1960s Decorating Time Capsule Blast From the Past
Everybody is flabbergasted about this 1960s decorating inside a Toronto Home that was for sale. Now sold, the interior decor is a time capsule, blast from the past and is unforgettable.
This is Mad Men interior design on steroids. What boggles my mind is how the owner who has not changed her interior in 72 years has kept everything from the wallpaper to the sofa so well-preserved. I read that her family helped her keep up everything. Here’s a martini to her and her family for their dedication.
Hey, can we go back to this? The wallpaper and glam mirror in the entrance makes me feel like I am gift-wrapped.
Who knew 1960s decorating was so dreamy! I can hear Doris Day singing.
I am actually searching for drapes in this color tone family.
More incredibly preserved wallpaper and I am loving the pink and blue theme.
Wonderful blast from the past kitchen and appliances. This had me at,,,pink phone.
The sweetest breakfast nook, table and chairs. Wallpaper is making a big comeback. The roses look like they are big raining droplets of flowers.
Gosh, I remember metal wall decor like above the bed. I like the plush turquoise chair and plush pink sit upon in the owners master bedroom. Purple is the color of royalty.
Another lovely pink decorated bedroom.
Fun rec room. I call the home rare and wonderful. It makes me happy just to look.
To think all this glam was hidden behind this unpretentious home!

Such a surprise find inside. This person really really liked pink. My momma would so love it as well.
Surprise find inside, that is for sure. Oh show this house to your Mom sometime and let me know what she says. Thanks Anj
Wow!
It is amazing that it is all intact.
I think the house around the corner from me must look just like that inside!
Too fun Carol, you have to accidentally have to knock on their door.
Much brighter than today’s gray, black and white. I wonder if it will all come back again:) I grew up in a 60s house but it was not quite that pink or glamorous. I do recognize some of the decor items – the little piano on the coffee table is a music box I think. We had one just like it. Also the bedroom lamps, gold mirrors and chandelier. However, it was a little closer to 52 years ago than 72 years ago:)
I very much enjoy you website!
Thank you Jeanne for the nice compliment that made my day. I did not notice he little piano on the coffee table and so cool you had one like it. You’re so right about how most of us did not grow up with “not quite that pink or glamorous” decor. I used to dream about those pink princess phones a lot.
Oh that pink I love it. And the pink phone love that too! I wouldn’t even remodel this one..it’s just so perfect the way it is. A blast from the past!
I wish that it would stay like it is too. A friend I grew up with kind of had a little breakfast nook like this, but not in fluffy pink.
