Something you'd relate to with your recent house hunting: when you check out a listing and the place hasn't been substantially updated in 30 or 40 years. The faded but well-kept carpet, the amber glass and three lamp light fittings, undercover areas with green corrugated fibreglass, the kitchen table, the vinyl covered kitchen chairs with their chrome legs, daphne and gardenia near the meterbox and roses along the driveway, the coir mat at the front door, kids bikes on the front lawn and a podium tennis pole embedded in the back..
I've seen some of those houses haha
Totem tennis! The dog fucking loved it! That amber glass you speak of I have one. It's on the sliding door between my kitchen and lounge room. It a pain to clean.
My late mother's house had it in a pattern of bottle bottom circles, in the sliding door to the lounge.
Haha. That's the one I've got.
