‘85 baby here. Why did this go away? I want this. I hate this superficial, manufactured reality. It’s a hollow shell just like the narcissistic liars that lead it down the drain.
No thanks, I love today's clean lines and fresh colours much better. Have a look at those homes, they all look alike too, that is how it works. People buy what is presented to them so I dont see how you can think it was different back then?😃 Besides the 60's, 70's and 80's had the ugliest decor, clothing, hairstyles and cars, it was only the music that was great. I call it the ugly eras, I hated the overwhelming browns, the feel of the fabrics the boxy cars. I remember refusing to wear crimplene as a child, it was thick, itchy and ugly. How did they go from the the 50's rock n roll ornate designs to that? Whoever were the designers back then had no talent. Remember men wearing crimpelene bell bottoms and those thick, huge sideburns they called lamb chops? Ugh and everyone was smoking everywhere, it was disgusting!🤣🤣🤣

I’m glad to hear that your indoctrination is working so well…..you obviously can’t see the forest for the trees. Best of luck ‘enjoying’ living in this present day hell! You deserve each other…
1963 baby here. I know what you mean. my daughter inherited a working TV set that my uncle restored and two lamps from the sixties and envious of her.
I see something in every one of those pictures that reminds me of my parent's house as a teenager in the 60s! Some of it is emotional, some of it is hilarious, but it's all nostalgic!
Exactly.
My parents house and yes emotional. Happy and sad!
The shears & gigantic lamps! But also look t the size of these living rooms!
Wow you must be old……….like me🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's missing, are the roller sets, with rollers and cigarettes between lips
Smart women had huge scarves to cover
Lovely. I grew up as a child in the 1960's and all these living rooms look so homey and familiar. So enjoyed this video. 😊
Also, tv was still watchable, and you could talk about the shows, the next day, with friends.
Most people watched the big 3, which went off the air around 1230am
🦚👁🇺🇸
I miss those childhood living rooms! Simple in design, no over consumerism, and everything built to last!
Because it was 100% polyester!
Aspestose lasts for ever
All of the old photos from the 1950s & 1960s bring back wonderful memories, it was the golden era and a fantastic time. So sad that the essence of that period cannot be recaptured.
Did you notice the picture of JFK on the wall in one of the photos. A lot of folks hung that picture -- proudly.
@@patrickryan1515 Yes I did notice and was thinking that the photo had to have been taken between 1961 and 1963.
Not so much if you’re a minority or female.
@@u4riahsc were you there? No you were not or you would not have made such a stupid comment. Seems there always has to be a turd in the punch bowl.
@@u4riahsc oh, here we go: WAH, WAH, WAH😭😭😭. Go back to looking at some woke, "current" stuff about Jay Z & Beyonce. Yeah, women & minorities are SO MUCH better off today. Now they can treat EACH OTHER the way they complained about how "others" treated them in the 60's.
I’m barely a minute in and I’m just loving those “true blue” mid-century modern couches! I have one of my parents couches and we had it recovered a few yrs ago. The upholsterer said it was solid cherry wood construction and would be a $10,000 piece if it was made today! 6 1/2’ long and almost as wide as a twin bed - the fabulous sleeping couch! I rested up on it after many a holiday meal in the 60’s. Long and low backed, just so cool now in a slate grey material.
Great memories!
I can't believe that I watched a video of people's living rooms and LOVED IT❗👍😊 Thank you so much for sharing these old photos❗❤
Those were such sweet times for me. I was five in 1960. Ladies wore dresses and clothing was quality made. Men wore suits, or minimally dressed nicely. Homes were smaller and life was simpler. We took care of our needs and our homes, and each other. We had a much better sense of community. We knew all of our neighbors for a three block area. Neighbors watched out for each other’s children. Children played in the neighborhood and in the streets. Drivers were cautious of the children. We walked to a bus stop a block and a half away from home and no parent was concerned for their child’s safety. Because they knew all neighbors had an eye out for the children. We came home from school, went out to play, came home for dinner, did our homework, took a bath and went to bed. Mother always cooked a nice meal. Dad came home from work and we all fought to be the one to pull his work boots off of his feet. LOL. It’s silly now, but it was important to us then. Dad was revered. We made sure he was comfortable. He chose what TV shows we would watch in the evening. If mom had a show she wanted to see, dad made sure that show was turned on at the right time. Dad kept a garden and grew grapes. Thankfully we didn’t have to pull weeds, but we had to help pick the grapes. Such sweet, innocent times.
well written...
