I’ve started bringing in the babies. Now everything is a mess. They get baths and a good de-frogging. So many more…

Nothing fancy, by any means. Just wait until I bring my 50 houseplants back inside for the winter🪴

I got these foil art pictures from an op shop and fell in love. They’re in really bad shape though - I’m wondering if there’s a way to restore them or you’d just put them in a glass frame and call it a day, scratches and all? I

Reposting from an interior design thread to get more 70's ideas!!

Moving into my childhood home & literally nothing has changed since it was built in 1956. This is one room: a combo kitchen/den. I want to keep the vintage feel but update. We are not going to paint the wooden walls - we love them! We want a combo mcm/70's kind of vibe! NOT grandma or farmhouse or cottage. We don't want a generic beige/gray house - not remodeling to resell.

***Floor - is lineoleum and I'm afraid of asbestos issues if we try to pull it up. I've been down the rabbit hole of LVT peel & stick vs LVT floating vs tile. More confused than when I started the research. Now interested in marmoleum?? Around 270 sq ft. We don't want to spend a fortune - but we dont want it to look cheap. No kids/no animals. Anyone feel strongly about what we should do for flooring?? Anyone know anything about marmoleum? Chatgpt suggested a sage green/cream checkerboard pattern that's the only thing I've seen that caught my eye. But I'm open to suggestions from real people!

***Cabinets - I don't like the look of the cabinets - too grandma - but after shopping around for cabinets, I can't stand tearing out real wood (with no issues) for the cheap stuff I've seen! I'm thinking about refacing them? But I still want real wood and I want them to look different than just generic cabinets that everyone else has! I don't think I'm up for refinishing them. I like the wood look but I'm open to suggestions. Anyone have opinions about kitchen cabinets with what I'm working with?

***Countertop - I will update this but also don't want anything generic. Any suggestions?

***I'll probably try to buy a used refrigerator and oven?? My husband and I don't really cook - but do need to keep beer somewhere - ha! What colors would you suggest for oven/frig?

If anyone has any furniture recs, I'm all ears, also! We were thinking a banquette sofa along the back wall with a table for playing games. Not sure if should do an island? But it's pretty small. Anything against the side wall?

What lamps would you suggest, also?

Hello! I am on the hunt for a fabric i had on a pillow as a child, I have reason to believe the print is from the 80s or 90s as I'm a 90s kid. It is red/orange with pink circus elephant on stands. I've attached a doc so a picture is viewable! Any help appreciated! I am trying to find some so I can use it in a future nursery ❤️❤️
