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.

Shouldn’t someone be sitting in that wheelchair. Where did they go? What is that thing sticking out of the wall on the right in the 3rd frame?

They are very nicely kept. Those houses are probably in good shape.
MIA, maybe the elderly owner of the first house has recently passed away. Clearly no professional staging has been done, but the home seems to be immaculate and quite tastefully decorated as is.

I don’t think that’s a wheelchair. Pretty sure that is a toilet.
I can’t imagine holding on to furniture, curtains and carpeting that long.

I’m impressed with the care and cleanliness of everything.

This reminds me of my first house, my Great Aunt had lived and died in it. It had the same giant spoon and fork in the kitchen and those blue floral curtains in one of the bedrooms. Ah good memories.

The first one has typical 50’s decor. Stores like Penneys would sell the matching bedspreads and drapes, very popular. They were often heavy satin that needed to be dry cleaned. Carpet back then was wool and would last forever if cared for. And it would give you a nasty rug burn if you wrestled around on it!

I’d like to see the kitchens and bathrooms in these homes. I hope you have those pics for a later post.

Whoever lived there loved their home and their decor.
