A step back in time: Phoenix woman transforms her home into a 1950s time capsule

[@soufwesthoustontx]

Love when people make their homes/spaces their own.

[@sandyheredia3027]

I do too. We shouldn’t live with trends, but what we love.

[@soufwesthoustontx]

@@sandyheredia3027 Agreed!

[@MrSloika]

Right, instead of thinking about what will get them the best ROI when they flip the place.

[@MyEnime]

@@sandyheredia3027 isnt that what everyone does? and this 50s kitch is also a trend. hang out with any rockabilly peeps and its all over

[@DebbiePotter-xh7kv]

Nothing makes me cringe more then hearing, it’s trendy 😬

[@lindsaypacker3033]

Her home is so much fun. I think she did a nice job, some things were a bit too kitschy but hey, I still liked it. She has a great respect for older things and understands that just because something is “old” doesn’t mean it has to be thrown out.

[@jeromeglick]

A 21st-century refuge for time-travelers from the '50s.

[@ambrosiarodriguez9134]

I’d say refuge from this time period, PERIOD 😅❤

[@morganwhite2176]

Beautiful home!! More style than most people have. You open the door in other people’s houses and it’s like an episode from Hoarders.

[@jacquiandp-dog7755]

Or the opposite - where it is completely sterile and bare, like no one even lives there. That always gives me the creeps too.

[@morganwhite2176]

@@jacquiandp-dog7755This ladies home is beautiful though ❤

[@lindsaypacker3033]

That was a fun little trip! I enjoyed all of her decor and the way she put it together. She seems like a person that has true appreciation for all things vintage.❤️

[@christianbrother4724]

Love it! I did the same thing to my home in Austin. Complete with a 58 Ford to drive.

[@AvecPoesie]

As a lover of Vintage and Antiques, Rochelle's Home is a well-curated Dream. 🖤

[@DashPar]

That is cool! And 1950’s appliances still working. Good luck with a 2020’s appliance working 70 years later! Good luck with 2020’s appliance working 3 years later!!

[@Clevelandsteamer324]

Planned obsolescence

[@DeborahE7]

That’s why I recently paid a lot of money for a Speed Queen laundry set as I’m tired of cheaper sets breaking down. You get what you pay for.

[@josephconsoli4128]

That's so awesome! Anything but the sterile undefined malaise of today's tastes. My dream too has always been this idea, but with 1930's art-deco styling, although I LOVE the '50's too.

[@jelsner5077]

I love her aesthetic! The pink hair, the Gothic dressing room, the pink kitchen appliances...very cool. I wish she was my next-door neighbor

[@experimental0000]

That is pretty awesome. I'm genuinely happy that she was able to make this happen for her.

[@mark-xx1lt]

It's very cool to be able to pick a decade in time and live accordingly. This was a lot of fun. Thank you for this tour.

[@hippychickshannong3884]

Love it. We also have a mid century home and chose to decorate with vintage /older pieces. Its a refuge from the crazy world and feel like we are in our grandparents home.

[@Julito-ty5ph]

Good for you, congratulations on your beautiful home snd spectacular collection ❤

[@Davett53]

Me and my friends we were born in the 1950s, were now in our 70s, but we loved the styles from our youth. Many of us collect those decor items, from that time period. One friend grew up in the fabulous Mid Century Modern 1950s home, and moved back in when her folks passed away. It looks like a time capsule, there is a very "Jetson-esque" kitchen with a floating central counter with a built-in range, and oven is elevated and on another wall. There is a 2 sided flagstone chimney, with a glass insert in the fire box, so you can see into the living room, or vice-versa see into the kitchen from the living room. The house is modestly sized and a single floor, but there is the built-in intercom system, so one can talk to family members, there are speakers and receivers in each room wired to a central console in the dining room with a swing-out microphone. Pastel 50s linoleum, and wall colors, and counter tops with tiny boomer-rang motif patterns across the surface.

[@MrSloika]

The 50s boomerang laminates are now so popular that Formica has brought it back into production.

[@Davett53]

@@MrSloika Thanks, I was already aware of that. I think they started to re-issue a whole pallet of colors & patterns as early as the late 1980s & early 90s . I was building non-functional, Art furniture in the mid 1980s for exhibitions in art galleries. My furniture had a 1950s retro look to it. There used to be countertop materials stores, in the USA,....where sometimes you could find unused original issue Boomerang patterned Formica™. I never got to install any in my house,...but I had odds and ends of the material, in my studio. That I incorporated into my art work .

[@O.k.lie2me444]

Cool

[@redmondii]

Great for a home made movie

[@itzchaseyboi]

I’ve always had a similar dream to build and live in a time capsule home, mine will be based more around 90s/early 2000s. Lots of hunter green, seafoam carpets, decorative wallpapers from that era. All of my appliances, electronics and furniture will be from that era as well with no modern shortcuts. I might have just been born in ‘99 but something about that era has always felt so comfortable to me and maybe that’s why. It’s the environment I grew up in and hold that nostalgia for.❤️

[@albertfarraro5523]

Love this home. I always loved all things mid century modern.

