I almost don't want to use them! Lol cheers to you, Angie!!! 🎉@@TranscendFurnitureGallery
I loved this so much more than you can guess. I remember pouring through catalogs from the 60s and 70s growing up. Thank you for the memories. ❤
You're most welcome!! 😀
YES! I have a Wards 1967 and a Gold bond 1969. So neat please do more!
Early teens in ‘65 an early 20’s in ‘75 so I recognized a lot in the first catalog from my parents, relatives and friends homes. But I was a thrift store shopper once I moved away from home and don’t recognize most of what was in the second catalog. There was a lot of cherry furniture along with maple here in the US from the 60’s and a lot can still be found in thrift stores or online sale sites. My father built a dining room table and used a wood look laminate for the top. When he eventually downsized, I took the table but removed the laminate since the glue was becoming unstuck. I still have the base which is about 60-65 years old now.
It was like paging through the basement kitchens of my dad's South Philly relatives ...
I still have and use the maple, Early American bedroom set that my parents bought for me when I was 11 years old. I didn't like it then but it has lasted me for 60 years. No complaints.
this was so fun! And such a blast from my past...demonstrating how everything old is new again given that so many of these pieces do so well once given a facelift!! Happy New Year Angie!
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year!
What a trip down memory lane! We were the first family in our neighborhood to have a color TV in 1968! I still remember everyone coming over to marvel at it!
As you turned the pages, I could smell that unique catalog smell (not unpleasant) that I smelled as a child as we perused the Sears-Roebuck or Montgomery Ward catalogs when they arrived at our home. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane.
Vicki, I thought I was the only one that could do the "smeller" imagination. Lol
Kinda in reverse, like smelly socks & you're right back in gym class.
Happy New Year!🎉
You're so welcome Vicki! 😊
My mom purchased a diner room set in the early 70s. Table for 8 people and something called a dry sink. Also had a "hutch", but was called a breckfront. She still has it and uses it.
It's definitely a trip down memory lane. I remember when the first colour TV came out in 1975. My parents saved up & bought us one. We loved the thing as kids. Thanks for sharing, Andrea. ❤
Actually my name is actually Angie - my partner's name is Andrea, however I appreciate the support!! Thank you so much! 😊
Happy New Year Angie, we are almost 1 hour into the new year. I love this video because it shows furniture that were also sold in the US in the 60's. The few pieces you showed that you painted were absolutely beautiful . Have a wonderful New Years Eve and a prosperous 2024.
Happy New Year to you and yours as well!! Thank you so much for watching! 😀
This was so much fun.
Thank you!
Very fun! I, too, was taken down memory lane. My parents had many of these pieces when I was growing up in Southern California.
Very cool!
I was 17 in 1975 so this brought back some memories for me. i was never into modern furniture and my first furniture buys a few years later were country pine antiques but I remember friends and family's houses with that furniture.
I have an old (70s) Conran’s catalog that is so much fun to look at! Amazing how that kind of furniture is so desirable now.
A walk through my childhood!
Wow! A blast from the past. I grew up in the 60s/70s and have seen many of those catalogue pieces at the homes of friends and family. How did we ever think the slipcovers and drapes were cool?
The Sears catalog!!! We grew up with the Sears catalog!
I have some fond memories of it as well!! 😊
Televisions didn’t start coming down in price until the 1980s.
That’s a nice trip down Memory Lane. I wish I had kept my old catalogs!
What an outstanding stroll down memory lane! At 77, I see so much of what I grew up with. Thanks Angie! I really enjoyed this and will share with old friends. What the heck was Mr. doing with coffee in the tub???😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
What a blast from the past! I feel so old!!🤣🤣
Can’t tell you how many times during the video I said, We had that!
You did a great job showing the catalog highlights and prices compared to today. Yes please do another catalog for us. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 😀
Lots of fun. I grew up in Toronto so I remember Eaton's and the Sear's catalogue. Happy and prosperous New Year to you, Andrea and all the adorable bunnies! :)
Same to you! 🎉
This video was a nice change of pace. Thank-you!
I was reminded of my Grandparents' house. They redecorated their living room in about the 1960s. This included French Provincial(?) furniture with elaborately embroidered fabric.
Because this furniture was very expensive, it was covered with slipcovers to "protect" it. Further, due to Grandmother's steadily declining health, she did not like having visitors. Consequently, the space remained largely unchanged and untouched for the next 40 years. It was normally used less than once per year.
In 2001, my Parents sold the house. The new owners were upsizing from a much smaller place, and so they offered a few hundred dollars extra for the furniture. This was a much better deal than paying to have it hauled away, so it went with the house.
You're welcome! ☺️
Love this! I've been trying to track down who made my Blonde Birch hutch and Buffet. I'm hoping that maybe they're in one of your books! Haha
Maybe!! 😀
This was a real bast from the past! My sister and I would each take a shoe box and create individual rooms with dividers, then cut out images from the Sears and Penny's catalogues ad create our dream homes...then invite each over other to see our "homes". Thanks!
Oh I love that! Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating. We have a complete collection of British Habitat (Terence Conran's outlet) catalogues from 1977.
That is amazing! I bet they're a trip to look through!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery actually, half the stuff illustrated is in our house anyway!
I think a lot of that kooky stuff is super fun and I would unironically want to have it. I love this era in design.
There is just something special about that shade of blue with dark wood. I would also choose a lot of these things today. I mean even the clocks were insanely cool.
Happy new year! I'm excited to see what's in store for 2024!
Happy New Year to you as well!!
My toes are still feeling the bathroom carpet!!
