    Loved this home. Many things reminded me of what my home looked like when I first purchased it. All the rooms were good sized. Loved the avocado green walls. My home had orange counter tops and brown and gold linoleum. (Which has long since been all replaced. Thank you Ethan. Really enjoyed this home tour. 😍

    This one is a true 70's house. Sunken living rooms were the all rage back in the day. I like the colors but, to each his own. That cracking sound scared the crap out of me though. Another great explore. Thanks!!!!!

    Hi Ethan!!! I love all of your videos. ❤️ I love interior design and architecture from different time periods so I really do love your videos. It’s sad that so many of these homes are just left abandoned, unloved and allowed to fall apart. Even though a lot of the homes that you show us are going to be torn down I really do appreciate you going into them and giving us a tour. It’s like going back in time and looking at a time capsule. We all appreciate your channel and what you do. ❤️🥰

    Love this house. Was definitely high end back in it's day!!! Paneling and that kind of ugly green paint was so popular back then. The light fixtures are awesome and that etched mirror in a bathroom is great!! All those levels were definitely an elite type feature. I love the staircase banister but the mirrors were crazy!!!! All in all a great find from those glorious Brady bunch days!!!😍

    Hey what's up Ethan?
    OMG....this is my girlfriends parent's house that was built late 60s- early 70's!!
    From the brick wall in kitchen, the staircase, shag carpeting, not to mention the flocked avocado wallpaper, and of course the twin ball lights in bathroom!!!! Yikes!!!!
    I do like the foyer and staircase though.
    Great vlog Ethan you rock!! 💖😘👌👍✌✌

    Shades of the Brady Bunch. Gawd, I could so imagine that sunken living room with "burnt orange" long shag carpeting with matching burnt orange gauze drapes...a long console stereo playing David Gates singing "I wanna make it with you" with a lava lamp setting the mood sitting somewhere...sitting on a plaid, "early American" style couch in creams, orange and brown and a low, heavy coffee table, sipping Chablis or even Boones Farm strawberry wine...mother of God, I miss those days...🥺

    Wow, the kitchen and upstairs bathroom reminded me so much of my parents home built in 1968. In the kitchen the built-in oven and cubby below for the microwave are just like my mom's kitchen. Then the upstairs bathroom had the swag pendant lights just like the one in their guest bathroom and then the tiny shower in the master bathroom just like in my parents home. They also had brown paneling throughout which they painted it white in the bedrooms and wallpaper everywhere else. This house definitely has been through some rough times for sure. Ty for sharing and the memories.

    This house has had a rough life. I'm with you on the bathrooms with the sunken tub/shower. I don't fancy taking a bath with my face level with the toilet, not to mention having to climb in to clean it.
    That kitchen is beyond adjectives and I'd hate to have to carry food up and down those steps to the breakfast area. Very inefficient.
    I like the stairway with the mirrored wall because it doesn't take up a lot of space and isn't front and center the minute you walk in the door. The upstairs seems dark, small and chopped up because of that narrow hall and no natural light for the stairs.
    Green and blue were a popular combination back then even though before that time it was considered bad taste, since they were thought to clash. The bird etched on the mirror in the upper bath is a peacock.
    This house could be made, if not beautiful, at least interesting if you have several treasure chests of coin in order to undo the botched up renovations from the former tenants.
    You'll make 100,000 subs before the summer is over.
    As always, an interesting video.

We had a sunken family room that we added on to the house about a year after we moved in. It had the shag carpets and very ugly velvet wallpaper when we 1st moved in

    Oooh I love these retro finds! I had déjà vu in that kitchen, almost identical layout to the 1979 home I spent my teens in. We had a Roman bath too but not sunken - that’s just weird eh. Yet upstairs and the laundry had a distinctly 60s finish - the cupboard handles, some of the sinks, the etched mirrors. I wonder if it received a part makeover in the late 70s? Keep ‘Em coming!

    You’re right about the lighting, that was a trend back in the 70’s - 80’s to not have any lights on the ceiling. But, electrical code says you have to switch something on so they would do “half switched plug”. Basically the top plug would be switched - so you could plug in a lamp, and the bottom one stayed on all the time.

    Ah yes, avocado green walls, most likely had the multi colored beige/brown shag carpet. The other flooring was kinda new, vinyl flooring, it replaced linoleum, which was a new thing from about 1910 through the 1960s. Those birds on the mirror look more like peacocks, as I recall, quail don't have a long tail. Last thing, all the rust in the laundry room sink, shows their well water was high in iron, which causes the rust. Another great video, thanks!

  • @MrGaryRoberton
    @MrGaryRoberton 2 года назад

    Wild color palate, swag lamps in the bathroom, bet the old shag rugs got to be a health hazard, and were replaced with a low cost lino. The plan was good, but it was never upgraded after construction. Product of its times. Cheers Ethan.

    What is up Ethan! Very 70's indeed! I have always loved the sunken rooms since I was a little girl. With all those ups and downs I'd have broke a lot of bones within one year of living there. I did not like the first bathroom downstairs with the sunken tub. I've seen some that are quite charming. The stove and oven in the stone was really nice. Upstairs where you could see bits and pieces of the original interior, was truly 70's. Real shag carpeting, the red was my favorite. My parents purchased an all original 1971 Double Wide in the late 80's to be close to my grandmother who was sick and there are a lot of similarities in design and soft interiors. Especially wood paneling and the use of the color green. I can hardly stand either one now. I have a more 90's vibe probably because that was when I was pre-teen. It was a great find, it's been lived in and I'm sure loved. Enjoyed it as always! Take care, stay safe & God bless! xoxo 💞 Kat

    A great house, the original linoleum you found in one of the closets was in a house I lived in when under the age of 9, but it used to freak me out because it had evil faces in the pattern. The brown fake wood panelling was really big in boys bedrooms rooms at the time.

    I agree with you about the tub! It is strange and creepy for a tub to be below a toilet on the floor lol. That "shelf" off the kitchen was definitely an afterthought especially since the top stack of bricks were moved away from a light switch. I did really like the light fixture hanging in the space off the kitchen. Nice explore!

      You haven't seen a '70s house until you saw a 2-in or more shag thick carpet that was deep purple and the walls were lime green and the border around the top was white with green going one Vines going one way and purple lines going the other way to make like like little squares it was cool but it was '70s it screamed it cuz that was 19 70 and the 70s also had those fireplaces that sat in the middle of the room by itself you know and then I had like a tin man's hat top on it that had a pipe running out a hole in the wall on the top it was field off an open type fireplace where everyone can sit around it was open around and then I had a tin man hat on the top with these little metal braces holding the top up and in the bottom would be brick and you knew that was '70s check out those fireplaces and see if you don't think they're 70s thank you peace out

    Cool retro house. Would be fun to refurbish with all new good hardwood floors throughout. Update the bathrooms and kitchen. Seems like a few misguided diy’s there. Also would need to ditch so many mirrors like the ones at staircase. Also need more tasteful paint colors. That pea soup bile colored green made me queasy. Wall paper in entryway kind of nice but the rest of the wallpapers were fun to look at but would have to go. I’m always in favor of fixing up rather than tearing down if possible and I like to imagine what it looked like in its prime and how I would fix it up. Is this still standing or did it get destroyed. What is being built there? Thank you Ethan for this fun tour that I missed when it was new. Be well and safe.

    My house is from the 70s our living room does not have any light fixtures in the ceiling. Back then lamps and swag lamps were a big thing.