[@dp92551]

Love it! 👍🏽 Everything you selected it tasteful!

[@rubydawn1]

so beautiful they put it together so well I don t thing she missed out its like she belongs in that era.

[@bender1111]

I applaud this woman. Well done, ma'am.

[@WilliamBrothers]

Amazing items in that house

[@lauracampa1838]

Fabulous!! I love it!!

[@JesseSaintJesse]

That tiki room is the best! I wonder what her favourite 50's cocktail is.

[@M3h3ndr3]

To be fair, 50s is a good look, i mean you can have 50s furniture and wallpaper and still own an iphone there is no negative side :)

[@al_dente4777]

If that was my bedroom, I'd have a 1960 Mercury station wagon in there, as my bed

[@savannahsavage6485]

01:33 my Nana has that same exact oven that’s in the was but it’s green and pretty much that same stove top to she even has the black tin covers that go over each of the burners still lol

[@ambrosiarodriguez9134]

This totally brightens my heart I love it. I am so happy you live in your dream.❤❤❤

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

I recognize a few knick knacks (eg. the fake grapes) that my grandparents had. Her house is like a movie or tv set! I wonder if she has a couple of 50's cars to park in the carport. Really interesting.

[@Haffmatthew]

What a lovely space!

[@amandatrayes5272]

What a beautiful job she's done. Brava!

[@ronnymatthews4133]

Love her color scheme in the interior, her kitchen with the built-ins, is to die for. Cool!

[@melissafrench344]

It's beautiful! I absolutely love it and wish house's still looked like this

[@marksongbird7534]

Awesome, i have always wanted to furnish a room from the 60s

Her tiki room was very cool

[@rsuriyop]

I love it. I love originality and I love all things vintage. ❤️

[@JWimpy]

Beautiful home. I wish we could go back to the 50s. It was the greatest time of my life. As for her pink hair, I never saw anyone with pink hair in the fifties.

[@gamerboyofficalyt]

This should be a trend... Lets call it "Reverse renovation"

[@CarsandCats]

NOBODY had pink hair in the 50's. She blew it.

[@nancy-d2m2j]

This is a girl after my own heart!

[@everythinghomerepair1747]

I wonder if she kept the two prong outlets and fuse box in that house lol.

[@jeromeglick]

Even my parents still have the tube TV and antenna on the roof but she doesn't even want to have that.

[@iftheseoldbeastscouldtalk7796]

Dude, try everything but the 2 prong and fuse box. My house save for a few areas where there are nuclear age or older additions and where inline splices were replaced by junctioned romex solely for extra circuits, we have all original K&T. I live every day like it's 1930, and grounding was a joke. Thankfully, ours was declared ok by a professional because of the craftsmanship of the depression.

[@everything90s94]

I put a flat screen into a 80s TV console because my 85 year old mother refused to hang a flat screen on the wall.

[@Mouserjan0222]

I don't recall any 50's housewife with neon pink hair

There is something quite comforting about American style 1950s homes! Here in the uk they wernt so nice lookn but the American ones are lovely!

[@Violet-du9bk]

What a DREAM!

[@es-hs9fd]

😅Well done! I’m curious to know what her line of work is and what her thoughts are on MCM homes in regards to architecture. It would incredible to see all her furniture in an Eichler home.

[@jessicapearson9479]

Yeah...... ummmmmm...... this is actually not the norm for the 1950s home. Also, a good amount of it is actually 70s.

Good to see a kitchen with walls, a door and no stupid, giant island. There's too much kitsch for my liking, but it's something different from the ticky-tacky sub-divisions.

That's strange, I don't remember any women with pink hair back then, a color that burns the retinas any day for sure! 😵 WWCPS? (what would Charles Phoenix say? 🤔)

[@O.k.lie2me444]

Well, I would say, if it makes her happy, have pink hair

[@CarsandCats]

She has a 50's museum but clearly doesn't live the lifestyle. "Netflix" goes with the pink hair.

[@sandyheredia3027]

[@clivevreeswijk4555]

Homes from the late 50s to the mid 60s were more modern than the garish over done homes of today, I secretly laugh when I see many of todays kitchens, because, it was what my parents thought was stylish. To be fair there are outliers that are stunningly stylish without all the fake heavy wood work. And lets not forget, Danish modern from the 50s and 60s command princely sums due to their timeless simple modernity.

[@ArtCore138]

Her house looks like a house from TV in the 50s. Not really what most normal people's houses looked like back then. Imagine calling the news because you are into antiques.

[@BODUKE3201]

Cool

[@katarzynamariamuszynska2811]

Its beautiful I wonder what She does for job? I guess its expensive Good that she met guy who share that with her
