Orange shag?!
How retro!
;-)
I have two mint green bathrooms - and I love it!
One has a new white toilet so eventually I’ll have to find a replacement vintage mint one to replace it.
We’ve been here full time for almost three years now, and I’m glad I’ve waited to work on a lot of things because I’ve changed my mind after living in the house.
Do you find yourself doing that, CottonBall?
Yes I do! There are things about how things were built in the 70s that I actually find I like better than new construction.
Mint green sounds pretty. Ours are avocado. :(. I actually like the blue though, it’s a happy light blue color.
The thing I liked about the old kitchen was the corner. The cabinets are all short show today’s boxes of cereal couldn’t even fit in there, so keeping those cabinets wasn’t an option. Plus they didn’t go all the way to the ceiling.
But the corner units were awesome, too and bottom.. It was just two cabinets put together with the corner section open to both doors next to it, so you could store things in it. It wasn’t the easiest to reach but it was a very good use of the space. And cheaply done. When we got the new cabinets my only choice was a Lazy Susan or to have the corner blocked off. I didn’t even get the option of having it open without something very expensive minute! in the Lazy Susan doesn’t make great use of the space either. Although I have to admit, it is handy. But it was an outrageous sum!
Now our house is just a plain old 70s box. Nothing fancy, none of those pretty architectural features of older homes. So there’s not much else to love about it…
Where are you living? Is this something that was a vacation home?
