    I love the little roof. :D

    This makes me miss Steak and Ale.

    Makes me nostalgic for the ’60s and ’70s.

    There is so much there it kind of works for me. If everything is wrong, nothing can be right, therefore nothing can be wrong.


    I guess it's a wet bar, like in a basement (with great windows) or something like that?

    Z-brick and wood paneling....that would be a tear out for me...

    It looks like a split entry raised ranch with a walk out basement, so sliders opposite this area.

    Why do you think raised ranch, and not split-level?

    Once upon a time, this was the cat's meow.

    Anyone know what the wooden panel on the wall is?


    And is it just me or does the tile floor look newer, almost as though someone very deliberately chose to preserve this little bit of fun?

    I think the wooden panel is just another layer of decoration. The floor is newer, I think. There are several multi decade layers of patterns in several rooms, like they just Added and never subtracted.

    The windows on each side of the front door are at the same height on both floors, and only the entry seems to be split from the the other floors, in the street view.

    Ah, i see. Here in northern Illinois, it’s called a raised ranch, California ranch, or split-entry raised ranch as you said. And that camper would look much better parked in the bump-out of the driveway.

    Makes me think "Quincy's Family Steakhouse." It's quite the mix.

    It's not the pattern on pattern that bothers me but rather the Brown on Brown (on brown) that is so depressing that bothers me.

    I LOVE IT. If that was in a basement, I would 100% keep it, and you better bet I'm putting a huge avocado green shag rug in there. I love a 60s/70s rumpus room.

    I usually really like pattern on pattern. Mixing the same color family misses the mark for me in this case.

    It's like having your own personal time machine bar in your basement!! Definitely to be appreciated by a certain generation, or lovers of that era . . .

    My aunt and uncle had a Tiki bar and game room in the basement. I always wondered if the people who bought the house from my late uncle kept it as a time capsule. It was a fairly tasteful version of that kitschy vibe. It was never meant to be a serious room . . . we had lots of fun in there back in the day . . .

    Do they still sell wagon wheel light fixtures and barrel keg chairs? One can't go halfway . . .
