I started out, all about the 50s. It wasn’t long before I totally adored the 60s. And now, I will do my best to suck you into the Best of the 70s vortex, right along with me. Despite the fact that I came of age — with all the associated horrors — during the 70s, I have to say that much of the design now appeals to me. Immensely. Today: A Palm Springs time capsule spotted by reader Frank. This first bedroom: Awesome.
This Palm Springs time capsule has the most wonderful decor. I especially love the three bedrooms shown on the listing. This master bedroom has PERFECT feng shui.
The guest room bedroom: Totally typical tropical decor. My husband’s nana in Florida had a Pier I-style bedroom set just like this. I LOVE the quilted bedspreads, both the style and the fabric. Quilting — with piping around the edges, look close — is de rigueur all the way into the late 80s, I’d say. (This style of bedspread is not easy to find today, though… I need to hunt.) And look: The drapes are in the same fabric. Oh and I love the wallpaper, too. This is a fabulous bedroom. I know that I do not feature bedrooms enough on the blog – and will keep working at it.
A big thanks to Frank for spotting the time capsule and the real estate agent’s website.
And, thanks to real estate agent Miles Kuhn for giving me permission to feature these photos. See the entire listing here (oh well: gone now) — it’s worth it, I promise.

I like any type of time capsule anything whether its a house or old car. Its only original once. Whether it appeals to you or not that’s the way that room was in what? 1975 when I was 6! Lol in the old car world we call these Benchmarks that all other restorations are judged by! Koolsville!

Certainly well designed rooms, thanks for sharing Pam and Frank – I’m working on my bedroom furnishings now – quite a challenge as it turns out. My biggest design inspiration comes from the years 1965 through 1975 – seems to be a fun, if all too often, over-the-top period for interior design – give me avocado, orange, and chocolate brown please

I am now officially a 70’s person too. This house and the surrounding land are amazing. The only problem I can see is that I would not want to have to furnish it as I would never be able to match the perfectness of what these owners have done.

Want! The rug in the living room is super fabulous.

That is a fabulous home but I’m so sad thinking that the new owner will most likely update it.
The time capsules are my absolute favorite feature on your website..
