1950's House Tour! 

Absolutely delightful and I agree it is so timely to see some of these antiques which were part of our daily life.

63 here, and yes…. it was fabulous, and represents such a brilliantly optimistic time in America…..representing the proverbial THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND, and sadly, they ended…! These days, there are people that have NOT ONCE held a real, bound book in their hands TO READ FOR PLEASURE! They’ve never known the joy and excitement of sneaking under the covers with a book, excited to DISOBEY BEDTIME RULES… because I simply couldn’t wait till morning to read my new Nancy Drew book! I also read before school, after school, before bed, in addition to after bedtime lol (🤫)! My weekends often consisted of biking to the local library AT LEAST ONCE!!!!! Ah yes……indeed those were the days!

In the 1950s we were in the midst of the Cold War with the USSR which could have brought on WWIII. There was just an illusion of " peace" in your tiny little head. 😂 Yes, I was alive then.

​@@moxievintage1390Do you know at all that the global geopolitics were pretty dangerous? America was " at war" with the Soviet Union which didn't end until 1991.

Same. It’s such a charming house and it’s nice to see houses actually look like lived in homes instead of beige on beige IKEA model rooms.

I appreciate the aesthetic -- my grandma's house is from then -- but I would NEVER want to be a woman from a different era.

@@Heyu7her3why? Women got rights in 1920s. Blacks didn’t get them until 1964 and gays didn’t get them until 2015. Women were fine in the 60s

I would have loved to lived in the 1950s. People will complain just to start trouble because they can with social media. Another good thing about the 1950s was no social media! 😅

@@LucasFernandez-fk8se The problem was that after WW2, a lot of those rights were revoked again. Men fought in the war and women did a lot of jobs that man used to have. And they succeded! After war, a lot of men disliked that a woman could do a man's jobs and they got a lot stricter again. There's a lot of intersting studies on that. Sadly, many men came back with PTSD and difficulties in emotions. As a result, it was common to beat your wives and tell them that all women are worth less than men. They needed permission of a male guardian for a lot of things like getting a job or having a savings account. So yeah, women had more rights and better lives than in the 19th century, but it still wasn't as glamorous as some people portray it to be.

@@claudiaschneider3077 You really should educate yourself and not only watch these kinds of fake era videos tho :)

I think we would all die of joy to see any footage of your home if that ever strikes you as fun to do. But in the meantime, we will send happy grins to you and your ancestors and your ancestral home... and Georgian china. lol. 😊

I loved your comment,

Still have my mom's secretary, she had bought it used early in her marriage

@@tomwesley7884 they are gorgeous. They don't make them like that anymore. Especially with the details & little hidden nooks in the desk part.

I have one, hers is missing the top piece, is yours?

@@teresayeates3437 the desk I have is intact (top & bottom)

Heheh! 😂

Those chickens were certainly begging for your company ! ❤🧡💛

@@Lake1ism yassss!! That was adorable!!! 🥰🥰

She said they were bringing the chickens with them!

Yes! I’m taking our feathery girls with us on the road trip! 🐓💕

Your home is lovely and I know your next home will be even lovelier!!

@@SageLilleyman The luckiest chickens in the world!

@@SageLilleyman I missed that part in the video and had to find out in the comments. I saw how they were happy to see you and wanted your attention.

Absolutely!!

even those built in the 60s

@@SageLilleyman door nobZ!

Cozy! 😍

Well said. The cute clothes and things are all meaningless compared to the children and relationship and the nurturing you can give them.

@@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim So true! One understands it with time.

I check back here every week and sometimes throughout the week to see if there is a new video. I hope there is a new one soon.

Was this “Goodbye”????

@@crossfittxms1 Yes.

No, she's been recording. Just haven't had the time to post. She recently posted a reel update on Instagram.
