We have a 1955 raised ranch, which we are in the slow process of renovating. For years we tried to fit today’s size furniture in it. When we finally gave in to what the house was screaming for, we found we so enjoy hunting for the pieces our house needs. Now that we have gone totally retro throughout the whole house, we LOVE it. Our Master Bedroom would be a cool place for this lava lamp!

Naturally, it would go atop my 1965 Magnavox console stereo!

We finished our basement “rec room” and did it completely mid-mod. I will be posting pictures soon. The Lava Lamp would go perfectly there!

This belongs in the groovy party pad basement of my ’57 home.
Michelle says
I think this look great in the 1959 addition with heart pine paneled walls that my grandparents installed. I’ll be hosting Thanksgiving in that room and it could add just the right touch!
Kim McCann Henry says
One these would be perfect in our 1960 home!
Patty says
My son would like this.
Jackie says
I always wanted a lava lamp as a kid. It’d be really fun and groovy to put it in my office for a bit of fun.

I just became the proud owner of a door from a 1930-40’s Hotel that use to be in our small village. My first choice was to use the door as a “art object” to lean against a wall. Door #9 is to special for that life. It deserves so much more. It will be the new door to bedroom that my late husband and I shared for many years. My plans are to refurbish the room to look like a one-room apartment that the former Hotel rented by day, week, or month it its hay-day. One of my best friends (85-yrs old) rented a room in that Hotel in the late forties after graduation, Let the fun begin! Pictures to follow.

It’d look fantastic in our finished basement–it’s got green carpeting, wood panelling, and low ceilings. Just perfect!!!
