Taking it outdoors … retro
Posted on Thu, 6 May 2010 by midcenturyjo
Retro time! This week we’re taking it outside and way back to the 60s. From potting sheds to pavilions, trees in tables to houses in trees. I used to dream of having a fabulous hideaway just like the A-frame when I was a tike. Still do. Images this week are scanned from The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement, Vol 13 OUT to PAR, Greystone Press, New York, 1971.

OMG, I believe I have the "pattern" and instructions for making the little A-frame in an old book published by Sunset/Lane magazine! ;o) Fun pictures. ~Sparky

Great post and perfect timing. We are closing on a 66 contemporary modern home next month- a lot of these pics are great for my mind right now. Stay tuned cause as soon as I close, I will be doing lots of blogging on the renovation

Love! Our house is an A-frame and was built in ’71. A lot of the elements from these photos are present in our house. We even have a shingled roof inside over our kitchen like photo #7. Weird huh?
