I like a lot of the retro look. I see many couples/families going for that on the Property Brothers show. I remember having a couple of gal-friends way back in Junior High I think it was, that had rooms that looked like below. I was so in awe as we lived in some old rental, LOL:
PS oh, and of course a phone like this one,
That's one style I remember, but another was when they started having the dial in the handle. It was still lighted. I loved those phone and we never had one, just black old-style. I oooooooeeddddddd and awed over my friends that had them though
