    I have a whole play area filled with 1950s & 1960s toys, lol! (Dolls, cradles, a highchair, stroller, rocking horse, various wooden toys, metal trucks, picture books, trains, cars, puzzles, kitchen toys, a play kitchen, table and chairs....) I have carefully curated them throughout the years for my grandkids, and they love to play with them.

    Holy cow, that basement is superb. I'm old enough to remember that style, and it is immaculate. Also, snatching toys literally right out of a kid's sandbox is a baller move.

      Davenport was the name of a series of sofas made by the Massachusetts furniture manufacturer A. H. Davenport and Company, now defunct. Due to the popularity of the furniture at the time, the name davenport became a genericized trademark in parts of the United States. Wikipedia

    About 2002 a friend from my high school was in town and invited me over to her parents house to visit. (I graduated 1980) So, high school was late 70's. When I went inside her parents place was exactly as I remembered from high school. It was like walking into a time capsule. Complete with the couches like you described and a rotary phone on the desk! They were still using the console television / stereo cabinet from then! Every room in the house was exactly as I recalled it being in the 70's! It was super cool, but a little weird! lol... However, 'German Bill's Rompus Room' is pretty awesome! Thanks for the tour!

    My wife and I tried to buy her great aunts house several years ago. When you walked in the front door you time warped into the 1950's. The intire house from the wallpaper, wallpanneling, furniture, even the tv. The kitchen table all the decor throughout. The drapes and curtains to the carpet. It was absolutely incredible.

I love how Josh is always rescuing insects and wild critters and moving them to safer ground.

      @Lucinda_Jackson 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We called it that in parts of the US, too, but it was a regional thing. Either rumpus room or rec room, and those were always in the basement or perhaps a converted garage. In the 60s they started building houses with a formal living room for meeting with guests and an informal space for the family called, appropriately, the family room. Sometimes those houses also had a finished rec room in the basement!

    My grandparents had a sofa in their "parlor" that the back folded down and it could be made into a child size bed. My grandmother called it the "divan". Maybe that's a southern thing.

    My Mum still has the 2 rocking arm chairs that belong to the 3 piece lounge/couch set like those but hers has pheasants on them as well as the flowers.. I'm in Australia and was a kid in the 70s and we have always called the room where a bar or games tables etc were a Rumpus room as well so probably not just a Canadian thing because that was before the internet and all I knew about Canada then was they had moose n Mounties hahaha...

    Alex, you have the most interesting friends. I've always wanted to tour Canada, but have not had the opportunity. Thank you for creating such interesting videos and sharing your life with us. It is exciting to see the new extention to the store coming along nicely. The tour of Bill's 1970's basement was a real treat.

    Grew up in a large family that my father hauled around in a 1959 baby blue Plymouth station wagon. It was a log wagon. Lots of miles and memories in that car. The fins went on forever.

      @@janusjoplin3987 at least when our families were on the road we were stylin' back then. We argued as to who sat in the 3rd seat facing the rear window because my dad would let us put our feet on the edge as he hauled ass in that beast. Times have changed.

      @@marianbauer2388 I went with my father to the Plymouth dealership to purchase the car new. They had it in three colors...comet red, baby blue and white. I wanted the red but my father said my mother would be unhappy with the red. It probably looked like a big firetruck. Those cars were ginormous.

      We didn't have a Plymouth. Although I do remember them well!
      Mom drove a two-tone '63 Rambler station wagon and we also had a black '65 Ambassador sedan...

    Thanks for sharing your home Bill. I have also heard of a 'rumpus room' in USA, but though it was like an extra game room. 😁
