Does any of Frank's shit count as comfy? Hmmm ...

>>464156 They count as cold and soulless and industrial and not at all comfy

>>464158 Yeah, many of Frank's designs seem executed more for the statement of his A*R*T than the comfort or even the ergonomics of the client. Most were vacated within a few years of their completion.

Here is a comfy kitchen What’s that? You don’t know how to cook besides heating up ramen? Too bad for you

Jan: “But we came from the 1970’s. Those pics are timeless pieces of art even if they are the dullest, most bland, tasteless colors of career housewives. We can’t just let that era die! I don’t care that it was 50 years ago and we are now on Medicare and have had both hips replaced. And we hobble about grotesquely with our walkers, unable to hug our brainwashed mentally I’ll trans grandchildren. And we pray for the sweet relief of death on a daily basis. That 70’s look is timeless,” “Sure, Jan”

>>464188 > mentally I’ll

Comfy kitchens? I have some of those.

And here's some comfy dining while we're at it.

>>464192 *focuses in on an autocorrect Total Jan move

>>464233 But who capitalizes 'ill', in that context?

>>464222 Orlag the caveman roasting a wild boar over a fire in his cave has more comfy charm than your hideous 70's kitchen pics

>>464233 >admits to phoneposting Total retard move.

>>464263 Go back to 4chins Oh, wait, you were perma banned for pedo shit Enjoy posting here where there are like 5 people I hear reddit is pretty good; I think you'd fit in better over there

>>464222 I love 1970s style, love wood-grain anything. But this shit drives me up the fucking wall, handles in the middle of cabinet doors. Who ever thought this was a good idea? It's not a natural way of opening anything. Handles go in corners! I grew up in a house built in 1983/4, the bathroom vanity had two doors, middle handles, guess where all the dirt and wear and tear on the door was? On the outer top edges of the door where people would always grab it to open them.

>>464310 My favorite retro fitting to hate are those little brass-cup catches on midcentury sliding cabinet doors. They were easy to miss if you weren't looking right at them, and if they had really smooth rollers then the one door would slide fully behind the other and you had to wrestle it free to slide it back closed again. FUN! And now since it's the weekend, let's rustle some jimmies.

>>464288 What leads you to believe someone shitting on phoneposting, a regular long time tradition, is from cuckchan?

>>464324 Nice Which one is your 95 year old grandma's house?

>>464326 If Gramma were still alive she would be 115. They lived in a little GI Bill place after WW2, furnished with that spindle-legged country-looking stuff so popular in the 1950s.

>>464323 While I do like many of these pictures showing vintage decor, some of them I question heavily. Like the first one here, where it appears every surface in the kitchen has been wallpapered. This is just terrible for two reasons - one, cleaning and upkeep, that wallpaper is going to stain and get worn down fast and will be impossible to clean from dirt and oils and grease, and two, the design is too busy it feels schizophrenic. For all of these photos, were these honest to god real kitchens and dining rooms in people's homes? Or just mock ups on sets? That second one...too much red and harsh patterns, black red white, nah not for me. >My favorite retro fitting to hate are those little brass-cup catches on midcentury sliding cabinet doors. Do you have an example? Why do you like collecting and sharing pics of this stuff? >>464369 Third pic, kek that chair reminds me of intestines. One thing I like about this era is things were still made USA/Germany/Canada/Britain/etc. Made to last and when you bought stuff locally you supported business in your state/country. These days everything is made cheaply in China or Taiwan, overpriced, and falls apart in a few years. It's not worth the cost new, and when people buy it, it's just making CEOs richer while they people who actually made this stuff are paid pennies. Brand names don't matter and haven't for a long time. Always crazy how easily people throw out perfectly good old furniture. Stuff that I can see from stamps or tags was made either locally to me or in my country. If its molded or got cat damage or massive bodily fluid stains I get it, but alot of stuff just needs some tlc. I've saved and kept some old night stands and other furniture. Coffee tables, lamps, etc.. Other times I sell it. Better than it going to the dump. In another 20-30 years all that old stuff will dry up, and all we will have is shitty stuff from Ikea and Wal-Mart. Antique stores will die out because there will be nothing left of worth to keep and see as valuable, since many countries started outsourcing manufacturing to China in the 1970s and 1980s.

