We would invite our friends over and remind them to bring their own seating. LOL.

Saving for those special things, arranging them, wedding gifts that helped us get on our way practically...also helped decorated.

Somehow I felt right at home by this virtual tour ... as my pictures bring out similar colors and decorative design. Who would have thought that macrame plant hangers would go out of style... I think I felt kind of guilty when I gave mine away. <br />I know that at the time I would have surely envied your beautiful bed with the ruffled bedskirt and pretty afghan. Wasn't it fun to make the most of what we could afford or make and be content?Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-75795488380829057972012-04-30T18:25:02.949-07:002012-04-30T18:25:02.949-07:00This took me right back!!!

We lived in a tiny four-plex and thought that it was fantastic. The thrill of having our first home was so great that the small space and tiny kitchen didn't matter a bit. It was cozy and wonderful and life was sweet. <br />Thanks for sharing your photos and memories and for bringing back some happy memories for me. <br />How marvelous that you're helping to shape the journeys of young couples starting out now. I'm sure you have some wonderful wisdom to pass along and to encourage those who are beginning the journey!Leslienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-84846941096239541252012-04-30T10:22:28.994-07:002012-04-30T10:22:28.994-07:00I love those pictures!!!!

We purchased one with a income tax refund one year about 1982 perhaps... It featured a cabin in the woods in those autumn hues.

Perhaps when we are very very old we will again live in a one bedroom place and I hope if that happens we will still make our place as happy and homey as possible.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.com