Thanks for sharing your lovely memories, Patricia.
“Dad was revered.” And that is what is missing in so many homes today. A man, a dad in every sense of the term, the bread-winner, the guy who was gruff when he needed to be but tender when necessary, too. Our protector, our mentor. Not perfect, possessor of human frailties, but there. I miss my dad so much. Turn to my Heavenly Father for what I need, desire, and He gives freely.
Also, kids rode bikes..DIDN'T SNACK AFTER SCHOOL since that would ruin dinner
Now, many kids have type 2 diabetes
Looks like everyone smoked too.
Oh yeah.. Memories of a bygone era forever preserved in these pictures!!
My mom was more into the Early American style for years with the maple furniture, dining set, hutch, lamps, autumn colors (which I still love), lots of stuff on the walls, wallpaper, etc., then went a little primitive Shaker for awhile, since my uncle had a furniture shop and stripped furniture. Her mom never went for in for any of that but kept the more streamlined uncomfortable low backed itchy stuff and never had much of anything on her walls. Mom ended up putting stuff in the basement like a lot of folks did back then, and I sure miss having a basement; we had good times down there. She then got into French Provincial style with the gorgeous antique satin drapes. I wish to God I'd been able to take her old furniture but didn't have my own place yet. All I know is that what she had was all much better made than all the junk out there today and of course was cheaper than today's stuff. The cool thing is that I've been able to pick up nice maple pieces at garage sales and some thrift stores.
We weren't rich by any means, but times were better, mom began to work as a school bus driver when I was in my early teens, and I know I had a lovely childhood.
I completely agree with you that the old traditional furniture was much better made. I kept all of my parents’ furniture (they married in 1937) and the family antiques they inherited. If I needed a piece of furniture over the years I went to a consignment shop for old furniture because if the quality.
@@barbararussell9757 That's wonderful that you inherited all those antiques. I remember my grandmother and her sisters joking once that they couldn't wait years and years ago to leave all the "old" things behind in their early 20s when they got married and moved to the "big city" for jobs here in Ohio. Then when she got older, she and my grandfather would drive out to the country and pick up many an old washstand for almost nothing, clean them up and sell them for quite a profit here in town. She did like antique stores. When I was a little kid, they used to let me go with them on rides to the country sometimes. I remember meeting a paternal great-grandmother (the only one left alive back in the early 60s) and having to use an outhouse since they didn't have a bathroom in that old house. There was also an old pump in the kitchen sink. Lol.
@@cynthiamurphy3669 Those are great memories! There was an old farm in my family too! My great grandfather was a farmer but he sold antiques on the side. He would go to other farmers and ask if they had any old things they wanted to get rid of. He brought those things back to his barn and people would stop by on Sunday afternoons “going antiquing” - it was like a social event. He lived in the mid 1800s and died in the 1920s. I have a picture of him driving his surrey with my mom inside when she was about 6 years old. I love family stories.
@@barbararussell9757 It's wonderful when you have pictures plus history to go along with them! I have some older pictures given to me recently by an aunt by marriage, in her 80s now, whom I sure wish had given them to me while my uncle was still alive. She has no clue where the pictures were taken or who these people could be, and her kids, my cousins, aren't interested. My mom is gone and had had Alzheimer's for some years anyway and actually, neither of my folks was much interested in their extended families. There were a lot of cousins on both sides back in the days when families were bigger. One great uncle, I discovered, did some history and left some results on the Find a Grave website. Oh well.
@@cynthiamurphy3669 You are so right about that. We have one album from the farm that has really old photographs from the late 1800s and no one is alive who knows who they are. I wish someone had labeled those photos years ago! My cousins and I look at them and haven’t a clue.
We had the coffee table with the raised edges, the super uncomfortable couch, the huge table lamps, which got even bigger in the 70s. ( I still have a couple of those lamps).
The size of the lamp shades alone 😂
my mom still has the coffee table with raised edges!
Loved the pole lamps. Some of them were quite beautiful. We had several as I was growing up and the appeal was that children and pets could not knock them over and break them because they were tension fitted. Also you did not need to take up space with a table to set it on. Today's vaulted ceilings eliminate pole lamps but my current ceiling is standard height and if I found a cool pole lamp I'm buying it.....
I had friends parents that had cool pole lamps, my mother seemed to have a knack for buying ugly pole lamps.
They are back in big demand now! Unfortunately the vintage lamps can cost a lot now.
