Show us your vintage home!

I was thinking of doing a little redecorating! which one of these photos, best captures the vintage decor? The last photo is what I hope my 1913 Sears Dreadnaught will look like when it's done.

You live in a motorcycle museum?!

James, if he lived in California, that Ducati wouldn't be on the wall for long.

If I don't quit buying, yes!

Though not terribly vintage, this space accommodates a bike installation much better than any of the others; which look like the owner had no other place to park their bike.

Yeah, hippies would steal it.

I don't see a Metralla there yet.

Funny you should mention that! We have a club, for 250cc or smaller bikes, I am trying to find a Benelli, but I may take a Bultaco as a close second.

If I don't come up with an Italian bike, we may have to talk!

Stearman I can't speak for the rest of those photos, but that Sears bike appears to be in the Barbers museum, which is just down the road from me. It is a (the) pretty world class collection if you are ever down south

Wow, great bike collection! But... in the house? hehe.

Actually, if you look, it is several houses and apartments, none of which belong to me!

Making a little progress on the new place. Installed a more mid-century appropriate light fixture in the foyer. Next weekend I'm going to tackle painting over the turd brown walls in the living room.

I don't know if they would put out enough light, but that fixture screams for some Edison bulbs!

I thought that too, until I saw how much they cost. It takes 18 bulbs, so that idea quickly moved pretty low on the priority list. Maybe one day.

Yeah, brown is not a high priority color for me either.
The light fixture is cool though. It distracts from the brown.
