1970s Suburban
I have today finally finished my 1970s suburban project. I started it weeks ago but just couldn't get it to my own satisfaction. The house is a replica of the home I spent my first 25 years in and, as it underwent many changes in those decades (dad was a DIYer of the most prolific sort and mum was always moving the furniture about), I was having difficulty sorting out in my head what it actually looked like in the seventies!
I've settled on what it looked like around 1978 with furnishings, wallpaper, etc, although I have added a few anachronistic touches:
- the pool wouldn't be finished for another year,
- the verandah had been walled in,
- I think the kitchen was green and brown in that year, but I preferred the original orange.
- dad had already started "building" rooms under the house, and
- we definitely did NOT have a widescreen TV or microwave.
Oh, and the fence was "mission brown" but that just looked ghastly so I've whitewashed it.
I will be uploading this lot to TSR today and hope that you enjoy my trip down memory lane.
