This weekend I was in the mountains wrapping up various things related to our move and decided to have lunch at the Wayzgoose Cafe at Leura. I notice it is now known as the Wayzgoose Diner and has moved from country heritage to 1950s diner.
This had me thinking how furnishing styles change. My own style is eclectic which means anything goes. We have pieces collected from family members ranging from the 1900s to more modern times but we seemed to have missed out the 1950s and 60s. This is because our parents furnished their homes in the 1940s and we didn't set up house until the 1970s.
Do your furnishings and tastes lean towards a particular decade?
I set up house in the early noughties so my furniture is mostly from that period. Not old enough to be Retro as yet.
ReplyDeleteThough it is amazing how fast the noughties are becoming 'old'.
DeleteThis cafe / diner looks lovely. Married in 1980, our furniture was pine based. It is all a bit of a miss match now.
ReplyDeleteI had quite a bit of pine based stuff too from various apartments I have lived in. Most of it found a new home recently when I put it out on the footpath (I was amazed how fast stuff disappeared from the footpath). I have also discovered that a lick of paint can transform furniture from all eras and make it work together.