Thank you so much for doing this! I grew up in Vancouver from '66 to '75 so this brought back a LOT of happy memories 🙂💕
You're so welcome! 🙂
Yes. Color tv was just a dream for my family until 1987!
Seeing the price of tvs in the catalogues, I understand why my parents never bought one.
How fun! And the inflation calculator was very helpful. I'd love to see your other catalogs as well. I have a vivid childhood memory of my parents buying a color console television (mid 70s) but had no idea how much it cost back then. I knew it was something they'd saved for, though. Best wishes and happy new year to you and your family, Angie!
Happy New Year to you as well - all the best for 2024!
LOVED IT Angie! I especially loved the groovy music to go with it! It's just like looking into my childhood homes in the 60' and 70's! Great video, please show us the rest! Happy New Years dear friends! I hope everyone stays safe and doesnt drink too much!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Those TV consoles were so so heavy!!
Definitely go thru the other catalogs. I concur with the others, a stroll thru my childhood. My kids and grandkids will love it. And the inflation adjusted prices were eye openers.
Well that was a fun trip down memory lane. My era. Thank you that was refreshing!
You're so welcome!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Being retired, my needs are few and simple; but so very satisfying. I see a video from Angie at Transcend Furniture Gallery, I click, I like, I leave a comment. Life is good. (PS. I think I've seen very one of those pieces of furniture somewhere around this province in my lifetime. What a blast from the past! :D )
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Wow, Angie that’s stunning. I love how much you appreciate these old pieces.
🔥 ❤️
Thanks so much!
LOL! The man in the bathtub made me laugh!
Thanks, that was fun as well as interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I worked for Sears from 1974 to 1996 doing deliveries and handled some of the stuff simular to what you have shown
So fun! Thanks for the stroll through my childhood. 😀
You're very welcome! 😊
This was so much fun! I'd love to see you do this again. It was a blast from the past.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The wagon wheel chandelier was a bone of contention in my family. My parents had one in the dining room. After they passed away, my sister did NOT want it! Not sure what happened to it.😂 Thanks for a blast from the past. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s.🎉
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I was born in '51'... I like that furniture. How cool is that book?😅🎉❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Oh man...I feel like I can smell the print and feel the shiney paper! 😂 Alao, that sculpted carpet...we had that in my house when I was a kid.
The smell does take you back doesn't it? Like old library books! ❤️
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery yes! Or...if you're my age...mimeograph machines.
Smells are good time travel!
Ethan Allen maple sets were very popular in the Midwest US in that era. It was considered high end.
Well you just opened up a window to my past. Yes ma'am, televisions used to be very expensive. I remember a friend in 1961 told me they bought a color television and I thought they must be rich.. Not everybody could afford even a black and white TV. I remember watching Captain Kangaroo on our flickering black and white TV set that my dad bought second hand. We mostly played outdoors. Sears and Montgomery Ward allowed people to buy furnishings for their homes on credit that they could never have afforded otherwise. They were extremely popular and when they closed their doors it was like losing an old friend.
How nostalgic and I have to agree about the sofa you liked Angie, I would defiantly buy that.
Thanks for sharing. Both of those catalogs were of my childhood and teenage years. Happy New Year
You're most welcome! Happy New Year to you as well!
I am a MASSIVE 60's retro fan. Thanks for this!!
You're very welcome! 😊
The furniture back then were build for people with 4 to 8 kids. My father in law had your fireplace. Everything in the seventies went wild. I had the couch /chair covers in there. The colonial sucked in any year. I have the Duncan Phyfe table and 4 chairs, I bought them in 2011 in near perfect condition for $500.00 at an Antique shop in Lethbridge, Alberta. I’m sitting at it this minute lol. Thanks for the memories.
You're very welcome Linda!
I loved this! So cool seeing the old furniture, details and prices then and now!
What a difference eh??
I’m 79, so these were the catalogs I was looking at in the 60’s and 70’s. Even then I thought those slip covers were awful. I was married at that time and we were too poor to afford the furniture you showed. We had a hodgepodge of stuff from the 40’s and 50’s. I wish I still had some of it. As I look back some of it was really nice.
I bet it was! They definitely do not make furniture like they used to! 😊
Just had a great laugh of the 75's sofas... The eyesore! Yep, my mum had a 3+2+1 set in orange... The colours/patterns she chose.... Dear Lord!
As kids born in the 60's (I am 62 yrs now), we had not a say, mum ruled! She still have the table, that looks like metal, and that I am sure my grandkids could inherit when she passes... I will not have it, it is too big... still looks the same.
As a refinisher in Canada, I recognize so many of these brands and many of these pieces. I LOVE that you did the price adjustment for inflation. I extra appreciated when you said what that number was. I usually watch on my phone, and the screen is just too small to see the numbers on the calculator.
I'd love more of these videos!
Thank you so much fellow Canadian!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! A blast from the past!!!! So fun 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I’m only a quarter of the way through this video and already I’ve said “wow!” Out loud like 20 times- this is so interesting and I’m so happy you included the calculation with inflation. Super neat catalogues to get your hands on, love this style of video!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
HNY! Thank you for your content. Cheers 🥂 from Brooklyn, NY.
Happy New Year to you as well!!!!
Oh, the memories.... Wishing you a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you as well! 😊
Thanks. More please.
You got it!
When our incredibly old Zenith black and white television died, my dad turned it into a fishtank. Very cool... (I grew up with a lot of this sort of furniture - wonder where our old Formica coffee table with the inset little square of tiny tiles ended up... )
Tough, space age materials and the guy in the bathtub. Great stuff!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
