She collects plates.

This one’s a shoe collector.

She collects shoes, dolls, and everything else.

She collects crosses and fans.  Was listed December 1, 2011 as a short sale.  Went under contract February 3, 2012, and then waited and waited for the bank to respond.  It finally sold December 31, 2012.

Nostalgic for a time gone by, we present two homes from Orangeburg, South Carolina that are frozen in time.  Enjoy.

This Orangeburg home was built in 1954.  The living room features wallpaper, green carpet, and green drapes.

The wallpaper design carries over in the dining room.

The family room or den is quite cozy.

Matching bedspread and drapes in the master bedroom.

Our second featured Orangeburg home was built in 1973.  Green and blue were popular colors back in the day.

Everything looks brand new!  Kudos to both home owners who’ve loved their homes for decades.

This Wickenburg, Arizona home is frozen in time.  Some 1950s elements, mostly 1970s furniture.  Enjoy.

A time when visiting Grandma was fun.

Guests were always welcome.

People had parties and actually talked to each other and did not text.

Meals were prepared from scratch.

Things were built to last.

Groovy.

This home still has a working, vintage refrigerator.  Check it out!

The furniture must be loaded with iron and the walls filled with high powered magnets.  How else to you explain the furniture crammed against the walls?

The family room walls are especially magnetic.

Even the kitchen walls are strong.  Makes it easier to mop the floors.

Time for a major update of home décor in this Lowell, Massachusetts house.  Gold foil wallpaper.  Ugly carpet.

Seriously.  Who would pick out carpet that looks like worms??!!  Maybe the owner is a fisherman?

Flamingos and palm trees are very common in Massachusetts.
