I bought an almond one with us to the Cottage so couldn't wait to get rid of those two eyesores! There is still alot to get done around here, but like you, I have the same hopes!!

Many are so faded out that you can't make them out and the pages stuck to some so that it peels the picture away when I tried to take them out of the album. Live and learn, I guess. I would love to see yours someday..Happy Monday..xxoJudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058694316491400824.post-56106570732176324702020-02-03T14:13:30.404-08:002020-02-03T14:13:30.404-08:00Thanks, Janice.

It's raining now but I want a little more winter. Love the photo of your green range and brown refrigerator. All the rage at one time. I remember the gold color and I think that was the worst.

Even though I would prefer wood, this floor has been a godsend to us. We have had numerous dogs in there and have pushed, pulled and scraped many amounts of furniture over it and it is still as good as new so I can't make a logical Judy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058694316491400824.post-91392406712684570122020-01-30T10:57:19.766-08:002020-01-30T10:57:19.766-08:00Thank you so much.

When I see photos of the townhouse we sold in 1984 I think it's cute but so brown rust and gold....yet it sold in less than a week because it was 'IN', at that time...! Then we moved here and had to deal with 1974 Mediterranean decor from the early 1970s.

When we moved in, we painted almost all the rooms, but need to still do our hallway and one bath. Maybe one of these days. I'm one of those people who like to leave things as they are....