>>464377 These photos come from home decor magazines, so there will be a combo of staged shoots and photos from actual homes. The stagecrafting can be subtle, but at-least detectable with a sharp eye. Judge on a case-by-case basis. I do not have an example of those midcentury cabinets, but an easy online image search for 'midcentury cabinets' should serve. >>464369 That leather chair was an attempt at ergonomics. And it is a very 70s design of giant leather cushions in a smooth fiberglass shell. It swivels of course. My parents grew up in the Great Depression and WW2 so as adults they saw getting anything second hard as an attack on their pride. I have a home filled with things bought at estate sales, charity thrift shops and consignment shops, and you nailed the difference in build quality. I call my stuff 'authentic retro', because it's in the stylings of the past that are now being copied but with noticeably inferior quality -- and lighter weight. Fourth photo in this block is a 'time capsule house', where the place got decorated during LBJ or Nixon, and was never touched again.

>>464377 Here's a fantastic Time Capsule Home that went up for sale for the first time in decades back in 2020: https://archive.curbed.com/2020/2/18/21141282/70s-time-capsule-home-interior-green

#5 here has the funky ergonomic chair from above, with black leather and in full profile to view that futuristic fiberglass shell.

Bookshelves, carpets, plants and paintings are all good elements, but the way they got implemented is marked by cheap showiness, like someone was trying too hard, tacky stuff, i don't like it, but i bet my mom would.

>>464429 Cheap showiness? Yes. Home decor magazines. They're showplace homes or they pile a room full of their ideas and you go and buffet the thing for what you might like. That's how home decor magazines work. Don't like it? scroll on by. No one cares.

>>464432 Can you admit you have 100% abandoned trying to post "comfy" pics? That you have been a fraud from the first post? That you have wasted everyone's time?

>>464439 Can you admit you're taking a picture thread on /b/ way too seriously? Can you admit that your definition of "comfy" is neither universal nor final? Can you admit "wasting everyone's time" on a scrollable image board is the weakest complaint you can bring?

>>464442 Pathetic Fraud Homosexual Faggot Bad Taste (not that anyone is surprised) Please show yourself hanging from a rope in one of your pathetic, grotesque rooms Hanging, like a thigh of pig; lifeless; clueless; the IQ of a turnip seed

>>464383 >My parents grew up in the Great Depression and WW2 so as adults they saw getting anything second hard as an attack on their pride. You must be pretty old. Are you the guy who started this thread? >>462228 I guess if I came from that era, I could understand why you would want to buy new. Back then though, it was made locally, made better, and the price wasn't too bad. However, I am not from that generation, so I take anything and everything secondhand / garbage picked because I'm thrifty and like to save money. My generation and the ones after me can't afford shit these days. >'time capsule house' Those are always neat to see. I weep for when the house gets sold and some asshat with no taste renos it all removing the good fixtures and other such things and replaces it all with inferior, foreign made things. I will say though that there are a few oldschool things I do not like, like tiled kitchen countertops. Just not a good choice. >>464393 That is green! Too much carpet for my taste. I moreso like "warm" colors. Yellows, browns, oranges, etc.. There is a woman nearby to me that lives in a townhouse complex built in the late 1970s and she has been there since 1985. She's in her early 80s. Her place has alot of stairs so I wonder how much longer she will be there. I bet her place is a time capsule of sorts. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the listing photos when it goes up for sale. >>464424 I bet that chair got sold at a garage sale for pennies back in the early to mid 1990s and now it would be worth more money. >>464460 You're a whiny bitch. Hide the thread if it offends you. Be happy some content is being posted on this deadass board. >Please show yourself hanging from a rope Oh retarded anon-sama, how can he take the photo if they are dead!

>>464586 Not started the thread I meant, but it's got some older gent talking about how much he hates his life.