Big at my grandparents beach house. Also the standing lamp/table.
@@stevesandi5102 No matter where I put my box fan or space heater the dog will knock them over ............every day
My mother absolutely hated pole lamps and kitchen wall Telephones.
I was a little girl during the 60's. I love decor, lifestyle, and clothing ! Beautiful presentation ! I'm looking forward to watching many more of your vids !
YES. I grew up with a home that had a Formal Living room. It was so elegant just beautiful. Chandelier , Stereo console, Piano and Oriental rug . The works. My Mom had wonderful taste. She always put our Christmas tree in that room and we opened presents in that room. We took our Prom pics and special event pics in that room . One day I want a home with a Formal Living room that always stays nice and clean. I LOVE YOU MOMMY 💕💕💕💕💕
I remember our home and those of others in the 60's. The living rooms and the furniture all stand out, it makes me wish I was that young again, I remember it all so well. What REALLY impresses me was that most of the homes I remember were just really smaller Ranch style homes that were built in the 40's thru 60's. I lived in a Victorian home which was just beautiful, but by the standards of the 60's was not, although my parents decorated it according to the times in the 60's they also left the beautiful wallpaper in the staircase and hallways intact. I was SO embarrassed of our house in the 60's, but now live in a beautiful Victorian home, with wallpaper as close as I could get to our house growing up. But really the 60's for me, is not about living room furniture, but playing hrs out of the day, well into dusk (red light, green light, hope to see a ghost tonite!) We were outside for most of the day, exploring and skating, riding bikes together, etc. There was a real sense of community that is just lost today. So glad I grew up then. ❤
Me too, Edie.👍
This was "SO" much fun.
I was born in the 60s and the decor feels so familiar.
The furniture, the clothes, the hair, the music. If I sound like an old fossil...I care zero.🙂
This is when people cared what they wore. Always dapper even when lounging around the house and respect was a given.
The simplicity speaks for itself.
Less was more.
I really miss those days and thanks to your video I can always stroll down memory lane while looking at my old photos as well.
The music accompanying this video is very relaxing as well.
Thank you so much for putting this compilation together.
Peace and love.
The young lady at 8:05 sitting on the sofa arm with the green and floral dress with bell sleeves is absolutely stunning and beautiful!
I still have a number of things from that era. A mid-1960s ceiling to floor pole record holder with three bins that holds part of my record collection. My dad had me break apart a really cool RCA sound system (turntable radio, cabinet type, wood) decades ago. I saved the large 3' x 1.5' lid with the "His Master's Voice" applique and have it hanging on a wall. Salvaged a couple of vacuum tubes from it as well. Wish I had kept the speakers (they were quite big and swung out from the sides). Still have a 3' X 1' x 2' or so wooden curio cabinet with two sliding glass doors they probably bought sometime in the 1950s. It's supported by four screw in legs. Also have a small stand up wooden china cabinet they bought in the 1950s or early 1960s. A trio of two leather-surfaced end tables with a standalone table from the 1960s. None of this stuff will be worth millions on Antiques Road Show, but it is typical middle class stuff from the 1950s/1960s. Even when I was much younger, I was hesitant to throw away anything from the 1960s or before.
This house was built back in 1969. My wife complained about the cabinets with avocado green facings and black painted inlays around the borders of the facings. Oh, and the tiled back splash with a few random avocado green tiles. She also complained about a three panel wooden divider between the vanity and the rest of the room in the master bedroom. Each panel is a textured, translucent orange plastic sheet. Too bad. They're all still here. She's not.
As for the couches, dining room table and TVs from that era...no big loss. I do miss the avocado green refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, though. LOL
Avocado and tangerine were from 66-75
Just brilliant. Love these glances into the ordinary past.
Always love the music ! I know it never really changes but it's so soothing and reflective. My parents living room was done in Early American late 60's. Complete with lanterns and a spinningwheel table lol
Me too about the music! I actually found the four main ones used in these videos and created a library of them. I listen to them to help me fall asleep!! 🥰
@@McFlys64 help a guy out! Where do I find that music?
My mother loved EA. I still can't. Our home today is MCM, as much as we can afford it to be. Salmon (two tone) walls in living and dining, and an aqua kitchen. Our unused dining we would love to turn into a Tiki Bar, and make our home less "Open Concept". It's like living in an echo chamber, and it's only semi-open.
The world held sooooooooo much promise back then.......
The future is soooooo terrifying right now.
