Justin posted the 1956 house he and his wife bought in Jasper, Indiana. It is a complete time capsule. Absolutely NOTHING has been updated or touched.

Everything is still here- look at the appliances. All original. This is not like the classy expensive updated mid century homes we’ve seen before.

The furniture has to be the original pieces and sets the previous owners bought.

The wall hangings are aged.

This is an interesting piece, this bar.

Look at the bathroom- pink fixtures.

Those lamps!

The master bath has a yellow tub and fixtures.

A 2nd bdm. Even the bedding is vintage.

And, this bath has blue Fixtures. Wow, I would definitely keep them.

More cool lamps and original furniture in the knotty pine family room.

Wow, look at the built-ins in the office.

The lower floor.

The basement is cool- look at that floor! And, the TV. The bar is classic. I wonder if they were leaving any of this.

Off the rec room is a 2nd kitchen. A pink fridge!

And, there’s this room, too. Look at the stone wall.

for the love of old houses

I’m reblogging this just because it’s great reference. Who knows if i ever get the chance to draw a fifties living room?

@teatotally – please join me in whimpering with a strong need to go to there.

Wow, honestly this is the first time I’ve seen a pristine 50s house that made me go “Oh THAT’S why they made those choices”??? Like, you usually only see old houses looking VERY worn-down and kinda sad, but this looks like we time-traveled into the past when it was new and tidy, and suddenly some of those choices that feel odd today make SENSE, because while they were new and loved, the now-odd furniture and appliance colors and whatnot look NICE. It’s still an “outdated” style but it doesn’t look “old.” Very neat glimpse at history!

A simple tile platform raised from the hardwood floor in the main room designates the kitchen area proper and transforms this large area into functionally distinct spaces. The soft blue-green color tones that characterize the walls, ceiling, and cabinets for a gentle backdrop to the dark appliances and greenish black counter stools.
