  • I moved to LA, California and as my first apartment, I wanted a place where I could live my time traveling dreams! I have always been fascinated with the 1950s living and wanted to recreate it but in a fun fitting way so what's better than a 1950's Palm Springs Mid Century Modern apartment that is only a couple hours away from Palm Springs itself! In this video, you will get to see how I decorated the apartment to bring the era to life on a budget!

      I think those kind of door knobs were actually more 80s. I remember them well. And I think for her purposes the gold worked better and on a budget it would have been expensive to buy replacement knobs.

      Just because something looks old doesnt make it vintage. They look more from the 80s or 90s, to be real vintage itd need to be from like the early 60s and that's pushing it,because vintage is more 50s than anything

      I agree, but anywhere in CA the rental market is tight. If she had complained about the condition of the unit there were probably a dozen people ready to rent it as is. I hope she got something in writing from the landlord allowing her to make changes.

Im originally from Baltimore and our tv was next to the "ice box" in the eat in kitchen. We rolled it into the living room in the evening. But the rabbit ears, complete with aluminum foil, had better reception in the kitchen area. Thanks for the video, i really enjoyed it.

      You're right. It's definitely called baseboards. Crown, meaning something at the very top, goes up around the ceiling. They are no plain like baseboards. They beautiful moldings that add demention to the space between the ceiling and the walls.

I didn't ever live in a nice enough place to have any kind of molding until I moved where I am a few years ago, so I am not an expert at all.

      Brandy Jay thank you for actually understanding the concept! You are spot on. The whole “ vintage “ thing is getting muddied and distorted by the lack of actual understanding of a time period or era...the apartment in the video looks lovely but it annoys me that a self proclaimed and clearly influential ( to impressionable audience) vintage expert, didn’t buy second hand . It’s environmentally ( if you’re into that and we all should be) so much better and old furniture lasts longer is period correct and doesn’t support cheap nasty factory labour.
      Agh
      It’s so simple
      It also looks so so much better.
      Key items from thrift stores saves money and the environment . Why wouldn’t you?
      Also there’s a big big difference as I’m sure you’d agree between vintage and antique.
      Let’s keep our vintage passion true and not let history get murkier by incorrect info being passed along
      Ps your house sounds absolutely gorgeous and you’ve obviously put a tonne of love and care into restoring it to be as good as it was when built
      That’s exactly how it should be -
      If you can’t afford a George Nelson clock don’t get a cheap nasty made in China knock off that kinda sorta maybe reminds you a little of one if you squint .... wait . One will come along...

    You may not be interested, but when a person has a real affinity for an era that they seemingly have no experience with, it's likely because you lived a past life during that period. How do I know this? Long story short, I'm 56 and had an unexplained affinity for all things 1920's and 1930's my entire life. No idea why. I'm just drawn to it and when I see old pictures or movies on TV I just relax and go "Ahhhh". My current house is decorated in a very 1920's look. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I had a psychic reading from Psychic Violetta (CZcams)(very gifted lady). I asked about past lives, knowing that whatever she said I would have to take with a grain of salt since who can prove it anyway? Well, she said I was a flapper girl in the 20's and 30's and was blonde and very pretty and all the men wanted me but just used me up and threw me away. I only wanted to find love, but none of them wanted to know me; only use me. I then spent my life alone.... I was astounded because she just explained the exact same life I lived in the 1990's in this life. In the 1990's, in my 30's, I had died my hair blonde, went out every night dancing, (just as she said I did in the 1920's and 30's) and looked for love, but only found men who lied to me to use me and then threw me away. They lied about being married. I had one "boyfriend" who up and got married one weekend after spending his last night of "freedom" with me. I had no idea he had a fiance as he had been sleeping with me for about 3 months. It was all just a game to those men. I then have been alone ever since because I don't trust men. This happened to me so much back then because I was blessed to have been very pretty in my 30's....men sought me out like crazy. (Sorry, for the sob story) but after Violetta told me about this past life in the 20's and 30's, I told her how I had lived that very life in the 1990's, and that I had also had an odd nostalgia and affinity for 1920's and 1930's decorating...she told me that obsessions with other eras are sure signs that we lived a lifetime during that time and hence we have nostalgia for that time. My part in having to relive the situation in the 90's was that I was trusting bad men when my higher self was trying to tell me to run, but I didn't listen. So I had to live the lifetime again. Guess what? I failed in the 1990's again, because I turned a blind eye to the signs that told me these men weren't worth spending my time with. I pretended to myself that those men were better men than they actually were, just because I was in puppy love. So I very well might have to relive it the next time around until I make the right decisions ;( Just watching this one video of you, you likely would have lived a very entrepreneurial life has a young lady in the 1950's just like you are today, likely with the very same hairstyle you choose to wear today. Whatever big story lines are going on in your life today, are likely the story lines you lived in the 1950's. Oh, one other thing... I was so obsessed with flapper girls that I even wore my hair for a time in the 90's in the style of Louise Brooks; short hair, ending with a curl at the front... That is the same exact hair that Violetta described me having in the 1920's and 30's...