I'm sooooooo sad.
pole lamps - phones with cords - TV's in wooden cabinets - flowered dresses - goofy lamps on end tables - i'd love to see the cars in the garage😉
In our house the "old man" said that houses were made to live in hence the living room was part of our recreation! In other homes the living room was cordoned off almost a shrine to bourgeois attainment!!!
The first one with the two ladies, the one sitting on the couch looks like my Granny except she needs pink hair curlers.. 😊
I grew up in the 70s but so many of the photos remind me of my childhood..
Thank you for sharing..
Love them🥰❣
Thank you for including people of all colors in this video. If you watch a lot of movies from those days one might think we didn’t exist. ❤️
My mother worked outside the home, so we were sent to child care. My most fond memories of the early 60's are of the sweet and oh so precious black ladies who loved, cared, and coddled us until I was at least 5. Geneveve, I love and miss you and know you are with Jesus. Can't wait to see you. Thank you SO much for taking such great care of us. I think this is why we raised our children to not be racist. Love has no color. God is so good!!!!
@@SousChef77: I’m sure Geneveve and the other “oh so precious black ladies” who coddled you (and most likely sacrificed countless hours with their own families) were wonderful human beings. Too bad the only Black people your family associated with were servants.
Fiberglass drapes (yes, it was a thing!) naugahide couches, shadow boxes for trinkets, floor to ceiling pole lamps, granny square throws....ahhh it sure takes me back LOL.
I was born in 1956 so I remember the mid to late 60s very well. Some of these rooms and furniture looked really nice, but I think they were mostly in the US by the look of them. The fashion was lovely as well. I remember the dresses with hanging sleeves and the dresses with frills around the bottom. In England we called them ‘twisting dresses’.
Very nice video. Thank you.
This was like a time machine back to my grandparents homes in the 1980's until 2016 and 2020.
Loved the hair and clothes also.
You can get lots of books with famous people and events of the 60s but this is what life was really like.
I have many photos of family get togethers that showed the adults with a cigarette in one hand and a
highball in the other.
I can just describe all those 60's era living rooms in one word: SUAVE. 👨🏻🎨
I think I might have been in all of these rooms! Fantastic
I smiled through the whole video. Thank you for that trip down memory lane.
Boy did this bring back memories! Thank you for sharing!! I can just see the car in the driveway and my dad mowing the lawn. The back yard cookouts......
The swag lamp at the end! Priceless.
I love that!
These lovely photos just take me back to a happy time. Interestingly, when I clicked the "Like button" it turned to "622" which happened to be my childhood address beginning from 1964. Perfect!! 🤍🌼🤍Thank you for this great video!!
wish we had that style and comfort today
Ahhh, couldn't get enough waiting for the next one.
lot of memories came up for me looking at these photos...born in the early 50's, teen yrs in 60's...married in 69..this was my furniture in my first home.lol...
When I watch this i feel like I recognize everyone in the photos, lol.
I've got to say that I THOROUGHLY enjoy each and every one of the various "nostalgia" videos that you post to UA-cam. And the music that plays with most of them (which, I believe you call Nice and Easy and Running Waters) is absolutely perfect for the various trips back through time. It wouldn't be one of your videos without those two pieces of music. Being a car guy, I particularly love the videos that show photos of everyday people posing with their cars...I can't get enough of those! This video was awesome, too, as it reminded me so well of my parent's living rooms throughout the 1960's. Terrific job, as always!!
4:00 and 5:13 Love the audio gear set into the coffee table. I repair vintage audio gear and I'll tell you, there's no way for most modern equipment to recreate the wonderful sounds that good quality gear from the 60's and 70's can make. 4:36 A different time. Who of you in the last 20 years or so has wanted a picture of the President to have pride of place on your living room wall?
not the current president, he's a complete embarrassment
@@phukyergreennewdeal1053 No one for the last 60 years! I want one of Teddy Roosevelt...
@@phukyergreennewdeal1053
At least he hasn’t attempted a coup to overthrow our government, like your mentor and savior.
@@phukyergreennewdeal1053 the orange faced orangutan was the embarrassment. What president tells us to inject bleach to get rid of the virus? A total baboon that's who. Stood right in front of all the world to say we could inject bleach into our veins. Then asked the doctor if it would be feasible to do this. What a moron.
I WAS 10 WHEN THE 60'S HIT AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE. LIFE WAS GOOD HERE IN CANADA AND IGNORANCE WAS TRULY BLISS!!
