70s Living Room

I had a slight change in direction this week as I very quickly realised that I was a little time poor. But I am very happy with how this room had turned out or at least starting to take shape. There are still more details to add and a sun room to build which will bring the whole space together.

Plywood paneling walls are a hallmark of 1970’s decor

Thanks Jay jay, you are so right. It's amazing how many things you remember from that era that really speaks to the 70's vibe 😊

That fireplace is so cute. Everything just fits and who would ever think that the carpet is a washcloth! I absolutely love your channel Gina I’m glad you created it for me!

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Haha, of course Lucy 😉i'm super surprised at how well the shag pile carpet came out, I think I'll do something similar for the bedroom but a different colour.

Totally agree ,fireplace is very cute,I love the whole 70s look in the lounge

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Raelene, I've added a little more detail to it today and its looking even better, so happy with how that came together 🙂

[@barbkeith2697]

You nailed the era. While not my favorite for fashion and design (I was a teen and young adult during that era) I love your work and it’s spot on!

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Thank you Barb, yes it's been a lot of fun putting it together especially the pattern on pattern! And the crazy colour combinations!

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

Yep, that's the 70s. Great job! I'm really impressed how you picked the right vibe without crossing the line into having fun with the 70s. I enjoy both sides, your way is much more rare. I remember that time fondly.

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Cassandra, thank you, I’ve really enjoyed getting immersed into the 70’s to create these rooms and there is more to come 😊

[@coby9896]

Gosh, Gina you have done a great job at recreating the 70s look. I cannot believe that we thought shag carpet was ‘cool’

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Coby, yes you are so right! It's one trend that didn't stand the test of time lol I'm really happy with how it's all coming together.

[@elizabethraworth64]

Gorgeous! So we'll done. Thank you for such great videos.

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Elizabeth, you are welcome and thank you 🙂

[@palomamiyaya]

Those chairs are looking very realistic, I love the whole room.

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Paloma, thank you, they turned out better than I thought 🙂

[@DonnaMull]

if it's the 70's you need an overflowing ashtray!

[@terramarini6880]

I have one of those fireplaces, not the hanging one, mine is made to stand on a hearth. I found it in the local dump and brought it home to be my backyard firepit.

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Terra, that would make an excellent fire pit, in fact I see some modern ones that have a similar design, maybe not so large at the bottom. If I could get my hands on one, I would definitely do that too.

[@bookwyrms.2658]

Giggling, because - I remember70s style far too well!

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Brookwyrm, I know that you mean, I do too as I am thinking of ideas 🙂

[@queencityminis]

This is fantastic! Excellent filming and editing, as well as voiceover. I'm so happy I found your channel today.
Can you share what type of mic you're using? It sounds great.

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

Hi Shyra, thank you for saying, and welcome 🙂
The mic, well, my one actually stopped working so I reverted to using my laptop mic! I do cover any hard surfaces around the laptop so that the sound doesn't bounce around and it seems to work, kind of okay, at least for now.