      Cindy That’s EXACTLY what I thought when I read the CZcams description. She definitely had a past life in that era. Your story was saddening, yet inspiring. Once you acknowledge these past life patterns, they become easier not to repeat, also weakening the karma. I wish you wellness, happiness and love for the remainder of this life. Remember we create our reality, so embody true love, release your engrained past life story, and find self love. In true paradoxical fashion, I guarantee once you do, you’ll run in to a genuine love in this life. We are NOT our past life karma. Good luck Cindy! ♥️

The grounds seemed familiar to me, even writing this I’m tearing up... I’ve always had a thing for the 18th century and honestly a thing for Paris. Reading this just confirmed a feeling in my tummy.

    My mom was born in 1953, she and I love this style of decor. She, my dad, and I lived in a vintage home, literally vintage home, with vintage furniture. I remember the health department had to take all the paint off our walls (lead based paint and being a child it can cause fatal happenings, and you can be an adult and be affected, too.) But we repainted and it was still fun to see how people lived back then. You really know your stuff! 😊👍

      @lovemyferals Před 5 lety

      This is my first time seeing one of her videos but, judging by the number of subscribers and the quality of the video, I would say that YT is her job and she can afford the apartment (whether she is renting or bought it) because of the number of views she gets. Plus it looks like she has another channel. If you're not shy and have a passion for something, grab that phone or camera and start putting out content. You might be able to make YT a full-time job someday or at least have it pay for gas & groceries. Good luck!!!💕

    DISCLAIMER NONE OF THE LINKS LISTED ARE AFFILIATE! -I just love decorating and fixing up houses (-i actually use to stage houses for open houses and im living vicariously through you 😄 Okay, for a small bathroom the little stands that go above the toilet are a lifesaver for storage! They make plain wire ones or fancy wood ones with doors. You can get ones that hang on the wall or the ones with legs that you just literally stand up behind potty. Oh! And if you have a super large mirror, go to lowes or home depot and they have FOAM crown molding thats cheap and absolutely beautiful and you just caulk it to the mirror and go around all sides and it makes it look like a huge fancy framed mirror... let me get you some links to show what i mean.
    Heres mirror: she might have used wood crown molding but foam is a lot cheaper and looks just the same. Lowes will cut it for free, and shhh its a secret 😉 but my husband works at lowes so let me know and i can get you a discount lol

    www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-3-Shelf-Bathroom-Over-the-Toilet-Space-Saver-with-Liner-Satin-Nickel/270311266
    this would look amazing above potty or on any wall and has the gold metal frame! I think itll tie the rooms together fabulously lol

    THIS ONE IS GORGEOUS! It says vintage but I'm a novice so i dont know if it rly is vintage and if so idk which decade. Its smaller than the others so it could be used above potty or on a different wall for extra extra storage

    Okay and this lil thing is AMAZING! you can slide it between potty and sink cabinet, thats if your potty is next to your sink. And you can use it next to icebox if theres a gap. My bathroom is rly small and the vanity/cabinet has no drawers so i bought this to slide in between vanity and toilet and its been amazing. It holds way more than it looks like it would.

    Oh and you cant forget the spice rack, it could totally work for bathroom storage, you can hang wash cloths/towels on the top ledge. Or i suppose you could indeed use it for spices in kitchen 😉 regardless, its super cute and i think it matches the rest of your home

I'm also glad that she found a way to liven up her apartment in unique ways because when you rent, landlords don't want you to make to many changes.