This kind of thing is nostalgic but as someone who can remember it all it's not all good. I was born in 1950, and both my parents smoked, as did most adults then. Everything in the house reeked of smoke and I developed allergies while my younger brother became asthmatic. Rooms were small and usually crowded with Kitschy stuff, though my mother had better taste than most.
whatever karen...
Pretty swell!! Thanks for sharing! I love some of those pieces of furniture!
warm and fuzzy memories for us born in the 60ies! Thank you!
I remember living rooms at this time being plastic covered furniture in a room you didn't go into as a child. Color console TV never used, furniture not used, cigarettes' in a Jewel box unsmoked, lighter no fuel long since dried up. And not one spot of dust ever. You didn't ever even pass through that room for fear of being killed by one of the women in the family, which I think back then was still legal.
I was born in 1962 I remember when homes and people looked like this, I miss the good old days
My childhood 💖
Thank you for the wonderful memories. These photos are priceless 👏👏❤️❤️
The console TVs were great.
My parents had a star splash? Clock as well.
In spite of the funky clothing and hair styles. I really miss those times. The posing always made me giggle. I swear i know some of those folks! Wink*
I was blissfully unaware of the discord going on around.
Todays technology and media has people in such a frenzied lather !
Thank You for the flashback.. 🤗
My wife's grandparents still had a living room like these in the early 90s. We would go over and have a formal lunch, after mass, on Sundays. Her grandmother was a Chicago Italian who could really cook. He grandfather was a retired Air Force Colonel, from the WWII through Vietnam era. He came from a Polish family and still spoke it (RIP). Two wonderful people.
Lots of split level end tables. Very practical design.
I was looking at those and wondering if I could find one!
I’m with Dennis LePorte, the music is, IMHO, the best part of these videos! Please keep using the same tunes, I’ve come to rely on hearing them when I watch a new video. 😉👍🥰
This brought back so many memories for me. Wonderful job!! Thank you!
The 'starburst' wall clock and the huge bizarre lamps, including the pole lamps that everyone had. Also...the rabbit ears on all the TVs and the giant ashtrays.... Funny to see after all these years. Thanks
Thanks for the trip back to my childhood 👍
How neat to see these!
Fascinating,a little bit of time travel of sorts,couldn't help but notice a copy of Time magazine on one of the latter pictures look that up and you've possibly got an idea when the photo was taken,we had 3 TV channels back then in England,furniture was similar and yes we had the origional Hawaii 5-0 one of the first programmes I can remember as a youngster.
Thanks for another super upload.Best wishes to the uploader,family,friends and of course fellow fans.
I noticed that also. 'Tis sitting on a copy of Scientific American.
The image on the Time mag looks very much like Lyndon Johnson ... which could be very likely, considering the era.
@@charlesmadison1384 Thank you for the info,all these clues are there and fun to pinpoint a time, Best wishes.
Both of the Time magazine covers shown in this collection I believe depicted President Lyndon Johnson. Wasn't he voted man of the year by Time at one point? Vietnam war and raging student protests against it, and civil rights unrest aplenty. No it was not a gentler more innocent time unless you were a blissfully ignorant child, which I suspect many were, that left nostalgic comments here. Rose colored glasses abound apparently.
@@nicolasrossi5978 Per Time's own site, LBJ was their Man of the year in 1964 and 1967.
It was a lot gentler in terms of politeness, community, safety, and crime. I don't think anyone is suggesting it was utopia, but you might want to pay attention to those of us who have lived both then and now. We know which period was more civilized.
Thank you for these sweet photos.
Some of these people may well be alive today and have watched these clips of themselves.
It’s just so nostalgic for me
I love the simple designs, so classic! Beautiful montage, thank you.
And who can forget the clear slipcovers on the sofa and Lazy Boy? Some living rooms were just for looks and you actually watched TV and ate in the den.
Interesting to revisit these older photos. Quite a marked contrast between the living rooms of those folks who actually had money (much higher quality furnishings, artwork, bric-a-brac) and those that may have had 'aspirations', but lacked both the money, and the sophistication, or decorating sensibilities to pull it off, often tending towards the 'very tacky'. I had various family branches who could be said to have inhabited both niches/socioeconomic groups. So, much of what is shown is quite familiar, from one end of that spectrum, or the other. A pleasant look back. Thanks
The family around the dining room table discussing the world events. Its where I learned to think critically and how to write essays on exams by restating the question. And how to never lie.
