Wow....among many things, I don't get the wood/brass Hollywood light fixture over the towel bars and what appears to be a hamper. Not to mention the hanging pendants in addition to the light fixture on the medicine chest. It's a light fixture extravaganza in there. I like contemporary, but this is too much. I do like the staircase though.

Love the bathroom. Especially the ceiling. The rest is less appealing.

Funny, the wallpaper in the bedroom is what I'm looking for for MY pink bathroom, which is unfortunately NOT tiled all over.

I don't think that's a hamper, I think that is the toilet tank.

This is a TINY bathroom. If you count the tiles I think it has a 54" tub rather than a 60". There is probably about 12" between the vanity and the front of the toilet.

54" - 19" for shallow vanity - 25 for old round front toilet leaves 10", but the face of the vanity slants back a bit, which may give you a few inches. I have been in few bathrooms where you can't really walk through as much as climb over something.

The bedroom! Not sure I could do that in a room meant for rest, but I actually love the wallpaper AND the ceiling! What is on the ceiling???

And I kind of like tile stripes in the bathroom.

That bedroom - talk about a mirrored ceiling! I also wouldn't want to sleep in there, but it looks kind of cool.

It's foil wallpaper, probably sold as a companion to that on the walls and not normally used as a full sheet application --and never, normally on a ceiling. You can still get very similar paper from Phillip Jeffries for the plain and from Florence Broadhurst SIgnature Prints for the patterned.

Boy, would I have loved that room in my early 20's, late teens.

I especially like what they did covering those two small windows in the bedroom with a wall of draperies. Too short for today's fashion, but the wall looks great.

Yikes! Dark and dreary to me. I guess windows weren't in style back then?

:)

Sorry, but this house looks like it needs a gut rehab. I'm not seeing anything that I can appreciate or admire, not even the staircase.

These are row houses so any windows on the side walls would look into the neighbor's living room or bedroom, not outside. It's one of the unchangeables about living in the city.

That home has one desperate wish, whispered surreptitiously over and over "Platinum is the new black, I just know it!"
I can usually spot one redeeming feature in these "finds" of yours, Pal., but not this time.

Really? Because I kind of like it. Although I am struggling with the wallpaper on the kitchen ceiling in combination with the wallpaper on the walls. I mean, they're both black and white but they just don't work together.

I don't find it as much livable as interesting--and part of the interesting aspect is where it is--which of course anyone outside of Philadelphia would not. I would probably change everything but the stairs, myself.

I don't think I could actually sleep in the bedroom but I admire the totality of the vision.

LOL. May I steal that line?

Can we get some more of that shiny wallpaper, and paper the bedroom door?

Help, help, there's no way out...

wow!! definitely interesting!!

Like the tile in the bathroom.

Wow on the foil wallpaper. I can't imagine that room being relaxing, though maybe it wasn't designed for that, LOL.

I think the black vertical finishes make the downstairs kind of dark, true, but the bathroom and the bedroom were shot in natural light, no flash, no other lighting turned on, and they don't strike me as particularly dark--even with the sheers closed in the bedroom.

This is certainly something! Looks more Disco than Deco.

Love the bathroom and tiles although too many lights there. Patterned walls, ceiling and floor (is it stone tile or vinyl?) in the kitchen - again, a sensory overload to me.

The foil wallpaper and overall silver/metal theme in the bedroom is awesome on its own, but not something I'd choose for a relaxing bedroom.

I do like the grey-black scheme and the wallpaper in the living room. The room looks well put together.

But to each his own: my teen kid wants to have his bedroom painted in fire engine red and black. I counter-proposed to paint black the closet doors only, and settle for the red bedding and draperies that he already has. The decor debate still continues...

Totality indeed. You've gotta have guys to wallpaper the kitchen ceiling, if that's what that is. When I see pics like this I hope someone is documenting these survivals. After all, bungalow interiors were much despised by the 1950s. Not that I can imagine anyone ever reminiscing fondly about paperclip chairs, but . . . I always liked them in that way that acknowledges they're a dreadful mistake but longs for them anyway, though I knew I'd be over them in 6 months. Thanks for posting. The bedroom kind of reminds me of the interior of a salt cave in a spa.

Pal, where do you find so many throw back homes to the LSD period to photograph and post?

I'm torn between "Blinded by the Light" and "Shake Your Booty." They should rent it out for theme parties!

This seems like the appropriate response:

Far out, baby....

Swap the bedroom to a dining room and you'd have a perfectly retro hipster entertaining space. But most modern reinterpretations would keep the wallpaper to one wall to avoid inducing seizures.

The kitchen ceiling fixture is downright collectible. I've seen modern variants bearing hefty price tags
