[@innatozakian9724]

Awesome video! Love it! Thank you so much for sharing this. ♥️♥️♥️💕👗💄🎀👚👠👜👒😎💎🍒💝

[@twistoffate4791]

This is nothing short of spectacular. Thanks for letting us in to see the magic. It was a very relaxing tour with the music.

[@chelebelle2223]

Wow! Seeing all these pieces brings back fond memories of my childhood! *(sigh, smile)* I forgot to mention that the music really gives it that significant atmosphere.

[@asiabarakat5928]

Seeing all these things make me happy

[@frankcarter7146]

One of the most amazing collections ever. Mesmerising...

[@jengrenko]

I have never seen so much eyecandy in one place! It's heaven!

[@fernandoocelso2687]

Hey we just saw your comments on Facebook and Instagram. We are almost there...were aiming for end of November to upload video if all goes well.

[@annapaulikonis2433]

Love Love Love your home ✨❤️✨❤️ Please make more videos

[@MrPhotodoc]

Squeaky floor boards cannot detract us from the beautiful objects. Thanks!

[@martinhannelly9777]

Great taste , lots of admiration for a lovely home .

[@thecourageouschristian]

That is the most amazing collection i have ever seen. Beautiful!

[@barbarahaines7661]

Inspiring..thank you

[@asiabarakat5928]

Wow ... your collections and stuff are amazing

[@MelissaThompson432]

Impressive array of lamps. I'm frankly overwhelmed. And a few of those jewels made me absolutely jealous.

[@MelissaThompson432]

I will say one thing: you've convinced me that I need a two tier fiberglas shade for my chrome and cast iron geometric lamp....

[@luciefecteau1055]

This is the most beautiful Mid Century house decor I ever seen!

[@pamelajohnson8044]

LOVED THE BLONDE HERMAN WAKEFIELD FURNITURE AND LAMPS !!!

[@Andi-tu6gd]

Very enjoyable! Thank you for sharing your delightful decor finds.

[@craigzwart2682]

Let me start by saying i love everything i see in the video.There are ppl who truly live in a chosen decade of choice be it the 30's,40's or 50's to hide from todays modern fast paced world.One could sit and listen to Yma Sumac while sipping on a cocktail of choice!!!

[@emilyrodriguez5871]

Absolutely! Outside of the house we live regular lives with regular jobs. Once were home the Dresses, Nightgowns, Silk Pajamas, Slippers, Cocktails, and Jackie Gleason Easy listening music comes out! The world still exists...but inside our home its 1959!

[@NoblevilleCats]

LOVE your home, and the lighting is fabulous! We have a 1937 home, just acquired 5 years ago, and we love it! Most of our items are a tad older than yours, and some the same age. Old iron beds, lamps, furniture, all oak, pine, maple! It takes a long time to find all these treasures, but it is the best fun ever! We collect a few too many great treasures, so we have a couple of flea mkt. booths, for the overflow, which allows us to buy more treasures for our home! Again, LOVE YOUR HOME!

[@Songmandave1]

great finds.. my house looks like yours, there are many of us that love this time, and choose to live in it even in these modern times. thanks for posting. thumbs up

[@ivanj.conway9919]

There ought to be societies out there and everything, if there is enough people who think this way. I'm in this camp too, to some degree, as I love things around me and hate modern styles and trends, and thought I was odd. Well, seems like there are many more "odd" people out there, like me then. Very encouraging to see. My Best. Best of 2019. Out.

[@asiabarakat5928]

Antique and vintage stuff are my obsession ... my house is like a museum of vintage and antique finds. I think if people like us establish a group of antique and vintage lovers

[@sheiladyck5863]

@@ivanj.conway9919 watching this in 2021 and I feel exactly as you do - ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS!!!

[@ivanj.conway9919]

