Also, jump on eBay and pick up a Sillisculpt or two, and salt 'em around the room. Then your guests will REALLY feel the "time machine" effect. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/49274/Sillsculpt-1015934.jpg And I can't believe no one remembered the fireplace.

Quote HistoryNow we’re talkin’! I paid way too much for this 1975 Yamaha dealer chair in rough shape and spent a bunch of time and money restoring it. Stripped and painted it myself and had a local upholsterer do a little more modern look with flat black leather and memory foam. Damn comfortable! Had been trying to buy a pair of these for 30 years to no avail when this one popped up. Some things you just have to have...

Avocado green and harvest gold were the only two colors there were in the 70s. My dad still has and uses Corelle dishes with the little green flowers around the edges. My aunt still has the exact same dishes with gold flowers. And we had a green fridge, wall oven, and stovetop. The fridge has long since been replaced, but the stovetop and wall oven are still rocking the green! (Those Corelle dishes are awesome, BTW. Light, thin, and very shatter-resistant.

Mostly it was black folks that bought these, but there were a couple of white families that did too. I used to love to crash out and nap on these. They were really comfortable. Well, I was trying to post a pic of the red and black velvet couches we sold. It was really long velvet, not like all the pics I'm finding with the short velvet. This stuff, you could rub the velvet and change the direction it laid. |
