daily musings of a vintage addict * I am totally obsessed with all things vintage * trying to keep up with my past...and sometimes ordinary everyday life
here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Ugh! This is ugly indeed!
I'm truly happy that you are a survivor Robyn!
Btw did the cyclone I've heard about in the news affected your area too? I so hope not!
It could only be in America...our house is a seventies house, but nothing like those photos! In Australia (well, Melbourne) in the seventies, it was apparently fashionable to have exposed oregon beams all through your house, brick and/or cedar feature walls, imitation woodgrain laminate in the kitchen, dark blue tiles in the bathroom. Well, that's what we've got, and that's what is staying there because we can't afford to change it!!
I don't think it was in our part of america because our house or anyones I saw never looked like that... must have been Hollywood or New York City homes... that is not vintage to me at all!
no thanks on THAT vintage lovely...nope, nada, nyet.
=O)
Yuck! That is indeed very ugly! Vintage...perhaps..bad taste..for certain! Hope this find you well and SAFE Ms Robyn...xo
oooh couldn't agree with you more
Because I am a 70's child, I have never classified 70's as vintage. to me vintage means 50's or earlier, but I guesss it's all relative...
At least prior to the 60's and 70's they had taste!!!
Truly yucky indeed!
Hoping you are o.k. Robyn and the cyclone didn't affect your area.
Absolutely priceless!
I remember: Harvest Gold and Avocado appliances. Track lighting. Bar stools with backs. A lot of orange. Z-Brick. Macrame. Oh mercy, the macrame.
oh dear - not to my taste either! I loved the seventies but not this type of stuff!
Um, wow, there is some truly horrendous decorating faux pas going on there! I have to say though that I saw a few little thingies I wouldn't mind getting my paws on, hehehe. I have a love of bad taste you see. The tackier something is, the more I'm prone to bringing it home. Fortunately for me and my BJ, our new home is small and I've taken a tough stance on my hoarding of tacky shite habit - there is to be no more. So for now I have to be satisfied with what I have and with surfing that hilarious site!
Brady Bunch house was cool!
YUK!!!!!!!!
Just cheking if you've been here posting Robyn, I really hope you haven't been hit by the storm!