@@sheiladyck5863 : Hi Sheila. The Best of 2021 to You Darling. In the middle of a blizzard here, now, on this wintry, early, February, morning. Trying to fight off the winter blues again. This on top of Covid as well. Oh my! Anyway Darling, here's a link to a video of a gentlemen who really, does Vintage Decor right! Everything about his apartment I absolutely, love particularly his huge, apartment, windows and gorgeous view from them. The place is loaded with character and charm and is SOOOO, warm and inviting. All his pieces originate from around, the 40s and 50s there abouts, and I believe he said his apartment complex was built in the 50s with hardly, anything being changed, and it looks outstanding. So, so, SOOOO, much better than today's dead, boring, bland, characterless, look. So hope you enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYKvlaSMl8ppn8k At some point, I'm going to do a video about my place, and some of the interesting pieces I have, but most of my stuff is from later decades. I had someone say recently, that I'm stuck in the 70s, which is true to a point, as I love many things from that decade, but actually, the bulk of the furnishing I have are secondhand, from the 80s actually. But the place itself, gives off a 70s feel, which is why people say that, I guess. But I'm as happy as punch with that, and would not change a thing. Maybe, add a little more colour to the place, but because it's a rental, there really, is not much I can do there, either. At least, the place is not open concept and all white, THANK GOD!!!! The owner is young, and whenever I move out, she may do just, that. Rip all the older character from the place, and attempt to "modernize" it, as she hinted at that when she first, bought the place, but I told her I like it as is and need to keep my walls for privacy and because I have a cat as well, that I need to keep contained. And that's my biggest gripe I think; we've all white and open concepted everything completely, to death for over 20 odd, friggen, years now. Enough is enough I say. Enough with the metallics, and grays, and whites, and minimalism, and big, open, barn like, spaces, and everything being so damn, plain and boxy. Enough already! People keep sticking with this look but there really, is absolutely, nothing new and novel about it, at all, now. People keep sticking with it because it seems they don't have the brains and creativity to move away from it and create something better. Yes, I admit, I'm stuck in the past in a great many ways, as there were many, many, things from decades past that actually, were BETTER, as far as I'm concerned, and music, and clothing styles, and interior design being amoung them, for sure. So I feel like a "fish out of water" like you would not believe, and as "misplaced" as all hell. I'm happy to know that I am at least, not completely, alone. Warmest Wishes from Canada. Best of 2021. Be Well. Be Safe. Out.

[@Songmandave1]

you really have a great collection and should be very proud of all the great items you have . you have enough for 5 houses...haha

[@aliciayoung9546]

You have the best vintage & retro collection I've seen on KZbin. I grew up seeing many of the items. 😊 Such a cool and relaxed time period. The music fits perfectly.

[@estherzepeda5479]

I love your home it's also beautiful I also love this time and I have some beautiful pieces as well keep posting videos I love watching them thanks for the memories💕😊

[@sheiladyck5863]

SO COOL!!

[@larryspurlock3602]

Love this I am 18 and am in love with the 1950s my lifestyle is very much of this era

[@sodapopresaleshop]

Oh my goodness this was phenomenal to see. I'll be sharing this with some vintage fans. Absolutely amazing!

[@WilldoAldone]

best collection ive seen. like it all.

[@ivanj.conway9919]

Nothing like having some nice, soft, relaxing, music playing in the background. I love that. I have music going, all the time, like that, as well. I honestly, would go mad in a completely, silent room, unless I were meditating or something. You have some wonderful pieces of wood furniture here, but my favourite by far, has to be your lamp collection. My God, where do you find such totally, awesome lamps?! Better by far, than most of the modern stuff you get today. Most, not all now. I saw your other video where you've moved into a larger place. Great to see you have more room to display all your awesome stuff. And thank God for people like yourself, who keep such awesome, older, stuff from ending up in dumps. I think that's super wonderful. My Best. Best of 2019. Out.

[@gigi7778]

Wow I have been searching and searching for lamps, especially the chain or floor lamps I can't find them anywhere in my area Cincinnati Ohio, so many of your finds I have seen years ago growing up I just love it!!!! Thanks for sharing your home with us all.

[@buddyanddaisy123]

It actually looks nice! 1950s decor is under-appreciated-the lamps in particular.

[@fernandorodriguez313]

Ad Mirer Oh my lamps is our fascination...whether it's a Moss Lamp, Reglor, Majestic, Continental Art, or a Plasto. We are avid collectors! And the Lucite lamps...oh the Lucite lamps....

[@ivanj.conway9919]

Their lamp collection is amazing Darling, I agree. That's my favourite as well. My Best. Best of 2019. Out.

[@Bondobaby59]

What a beautiful home you’ve created. I lost my mind in January 2020 over Pyrex. I’ve been thrifting/antiquing ever since. I just found this video. Congratulations!

[@ophelia8759]

Fantastic! I love it. Takes me back to when I was a kid.

[@fernandoocelso2687]

Excellent! Our aim was to create a time capsule home from 1960. Your comment gives us that extra push to keep going! Thank You so much.

[@d.bcooper7819]

Unreal... the wall hung german plant stand almost stopped my heart. Phenomenal collection!

[@fernandoocelso2687]

Your awesome!!!! I've had many the collectors come over for cocktails and its the hanging German plant stand that does it. Everyone always wants to know where and how. They are definitely rare and hard to find.

[@TheMichelex20]

wow is all I can say. Your collection is amazing!!!!!

