Paradise..In the 60s

Here are just a few of the highlights of the cabin we bought and also why we aren't ready to invite friends up just yet.

 

The cabinets take some getting used to. The shake roof above the cabinets is cabiny, sort of. The moose and the trees might be cabiny but they have to go.

 

The toilet was stamped 1940.  That makes it 70 years old,  The cabin was built in the 60s so that means the toilet was already 20+ years old when it was  taken out of one old place and put into this one. They really don't make them like they used to. So we took it out, cleaned it up and put it right back in the bathroom.

The cabinets in the bathroom were child sized. They would have been awesome in a playhouse. When they came out they fell apart not because they were poorly made but because they were really well attached to the wall behind. 

 

Here's the swanky homemade lamp giving the only light in the main room. Not sure they ever made them like that before. Maybe it was high school shop project.  

Gold drapes, blue rockers and red carpeting.

Do you like how the wood stove is right in the middle of the room? There are plastic bags melted to the stove pipe from all the oopses and getting to close to it. I wonder how many people have been burned by this thing.

Blues and green bricks on the fireplace...nice.

The best is the the red, maroon and orange extra long and fuzzy shag carpeting. This picture just doesn't do it justice here. It was in great condition. There was even a brand new roll of it up in the attic but I couldn't get anyone to let me keep it. We probably could have made some extra cash off it for original 60s carpeting.
