Museum of 1975 In Scottsbluff, Nebraska

August 29th, 2010 · 7 Comments

Frozen in time.  Scottsbluff, Nebraska home built in 1975.  Wanna bet these are original owners?  Triple mirror.  Hanging oil lamp (aka rain lamp).  Tulips lights.  Classic.

Must Avoid Looking Out Windows

July 3rd, 2010 · 4 Comments

You are not allowed to look out the windows.  Cover them up and face the couches away from them.  Add stuffed animals for good measure.