[@tasteecupcake1385]

Wonderful video! Love the decor and the music! May I ask the song and artist? :)

[@jeffyjohn5673]

Very cool items straight out of the 1950s. I had to put the brakes on purchasing because my home is not big enough. It reminds me of my parents apartment. I have seen pictures. They were married in 56...I love it. They had so many cool things in the 50s.

[@emilyrodriguez5871]

We are getting to that point....its seems that almost every year I learn something new about the period. Whether its the Dishware, Globes, Radios, Jewelry, Trashcans, etc. The collection continues to grow but the design for my money is timeless!

[@jeffyjohn5673]

I always loved the Genies and Alladins from that era.

[@ChrispyMulder]

Looks like some 1950’s houses I remember as a little child. Stuff everywhere and do much that it seemed hard to breathe. A little kid could look and look and look but never touch

[@cookingartguy2170]

Our house is all about MCM and with quite a few kitschy touches but yours is a whole different level! I would never leave it! ❤

[@anotherrealm4714]

This is so fun! Love the treasures and all of the decor!

[@wifemotherconservative3432]

Love it! I feel so much better seeing all your lamps! I thought I maybe had a problem. lol Our home was built in 1964 and was never updated yet it was still in amazing condition when we bought it. Other than paint and new flooring we didn't need to do much. Our decor/collection ranges from the 1930's to no later than the 1970's. People are always shocked when I tell them how cheap it is to decorate. Plus it's fun to treasure hunt!

[@twobrokeguyz1214]

I've watched this video a few times, and I just keep coming back! I'm in love with everything! Well done! What a fun place.

[@freddypaine9099]

You Have a Lot of Things from yesteryear. But its All Well Arranged & Tastefully Done. Very Nice items. 🌹Tfs ❤

[@RnR-Rebel]

Love seeing others with so many of the same pieces, tchotchkes I've collected over the decades as well! That massive "Marie Kondo" movement is so not for people like us... everything I have "sparks joy" wherever my eyes rest. Many friends have expressed the same viewpoint in spite of having different decor tastes. Don't like it? Well, ask yourself, did you come to visit me or my home? My home, my tastes. Don't like it, door is easily recognisable as any door is, show yourself out! Can't wait to see your new home video! 😘⚡️Jet

[@fernandorodriguez313]

Jet Kuhn Absolutely...not everyone has the mindset to collect some of this stuff! To be honest we started with Mis Century Smart...but it evolved into more of a Kitsch thing over the years...we went from liking our home to loving it!

[@ivanj.conway9919]

Rock ‘n’ Roll Glam Queen : Darling, modern designs are the complete shits anyway. At least, what's mainstream. Who the hell, wants to live in a boring, sterile, white/off white, hospital, environment anyway?! As that's exactly, what most modern, white, washed out, colourless, modern, home decor reminds me of. Even though I'm a guy, I'm SOOOO, in this camp as well. Only difference being, they may have a bet much for such a small place. I've seen their updated video of their new place, and it's so much better. I'm crazy over their lamp collection, and they have some utterly, awesome wood furnishings, as well. I have to meet more people in this camp as it would encourage me, as well and seems like an utterly, awesome community to be involved with. Darling, I think I'd absolutely, love your place and checking out all your utterly, awesome stuff. Do you have any vids to share?! Much Love Darling. My Best. Best of 2019. Out.

Thank You!!! We are still collecting a year later and filling up our new home!

[@MonotonousOwl]

It's so interesting to see the difference in what finds stuck around certain areas after the 1950's. What I mean to say is that here in the Buffalo/WNY we've got fairly different stuff but I am in lovee with this! Wow. I'm moving to LA in the next few weeks and I'm so ready

[@fernandoocelso2687]

You are absolutely correct in your observation. Each region has its own personality and local manufacturers. For example while in the Mid West almost every thrift shop and antique mall had a piece of Red Wing pottery. Out in southern California...rare to see a piece. But I could count on one hand the amount of times I saw California Pottery company's...Lamps for me are the biggest Wow...I always felt the East Coast had the most Atomic lamps...Majestics etc.

[@SisterShirley]

I'm a huge lamp guy myself table lamps and hanging swags are my favorite.great eye for knick knack's I like the way you have them displayed must be a dusting nightmare though. My favorite piece in you collection was that mid century dame I've been looking for one of those for years yours is in great shape they just don't make em like that anymore

I have the same lamp next to your flat screen tv love your collection!