Great photos, every picture I would see little things that would remind me of earlier days visiting family, usually during the holidays. Thank you for bringing back memories of simpler times
Wow! Those living rooms sure look like our living room when I was a kid growing up. Thanks for the memories!
Funny how the back of the couches normally touch the wall. Nowadays, couches are in the middle of the room
Excellent. It has a Partridge Family vibe.
I am 70 years and spent eighteen years living a house in Illinois in the sixties.
We had a sunken living room, big fireplace and a white satin couch. And of course, kids were infrequent visitors. Haha
Has anyone noticed all the TVs were switched off in the photos
I’ve always noticed that American tvs seem to be very low down, near the floor, whereas in the uk they were generally placed higher or even on a table.
Yes back in the 60s/70s the table would be the norm because unlike the states brits houses where tiny a lot of brits lived in 2up2dns the front room was a no go area kept immaculate just in case the Queen called so it was placed on the table or in my house on a spare dining chair in the back room come kitchen there was no couch just the table chairs watching any film was torture
@@flateman3150 it was also torture when the signal was poor or practically non existent and you had to keep hitting the telly or moving the pathetic set top aerial about to get a decent picture. And don’t get me started on the vertical and horizontal hold adjustments ! I don’t know how we managed to watch anything actually.
Thanks this brought back memories!
I remember orange, black, cream, and brown carpet. If company was coming, after vacuuming we would have to rake ourselves out of the room removing any footprints. There was such an importance by my parents to make whatever they had look perfect. We were not rich but not poor. Mom was very tidy.
I think all these people shopped at the same place as my parents. Some are almost scary similar to our house😂🤠🤠
I was born late 60s and the furniture then was great and I love antique as well😉
Interesting. My family photos from the 1950s on look nothing like this. They had Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Queen Anne made of traditional solid wood with Chintz fabrics, leather, silk wall covering, The floors were wood with large Asian or Persian looking rugs. The TVs looked the same. Maybe it is a South Carolina thing. Great photos - I learned a lot.
Wow the nostalgia is killing me, those were primitive times compared to today but i sure do miss them.
( Born September 1959 )
I would not say primitive. Today is with the exception of technology much more primitive. People actually had human interaction with each other. Kids played in the neighborhoods with no fear and gun violence was almost unheard of so actually today is much more primitive.
The word "primitive" is relative. When comparing technology, yes. When comparing human behavior and a sense of family and community, I would say no. Today's society in general is less civilized, less ethical, less trusting and more fragmented.
Just nice to see people without their eyes glued to a “phone”
yes
Unfortunately, in the 1960's my parents' living room was tenaciously holding on to the 1940's!
The 1960s I was 4 years old to 14 year's old and the only time in my life that I was truly truly happy. 😢
Finally, a video showing real people in real homes as it was then instead of lifestyles of the rich and trendy and their ultra-modern homes. Thank you for the chance to see it again, enjoyed it!
I love how the TV isn't front and center as it is today.. people knew how to live back then..
Groovy 😊
I'm curious to know the stories relating those people...wow the fashion back then ❤
Dear GOD, I can easily see myself in one of those pictures… In my mom and Dad’s living room.
Good ol days....if only we had a time machine...
I never did like the furniture from back then. It was too uncomfortable. It was made to look at, not sit on! Our TV was in the den and that's where the comfortable couch and chair was and where we watched TV. The living room had the new looking, square shaped furniture that was all covered in plastic. Our evil step-mom would never allow us boys to sit on any of HER furniture in the living room and we were forbidden to even walk through it! So, when she did something that made us mad we'd wait until she was gone and go sit on her furniture! Take THAT you old hag! We really showed her!
Hahah thanks for sharing that funny story
My great grandmas place still looks like this just a bit more stuff. These videos remind me of her.
I love all of the really long sofas.
Still love this look
At 4:03 is an audiophile's 1960s dream: a coffee table console (with its sliding top cover open to reveal a boss reel to reel and other tuning goodies) with two huge speaker boxes against the wall (table lamps on top)
Loved the turquoise couch and chair with the pale pink drapes at the 1:50 mark. I'd buy them today if I could find them!
Our family had a turquoise sofa!
I love the living rooms from back in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
I grew up in the 70's and 80', not much was different, I remember the browns, so many browns and dusty pinks in the 80's 😃
Thank You!"
Really cool!!!!!
One thing I didn't see was crochet doilies on every surface. :)
Takes me back to where I wish I was.
