My house was built in the 60’s. We tiled the bathroom and kitchen with vintage British tile from, yes you guessed it. Now meet the latest addition to the retro family:
As you can see, furniture makers were producing some pretty sweet designs with barrels and Naugahyde back in the Summer of Love.
In addition to cracking me up whenever I walk into the room, I have to say that my house is utterly transformed by the addition of…seating. We didn’t have a single chair in the house, before. Diner booths, we have. But being able to SIT and TALK without feeling like we’re supposed to drop a quarter in the juke box–now that’s just so civilized!
Give me a week and the couch’ll turn into yet another place to store discarded clothing. But for now, I’m all about the conversation nook. Even if the conversation is all about how ridiculous the furniture is.
Chris, Where did you find this “ensemble?” A new stove and this too? Wow! Dad
I thought I did make a comment. Where did you find this collection? It is so you.
Ohmigawd!
Oh, that’s what a barrel and Naugahyde set looks like! Hmmm, I still say don’t sit on it in shorts when it’s hot out–your thigh skin will stay on it when you get up! The addition of the colored diamonds is a nice touch.
