knots-in pine built-in house Osaka
my bedroom growing up was all custom built knotty pine shelves and desks but that sort of 60s yellowish veneer. just seeing the term gives me the shivers.
Super nice
I think the knots indicate that it's a fast growing renewable sourced lumber. Dave a coat of paint would do that kitchen wonders. Wonders years.
Ugh. That kitchen....
I've painted over many a knotty pine interior over the years (white, every time...), and I'm always amazed at the transformation. Remove the hardware, replace after painting, and the effect is striking.
Exactly. The hardware has to go too.
its too late to whitewash my memory. not my kitchen though it may have been. my parents redid the kitchen first thing. but there was a lot of it in my bedroom and our den/tv room had that paneling for the first ten years i lived there.
No tiki room in the basement with palm frond topped bar? Foo.
there was a very large bar in the paneled room courtesy of the previous owners but mostly served as excess storage and hide and go seek location before it was torn down when the room underwent renovation. bar area was future home of the franklin ace 1000!
Must have been wasps. Jews don't make a cult of drinking.
i think their name was slattery which i suspect was irish. not known to be big drinkers if popular perceptions are correct.
very little drinking in my house. i have no memory of my mother drinking ever, maybe she had some wine at larger family functions but i cant recall seeing it. but she was well doped up courtesy of her psychiatrist and they sort of frowned on mixing alcohol and meds. somewhere around when i went to high school my father started having the occasional drink after work but he wasnt very ambitious. before that it was the even more occasional budweiser on a football sunday along with whatever else he picked up at the german deli to eat. i believe baileys irish cream over ice was favored though that may have given way to vodka once i was away at college.
i think my fathers father liked his whisky, j & b if memory serves.
