My parents bought a Westinghouse deep freezer in 1946. When my mom passed away in 2010 and the house was sold, the freezer was unplugged for the first time in 64 years. It ran the entire time without any repairs.

My dad passed away when I was 9 but before e did he made me a doll house and put the wall paper from each room (including the bathroom) in the corresponding doll house rooms. He also painted it olive green just like our house was. I still have it and cherish it so much.

A child of the 60's and 70's, I witnessed most all of this firsthand.
It was a magical time to be a kid; little did we know the end of it would arrive by the late 80's.
I truly feel bad for kids from that time since; all kids should have the chance to grow up when
we did, with innocence and wonder allowed us to just be kids.

Born in 1960 I loved the freedom of growing up in a time where kids could play outside all day and just come in for meals. A different time indeed.

I own a 1940s bungalow 1100 sq ft. with 2 bedrooms. I love my home. Just the correct size for us two retired folks.

I grew up in the 60s in Appalachia. Our home was built in the 1800s and was heated by a coal furnace. I can still walk the home and yard in my mind. A magical time to be a kid.

Wall phones with a "mile" long cord for privacy was the way to go. Especially for teenagers.

We were poor and didn't have any of these things, but I remember them from TV shows we watched on a second-hand TV that sat on a rusty metal stand.

born in 69, so missed the 60's, but they trickled over enough into the 70's i remember much of it. life was great then.

[AlBundyPolkHigh.]

My mom still has a lot of that stuff. My grandmother still had plastic on her furniture even in the 80s😂

Many of this slid in to the 70's. Love the memories.

I was born in 1951..little young for the 50’s remembering..but the 60’s..oh yea, this is it..spot on! In 1956 my parents bought a brand new split level home for $12, 500, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, one car garage on a cul de sac..what a neighborhood!! They lived there and gave us a great childhood for 30 years, retired, moved to Florida then back to Connecticut where most of our family lived, played, worked and..died..Omg were we blessed..Thank you..God Bless..😊

Thanks. I also recall “pole lamps” that were in a corner of a room, with spring loaded pole that was wedged between floor and ceiling. They usually had three or four adjustable lights with cone shaped shades. They still seem like a neat idea. 😀

Seems to me that people did a lot more entertaining in the 60s than they do now. Thank you Recollection Road for another wonderful trip down memory lane.

To this day I still love the sunken living room design. Although it was not in my house several friends from that era had it in theirs and I always found the look very relaxing and cozy, we had alot of great times in those little spaces.

I was born in 1962 and I grew up in a home like these. We had a Turquoise stove (gas) and my parents had bedroom furniture that was very square. We had a black and white tv but we did not have a console. Also the neighborhood I grew up in (North Hollywood) was very clean and neat. Everyone took care of their yards, including my Dad. He took great pride in doing yard work to make our house look good.

I was born in 1970, but still remember our kitchen setup being done in avocado colors, which I understand was also a fad of the 60s. And who could forget colored toilet paper, which I believe also became popular around that time? As a young kid I still remember we had pink, green, and blue depending on the time of year.

I love these sweet look back videos!!! Being a child in the 60s was a joy for the most part and these videos bring me such joy now so THANK YOU!!

[christopherkraft]

Loved this! I was a sixties kid! Remember the waxed fruit in bowls? How about bucket style dinette chairs that swiveled? And those giant wooden fork and spoon decorations! Loved it all 🙋‍♀️💕
