I live in a mid-century bungalow, and I love all things from that era!

I’m a Scandinavian and in Northern Europe it’s been common for over a century to do rooms in all white so it’s beyond a trend for us. I’ve lived in the US for almost a decade but I still gravitate towards the all-white. It looks clean, makes any color pop and never goes out of fashion in my mind. I will never get the

I kinda like both the kitchens (hangs head in shame), but the green in the second is alittle much, white would be better. I have a thing for vintage kitchens. Confession time, I have Youngstown metal cabinets circa 1950 that I refinished.

On the set of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries?

I hate shabby chic. You want me to spend how much on something that looks like it was found in a dumpster?!

Surprisingly, still not as bad as ‘90s country decor. I have a wicker phobia.

Joely Richardson was the first Miss America?

What about the kids’ freedom of belief though? That always gets lost. Religious freedom ought to also include freedom from a religion, which to me, means that all children should have access to a fact-based education.

if you look at the photos right to left they resemble someone wasting away from a terminal illness.

Pattern sizes aren’t based on RTW clothing sizes— they date back to their heydey in the 1950s. All cups are B Cups, for instance. The big pattern companies, like McCalls, are seeing competition from smaller boutique operations that can run on the web. This means they’re making more patterns that fit a variety of

I wish I had the option to take home ec. My local community college used to have sewing classes, but those got the axe years ago. I really really want to learn how to sew but the classes at Joanne’s look pricey.

You’ll pay much much more to house him on death row and see his appeals through the bitter end than if he was locked up and forgotten in the SuperMax facility in Colorado.

NO ONE PUTS TATER BABY IN THE CORNER

Hers was the kind of career I’d have liked to have, if I had any such talent. Steady, well-received work, without the headache of being THE star.

OMG THAT’S why they all look so familiar! They all look like Derrick Barry!!

I do like stories about people from that period who weren’t necessarily stars but who did nice steady work.

Haha!

The “get me the fuck out of here” look on the babies faces is priceless.

A senator’s daughter would certainly have had access to abortion. Women in her “condition” just “went to France” for a month and came home. Or they “went France” for 6 months and came back lactating.

It was a different time then. Before at-home pregnancy tests, women didn’t know they were pregnant until the baby fell out of them.
