All they need is plastic on the upholstery!

We had this paper on one wall of the dining area. I still like it.

Good for them! They are doing what makes them happy! I think it's charming!
My personal kitchen is very 1930's, with vintage decor.
I love the individualism of the diversity of style!

I actually like it ... I wish people could live their lives without being mocked generally..we'd all be happier wouldn't we ?

We had ivy wallpaper in the kitchen and my mom had a partial set of these Metlox Poppytrail California Ivy dishes.

We didn't have plastic but we did have a light gray sofa and chair with that nubby textured nylon upholstery that wore like iron.

People feel comfortable when in the herd. One fellow said to me, in the supermarket carpark: "When did that style come back in fashion?" He then added, before I could say anything, "you look fantastic, good for you." His last quip made me smile when he said: "I wish I had the balls to wear that." It's that safety feeling of not being different.

Harry Winston, the New York Jeweller once said: "People will stare, make it worth their while."
Winston was talking about Vitiligo, a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin. It's caused by the lack of melanin, which is the pigment in skin. Vitiligo can affect any area of skin, but it commonly happens on the face, neck and hands.

But his quote about staring is relevant to any type of appearance outside of the norm.
So no matter how many times I hear: "Hey Indy," I'm still going to wear my fedora hats, my two tone shoes, my baggy trousers and my wide lapels.

That ivy wallpaper reminded me of some we had at the "old" house. This is my 7th birthday in 1959.

We had slip covers on the 2 sectionals but plain chairs.
2 of these

and a charcoal gray lounge chair for my father.

This was pretty similar to what we had when I was growing up in the 60's..Uncut Moquette chairs and sofa.

One of the things I remember about 1958 that I always wondered was why people covered their furniture with plastic.

I second your words, Gaer.
