Instant 1950s/60s House Kit

One of the essential tools that we'll be using during our renovations will be the Instant 1950s/60s House Kit, my Christmas present from Uncle Geoff.

Here's the instructions - click on the picture to get a legible version. (Yes - that's Allan playing the piano in their sitting room in Invercargill.)



The kit contains "everything we'll need to create an atmosphere of cool modernity". From a bottle of life-preserving Pimms (to be served with home-grown cucumbers, of course) to a handy carry-set of glasses. The pictures are gracing our bedroom walls already (no - we don't know the bride but isn't she splendid?) and we'll be hunting down a gramophone to give voice to our new LPs.

    1. If you click on the image, you should be able to enlarge the photo. Do let me know if you think it is your mother!
