There's a little bit more that we didn't know about Nana Goldfinger. She had a pouf. That's right. A pouf! I found these photos along with her "indoor shade" photos. I thought poufs were a recent thing. A, no. Guess they have been around for years. Duh. Wonder what color that one really is?
Hmmm...what do you think about Nana's living room? I do remember that couch being about 40 feet long! The print above it is a wee bit small in scale for that sofa. Just my opinion.
I remember thinking the round table was kind of cool...
I love the barkcloth drapes...very tropical and hip. 'No' on the plastic flowers on the sideboard...{Now don't you think Nana would be happy that her photos didn't end up in an old box, but shared with you all?}
Hmm...
Not really digging the bedroom. I do adore the pillows though. No offense to my Nana who was obviously proud enough to take pictures of the rooms. I'm just thinking about how ahead we are today with pulling things together in a different way. Just sayin.'I do want a pouf now more than ever. Going to have to kick myself for not taking my Dads offer on some of this furniture. I was young. I want Nana's pouf!

Thanks Lynn. Love the pics. I have the Stiffel lamp that's shown in picture three. How cool.
Oh my, look at those photographs, they are just so awesome! And she had a pouf, maybe you'll find one somewhere!

I love how your Nana's furniture gave a little deco nod with the vases and I think she was very brave to use the turquoise and red and I love that color combination. The picture over the couch may have been smallish, but it looked like a French scene. I think that your Nana had her own thing going. Very cool. Love all of your postings. Tina
I wish I had pictures from my "Nana's" home...I remember it having the same clean 50's/60's lines as your Nana's, so similar really. I love how she used color and I love that she had a pouf, stylish lady!

Wow, my grandma had that same ornate gold mirror, in her entryway! I agree, the art about the couch is small for the space -- but it looks like a cool piece.
Thanks Phil, Nancy, Christina, 24 Corners, Judy and Kelly for your comments!
It's so funny that my Dad had these random photos in a box. Who would have thought that I'd be blogging about them some day?
Thanks again for stopping by!

Wow, you could almost live on that couch. love it.
nice pics, all things are old and beautiful
What great photos and I remember all these furniture styles. You really must get a pouf lynn, it will make you smile every time you see it. Cool Nana. XO
Kelly spoke of the ornate mirror...it looks like your Nana had not one, but two of the "Syrocco" mirror and pair of sconces sets! Many years ago I sold these and other decorative accessories for Home Interiors out of Dallas! I am OLD!
Yes, the print is rather on a smaller scale compared to sofa - but look how she tried to accessorize: those cushions are picking up the accent colors in the print. Even the bedroom might have come together - if she changed the wall paint into something other than white.
And I too love the drapes, especially the lambrequin - a neat update on the 18th cent device, with that bark cloth.
And those glass figurines - I wonder if they are Czechoslovakian. Did your Nana had two or did she moved one from one picture to another to style the shot?
Sheri and Creaky...I have a feeling that the sconces/mirror and the glass were photographed at different times. I remember my other grandma telling me that Nana liked to redecorate, so they were probably moved around. I doubt she would have doubles, don't you? Thanks for stopping by! Lynn
I used to be a travel director at a senior living facility - their apartments look just like this! My antique business partner and I would go to estate sales there and there wouldn't be 1 item we would want! Thanks for a good laugh, Jennifer jennsthreegraces
