1950s Vintage Mid Century Home Tour 

We try and have as much fun as possible! You must love where you live to find happiness! Well at least that is our motto...and you are absolutely correct a home of the 50's would have had many elements of the past! But these are the elements we have collected and displayed!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you! It's been years since we've done something of our own. Once we finish the Kitchen, Bathrooms, and Flooring...we will shoot a video of our own! Then we will tackle our yard!

The couches are swell and so hard to find in great shape these days! We have been blessed to find such great pieces over the years!

The height of Atomic Era design!!!! When most things turned towards the future filled with excitement!

@@emilyrodriguez5871 A great time to be alive after World War two. I wish i could travel back in time to that period. I would definitely go shopping. 😎

Thank You! This is a collection of Thrift Stores, Estate Sales, and Flea Markets! Some of the stuff has been restored but we have upgraded many pieces over the years!

Thank you! I feel infinitely lucky to be married to someone who loves this as much as I do, and be able to have a partner to put it all together!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank You for the love! It was a blast to have Charles Phoenix over! One of the highlights of my life !!!

One of our best experiences happened about 10 years ago in this tiny town called Arma, Kansas! They had an Antique/Thrift store it was filled with Mid Century goods and super low prices! I remember walking.in and finding 3 Starburst Clocks just hanging on the wall for $10-$15 etc! Atomic Shadowbox for $15! Barkcloth for $5 a panel!!! It was madness....went back 2 years later and the shop/thrift store was gone! 😭 Another place where we found great stuff was Salina, Kansas....same situation but not as much variety but still incredible things!!!!

@@emilyrodriguez5871 Minneapolis Moline, a tractor company that isnt around anymore, got on board with the atomic age and produced a model called the "jet star" in the late 50s/early 60s. they are still around and you will occasionally see them working on farms. about as atomic as agriculture can get

@@emilyrodriguez5871 small midwestern towns are the place to find the good stuff, its still almost given away. glad you had success in kansas!

Although I wouldn't call it 1950's esque. Surely it has inputs, but the atomic idealization is completely false. Especially since its been around since the 1910s with that all too familiar bursting line shimmer star. When a vintage fan thinks of the "1950's" the first thing that comes to the mind for them is oh, the diner, the 1957 Chevrolet, the offputting blonde hairstyles that almost resembled carved wood in their sharp unnatural curvature or swirl, the chrome laced red obsession seating, and the overexcess of unnaturally bright saturated blues, pinks, and greens. This couldn't be more wrong to that decade of course that in itself was a change, I can't fathom how people can talk about an entire decade through one focal point. The real 1950's was purely glorious, elegant, and held a world that didn't need to be a dream since it was long in its process since the 1900s. When I think of the 1950's, I think about why we don't mention what came before it, I assure you a nuke did not blow away society in 1940 later to rebuild its self after years of neglect. I think of how much the 1950's reminds me of the 1930's and 1940's through a new light. I remember the soft frosted colors, and richly warmed homes with lavish satin wallpapers that never clashes somehow. The ingenious architecture from brick to wood wether it be a mezzanine brick stair ledge, or a 2 piece embezzled art deco carved cabinetry. I remember the vehicles, how they really were, not that rocket nonsense, but that of a plane, a ship, possibly a... train? People never think about that do they, how locomotives have such an effect on them, because last I checked...what plane or ship really has lights on it to guide forward and infront? I think about the colors I witnessed, god half of them I've never even seen aside from a french painting or a russian palace. The iridescent lustrous liquor that shimmered the vehicles, the ones with simply opaque yet somehow just as unbelievable colors only effortlessly highlighted by the vehicles formations and embellishments that no modern vehicle could even breathe near the thought of, from dark mint forest green, to a light pale red. Icecream, cold and delicious icecream is all I can think of when I think about the color choices. Even the 1937 Hudson known for its Chocálate iridescent and english coffee in 1933. What fun, what wonderful wonderful colors. I can't stand people who choose patina over the original pallet or hardly better yet, the hot rod neon color freaks from arbitrary green, to eye bleeding fire red.

Thank You! 😘

Now that stuff is truly Thrifted!!!! The Purple bottle all the way on the left has it's original label and when we found it at the thrift store it contained Wine! They would not sale us the bottle with Alcoholic contents however! Sadly they dumped the wine that we heard smelled rancid!!!!

Thank You so much!!!! Hoping later this year or next a much more thorough experience of the other half!

She did. She thifted a ton of her items both clothing and furniture.

@@christinec2625 I was saying maybe more people should do what she does.

My house was built in 1860. I enjoy the beautiful character of my home, but I have an eclectic mix of things, mostly from the 1950sthrough the 70s. It’s what I remember at my grandparents summer house that was built in the 1700s. It was full of cast-off kitsch.

Atomic stuff is the best! I can't take all the credit...my husband is the one behind the magic he introduced me to the world of the Atomic!

Everything you have accumulated is precisely what my home as all about!! Your table lighting is beyond...beyond cool! Hard to find in Western Washington...I love Reglor of and especially the Majestic line..I'm still looking for just one lamp!! Cheers to you and your husband for making me search for my Atomic dreams!! BTW. love your vintage clothing..perhaps you should think seriously about doing a reality TV show!!!😎👍

@@steveensminger4750 I completely understand! Atomic Chalkware Lamps, Moss Lamps, and Majestic are amongst my favorite! Such wild and amazing designs!

Everything in our home is meant to support he lamps! The both of us are lamp fanatics!!!!

So excited to share my home with the vintage community! I will eventually give everyone the full tour of our home one day!!!

Naw, that’s a different kind of MCM, a totally different look and attitude.

@@HeirOfNothingInParticular Fir your information we do dress and live that way even appliances apart from mobiles.

That's really sweet! I love what I love and leave it at that!!!!! If others find inspiration I could not ask for anything else!

I dont think so. Neegans Manley, and the dude.

It does work but I won't pay for landline.

Meh, you are who you are. Each to their own! The "less is more" lacks heart. That's our opinion at least.

Thank You!!!! Can't wait to share the other half of the home one of these days!!!
