What do you do when life presents you with a time machine? You jump into it, of course! Especially if that time machine is only four doors down the street. Dear readers, hitch up your bell bottoms, because you are about to enter the 1970s! I know, right? It’s totally rad! And where is this […]
This perfectly preserved mid-century Winnipeg home still holds the original owners’ modernist furniture and the funky wall coverings they used.
In 60s and 70s having a finished basement meant having low suspended ceilings, rust-carpeting, dark wood paneling and of course, a traditional basement-bar which may or may not have been upholstered with faux leather. Design tastes have changed and so have basements. See more retro basement photos on Pinterest “The 70s Basement” Updating your […]
We take a look back at some of the world's famous sofas that have graced our TV screens over the years!
Basements were big in post War America if the number of ads for them is any indication. This ad by Armstrong for asphalt tile appeared in American Home.
Players Club, a '70s-styled basement arcade bar opening in Logan Circle on March 12, has all the classic games: pinball, Skee-Ball, coin-operated pool tables, PacMan. And then there's the claw machine... only this one grabs sex toys. "Why not?," says co-owner Ian Hilton, who operates the Brixton, El Rey, and a bunch of other U Street-centric

Basements are often a last priority for people when decorating a home. I guess that's because it's usually not the main living area, entertaining happens closer to the kitchen and living room, and they are often used for extra storage. I totally get that. But Ethan and I have really enjoyed keeping our TV off of the main floor and out of the bedrooms. During the day, the kids don't really think about it and don't ask to watch it most days. That being said, a lot of our toys are downstairs, along with my treadmill and craft room. Also,
Project by: Tyler Karu of Landing Design Location: Portland, Maine Tyler was able to create a 70s-inspired space that hits all the design high notes of the decade without veering into parody or camp. With some smartly shopped pieces and warm colors, this home is as eye-catching as it is welcoming. From Tyler: When my clients brought me on board, immediately after purchasing the property, they informed me that their inspiration was “seventies conversation pit.” I was elated.
Our first midcentury house with a ballroom. Yes, a ballroom! I’ll say it again: A ballroom! Minnesota Michelle writes: Dear Pam, My husband and I weren’t even looking for a new house. We were quite happy with our 1956 Marvin Anderson Rambler. There was only one problem: My husband’s menagerie of vintage pinball machines and…
This week got a l'il emotional as I bid goodbye to my grandparent's home. Even though they both had passed a while back, my whole family was a bit attached to their place and it took some time to finally decide to let it go. For me, the hardest part about it was that it was a perfect time capsule complete with wood paneling, funky carpets and even rotary phones (which now reside in my home). It was like stepping into my childhood every time i went there: I played with my Mike Power: Atomic Man in this corner, wrote my first post college resume on that desk and more recently filmed the Brick Mantooth toy commerical here. The house was built in the mid 1960s and honestly I think they stopped decorating around 1972. They kept everything perfect so it was museum quality and it was also filled with weird "high tech" items like electric space heaters and intercoms in every room! Seriously, what kid wouldn't play with this for hours? It was like living in the Venture compound! This house will forever remind me of catalogs (my grandmother kept them for years, so yeah I got it from her), the Lawrence Welk show (which I hated then but now cannot get enough of) and Dean Martin records. I'm sorry to see it pass but I'm also taking all of those things with me, so it's never truly left has it? Speaking of "taking it with me" I did manage to inherit something, somehow my siblings, parents and even nephew didn't fight me from getting what was truly mine. Yes, this magnificent belt massage device works and it's all mine! Those fools just let me have it. Thanks for reading, have a terrific weekend!

I come from a proud family of bar folk. My earliest memory involves being behind my dad’s bar, poking my tiny toddler finger into the disgusting holes of the bar mats, and sniffing the scent of stale beer. (I imagine that’s why, to this day, I can’t stand the aroma of beer. Wine or whiskey, please!) My paternal grandma Ann had a groovy retro rec room in her basement, complete with wood-paneled walls and all things olive green, brown, and orange. But the real kicker?

Amy lives in a 1916 bungalow that was renovated in the 1950s, including, golly: This fantastic basement hideaway that she has christened, “The Naughty Pine Lounge.” But. Oopsy. Methinks those gashes in the wood suggest it’s pecky cypress not knotty pine. No matter which: The Naughty Pine Lounge is more than Nice! Amy writes: My…
