I love the 70s...

Below, in all of its glory, is the house that my boyfriends family rented at Bass Lake last summer...and no, they had no idea that the interior spaces would be so AWESOME! It was a complete time warp, and I loved every minute of it. From the larger than life lamps and sofas, to the fluorescent accent lights in the ceiling, and lets not forget the moose head mounted above the glorious stone fireplace. PURE BEAUTY!
Notice the lovely drapes that are on every wall...and the sofas that were 8 feet long and probably 1 foot high. Made me want to put on my favorite trapeze dress like one of these...
...and throw a fabulous cocktail party. Maybe my dress could even coordinate with the couch...too much? or not?
This is some intense wood paneling, and I think the owners had a weird thing for strange statues.
Best part of the house, besides the decor (of course), was that it was right on the lake and we had our own dock where we could park/crash in one case, the Sea-do's and boat...
...and here we are, next to a lovely statue of a knight in his shining armor.
...and this would be Ryan's younger brother who is the most entertaining person I know!
...and now for the pièce de résistance, my favorite piece of furniture in the entire house.

What kind of upholstery is on this lovely armchair you ask?
What are those buttons?

....well that would be some fabulous avocado colored vinyl, and those buttons would be the controls for this vibrating armchair. After a long day of Sea-doing and boating, this chair was such a fantastic place to sit and relax and have your muscles massaged, oh and don't worry if you haven't completely dried off from the lake, this chair is waterproof so just wipe off the water residue from your bathing suit when you are finished with your massage.

This chair, and house, make me kind of sad that I missed the 70s by 6 years....