[@joannebuglass]

Beautiful

[@Voirreydirector]

Lovely. Not everything is of the era,but it is all blended with a really great eye. Of course having so many salt and pepper shakers that one has to keep the cups on the counter is a lil silly. I noticed at least one Libby bowl and some glasses, here is a tip, look for Libby caddies, metal with rounded wood on the handles. And if they come with the wrong cups, or no salt shaker in the salad set, do not despair. Somebody at the next flea market will have it! It is not that there were a lot of Libby, just that they stood the test of time. You have to look on this weird spot in tiny print on the carriers, they are amazing. But if you get a carrier and have cups you love or a different salad bowl, make it your own. A trick in this lighting, if you crave real greenery in your life, try African violet! They love it!

[@maggieleroy3184]

Love your house! Many items I would love to have myself! I've got vintage wallpaper all over the place which makes it quite busy, so I promised to keep it down concerning the kitsch and little decorative items! We have mostly vintage (Fifties) furniture and lamps. Thanks for the tour!

[@fernandoocelso2687]

Wall Paper is one of those things that I wish I had. However it's a rare treat to find...when I was a kid growing up in a ranch house in California the kitchen had yellow atomic motif...my mom would renovate in the mid 90's like many homeowners did and the rest is a sad history.

Me too. But I loved looking at it. More like an antique shop than a place to live.

[@fernandorodriguez313]

Jeff Pagan We recently did a Pinup Photo shoot...it took me and my wife two days of ten hour cleaning to fully dust, shine, vacum, etc. So I completely agree!

[@jeffpagan7735]

Fernando Rodriguez I'll bet, I wish I had the time I would have my place exactly curated the same. I love midcentury trying to find good originals is hard. Oh I also own your Balinese dancing couple in white. Sorry I didn't say I absolutely love it.

[@revanelson8810]

Jeff Pagan. True I have a few ceramics pieces and I usually schedule every week to dust them. For instance, on Monday I dust the living room stuff.

[@louisaloi9178]

fabulous! only thing better would have been a vintage valve stereogram for the vinyl

[@vrbixby]

Some really rare knick knacks and decor that I've never seen: stunning furniture, bowls, dinnerware, shelves, and lamps. It didn't hit home before how African, Indian, Asian, and other ethnicities became fetishized and stereotyped figurines. The complacent white culture of the '50s

love love love this house and all the décor!!! I was born in 1951, and this is what I grew up with!!! My Mom had 2 pictures of an Oriental couple, and I remember this large pebbly angel fish lamp she had in the living room. Any idea why all the Oriental things in this time period? You have done a wonderful job of collecting these pieces.

[@emilyrodriguez5871]

Can you tell we love all things Oriental...my husband grew up next too an Pilot that flew in WW2 and a Navy Sailor that also fought in WW2. When he was younger those families were typically the babysitters and there house were time capsules from the late 50's. Those houses are the vision and inspiration!

[@beverly5886]

Beautiful! just a little too cluttered for me, lol.

[@realgirl2704]

People at that time didn’t have so many things. Most couldn’t afford it. People were thrilled to just buy their own home, some furniture and a car. But once you start collecting it’s hard to stop!😂

[@Celticbrit113]

Thanks for this! I was wondering if you (or others) could link me with other videos or webpages on this subject. Im covering Kitsch on my dissertation and i cant seem to find anything substantial on youtube when doing research. Its all pretty vague or brief. This has been a great visual aid im obsessed with this style. Im interested in its origins and impact ect. Thanks :)

[@Madmogs1]

At 11.24 where did you find that man dressed in white sitting in the pink shelf with black triangle backdrop? Its amazing.

[@fernandorodriguez313]

The Butchery Hey the guy is actually a pair with the female in the other box...they are made by Ceramic Arts Studio and we found this pair at a local estate in Chula Vista, CA. The boxes on the other hand we found in the middle of no where Kansas..Pittsburgh to be exact...on a cross country Mid Century pick trip! We got them for a steal as well...

The secret to stopping squeaky wooden floors is sprinkle , powder where crackling is a happening.

[@atarimental]

Nice, I have the same curtains at 12:20

[@maggieleroy3184]

steven johnson where did you get those? Are they reproductions or originals? I've been looking all over for curtains like that!

[@emilyrodriguez5871]

Awesome! I picked up the curtains in Kansas in a small town called Salina...they had roughly over 100 pieces of barkcloth between $10-$25 a panel. Insane collection and the vast majority of curtains in the house came from that shop. The Antique mall in no longer in business sadly!

[@emilyrodriguez5871]

On ebay the originals will pop up monthly but they typically fetch $100+ a pair or panel depending on the size. The size I have would probably sell for close to $200. Simply based on colorway ours is the Pink, Aqua, Black, and Gold. variation.
