This month we are featuring homes from the Traditional category and our first showcase is from Maiden Constantine with her Winchester House. She’s named her parcel “That 70’s House” and she sure has lived up to that name, as you’ll see when we get to the interior pictures.

I’m loving the overal open viewing of the backyard; and you will see why further along in the blog.

Maiden added a little outdoor laundry room in the backyard and I think it’s just adorable!

She’s not only taken advantage of the deck coming off the house fromthe back door, but also added in a raised deck at the back of the house for a larger entertainment area.

The first little deck area chairs just make me think of those horrible plasticy vinyl chairs from the 70’s that burnt the back of your thighs in summer when you sat on them after they had been baking in the sun for hours!

The larger deck area has some pretty fantastic views of her awesome location. This is just one view of the backyard showing the lighthouse in the distance and uninterupted ocean views.

Now we head inside, and what did I tell you; it’s a time warp back to the 70’s! You can just smell the mothballs already hahaha.

The busy print of the kitchen wallpaper with it’s matching yellow and orange kitchen cupboards are a sight to behold. If you grew up in this era, or have relatives that still live in an old house from the era, you’ll start to feel right at home.

Heading into the living room I just felt like pulling on a pair of flares and a fringe top and belting out “groovy baby, yeah”! This wallpaper is just… just, so very much 70’s!

There’s even a stack of TV dinner folding tables in the corner, macrame hanging from the wall and a doorway full of those noisy beads on a string.

When you head upstairs there’s frames on the wall of those those old nails and woven string art pieces, in very matching orange, yellow and brown colours.

While dowstairs was all very matchy matchy with its yellow, orange and brown hues; the bedroom throws it into overdrive with some added teals and greens. If you have a Winchest house currently you’ll notice this room is a bit different and it’s because Maiden has also taken advantage of one of themany Linden Add-ons that are out there at the moment. This one giving her a small walk in closet and a bathroom area.

And here is that lovely green I mentioned previously. Filling the bathroom with it. I love that the toilet seat has the look of one of those old fluffy seat covers. Do you remember those? Ahhhh the flashbacks this house is giving me is wonderful!

A 70’s bedroom just wouldn’t be complete without a king size bed draped with a gaudy busy print bedspread with matching pillow covers. You made your bed with hospital corners Maiden, so proud! haha

I had to finish the tour off with another picture of that fantastic view Maiden has from the back of the house. This time from the deck off the upstairs bedroom looking in the other direction at all the houseboats of other residents.

Maiden’s parcel truly is a keeper and if she ever decides to give it up, which I think she would be mad to, I’m sure it would go very very quick with views like it has. If you want to go check it out for yourself, she welcomes visitors. So pop on over and take a trip back in time.

(The next few items I am not entirely sure on as Maiden has done a great job on reducing prim count and removed items here and there so I struggled finding the root prim with the name on it and as some of these are full perm items I’m not sure if she purchased full perms items and made the kitchen herself or not; and she has also repurposed pieces from what I think was a set for something else and she has unlinked pieces to use in the kitchen)
