An early St. Charles kitchen… Hollywood Regency bedroom set… and more from the 60s estate sale

by pam kueber on March 3, 2009

vintage-dor-file.jpg The recent Hollywood Regency style estate sale was such a treasure trove of strange and wonderful mid century details that here are some more photos to scrutize. For example, this may be the only blog in the world to feature Drano in its lead post – but look at the vintage “Dor-File” mounted to the inside of the yellow St. Charles sink cabinet. I love it, I want it! vintage-dor-file-view.jpg Click through here for a total of 24 more photos from this fabulous time capsule!

Now that is the way to start the day!! Thanks for sharing! Really wish I could have been there! So many temptations! I am in love with the kitchen!

Wow! Can you imagine the excitement of using that kitchen for the first time?! I’m a 50s tile kinda gal, but I’m in love with that pink formica bathroom. Uhhhh, I hope this house bought the owners lots and lots of joy! It’s just amazing!

OOooo I love the vintage ironwork!

Jita March 4, 2009 at 12:39 am

HOT kitchen!
How much was the house selling for do you know?

MidCent Keith March 4, 2009 at 12:39 am

Love the napkin holders and the froggy sponge holder – definately would have gotten those! I’m looking forward to some good house sales this year – not allways the cheapest, but it is fun to explore older houses and see how the familes lived and decorated. It’s great that you took pictures to share Pam.

Poor kitchen! That baby needs some love! I would love to get in there and make that place shine….

Pam Kueber March 4, 2009 at 12:46 am

Um, Mer, no. Have to stop. Husband about to kill me. Bought some vintage clothes and a few trinkets, that’s all…

Stupid question but what’s a Thermaster? I tried doing a Google search but came up empty.

Pam Kueber March 4, 2009 at 6:46 pm

Shane, I opened the box – seems like the Thermaster was an insulated box and within it, was another insulated container. I’m guessing the whole get-up was used to pack large lunches for the men going to work at the factory. On top of the Thermaster was an electric potato peeler. I didn’t look at it too closely…my head already was spinning…but it seemed that it was a bowl with plastic scalpels, you added the potatoes, rotated it, and I guess they got peeled. Hmmm.

NorthsideCJ March 5, 2009 at 11:55 am

I’m obsessed with all of the lamps in the house! Especially the matching pairs in the bedroom!!

Pam Kueber March 5, 2009 at 11:04 pm

Yes, aren’t they spectacular?! I am not sure if they sold…

Femme1 March 6, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Love it all, but especially the bedroom furniture. Oh, and I have one of those bright orange plastic flower thingies (mine is a napkin holder) that are above the sink.

Robert March 7, 2009 at 5:42 am

Hello,

I like those grid room divider thingies. But can you imagine “oh the dusting!!”?

Good gracious! Now I know what heaven looks like.

Jeff October 22, 2009 at 9:50 pm

Pam, thanks for the fab pics! I’ll take the whole house! Did the pink lamps in the bedroom sell? I would buy those straight away!
