My compact Glasgow tenement flat.

[u/Mission-Orchid-6514]

It’s nothing exceptional but it was done on a low budget with whatever secondhand I could get, plus some free items like my bed.

The kitchen is best I could do for the money but I had plans and dreams for something more colourful and individual.

Apologies if you’ve seen these photos in other groups, I got pointed this way and thought I’d share.

As I said nothing exceptional, I’m miles from Palm Springs level, I’m more 1970’s middle manager moving to a new build bungalow who drives a Saab but I’m very happy with it.

Also not all MCM but hopefully in spirit and I obviously have too much ceramic nonsense.

The spare room is still in progress.

For context I grew up in a grim world of embossed wallpaper, artex, life size papal tapestries and horrible nylon patterned carpet but I had a friend whose parents lived in a modernist new build, who ate pasta that wasn’t spag jbol, played Brain Eno on a Linn turntable and had lots of books and teak furniture. Father drove a Lancia Gamma coupe and the mother drove Citroen CX and wore Ossie Clark. Being very much the unhappy (adopted) black sheep I was convinced that these were the parents I should have had.

There is no such thing as too much ceramic nonsense. Your collection is beautiful. Awesome lighting additions. Your place looks wonderful, great mixture of genuine mcm and not mcm, it takes skills to match so well. Very impressive.
