Of course today we've gone to the other extreme where design magazines drool over homes with absolutely nothing out of place and no patterns in sight. There's something to be said for grandma's living room on acid.<br /><br />Glad you found the place.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-68393837818667684882014-02-18T18:10:08.699-11:002014-02-18T18:10:08.699-11:00Imagine that wall paper combined with a sofa in a ...Imagine that wall paper combined with a sofa in a similar wild pattern and you have my grandmother's living room from the 1950's. Mid-century modern on acid. lol<br /><br />I just discovered your site and I love it. I have always been fascinated by family photos, even of people I don't know. Without saying a word, they speak volumes about the human race.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-80263580425040588892014-02-04T18:36:25.526-11:002014-02-04T18:36:25.526-11:00I've always found wallpaper fascinating and ne...I've always found wallpaper fascinating and never knew of the historical side.

Many designs became copies of copies of copies. I was in the wallpaper business for about 20 years, but that was a long time ago. anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-14844411394095812152014-02-03T18:19:31.321-11:002014-02-03T18:19:31.321-11:00Yes!

Let's indeed hope it was green and not say...pinks with green. <br /><br />Ah, the sort of sofas where occasionally a hair would stick out from the fabric and stick you in the leg. Good times.

Do you think it was colored mostly green like camouflage or something more startling like gold on blue? <br />They don't make sofas like this anymore either. Lumpy and springy in a comfortable way these davenports were filled with horsehair that acquired every aroma and odor of the families that lived on them.
