The interiors of our childhood

Forest, sea, mountains, fields and other flora to fauna in the wall - one time everyone is removed from the wall and the carpet is not glued to her wallpapers. It looked scary, but people really liked it. By the way, say, wallpapers are in vogue again. So, go ahead!





Without a carpet in a respectable way home. Carpet should decorate at least one wall. And best of two. And best of another mat spread out on the floor to the feet cozy and warm, and neighbors - heartache.

Especially prized Czech chandeliers with numerous pendants. And that "horns" more, more. Nothing that little room area of ​​16 squares, so chandelier takes up half the ceiling and light so that your eyes hurt. But the heart is happy, and immediately visible prosperity. Availability of useful contacts. And delicate taste.



Brought them from "abroad", handed over to the commission, and from there, this "unearthly beauty" sprawling throughout the Soviet Union. Nobody bothered nor terrible quality of the dishes, or vulgarity pastoral scenes, no mess pearlescent coating. On the contrary, I think it all endlessly refined. "Madonna" lovingly put behind glass and getting out only to wipe off the dust and return back.



Madonna Madonna, and without crystal in the USSR was not happy. Piles, wine glasses, champagne glasses certainly on long stalks, candy and certainly, if you're lucky, the miracle of the Soviet glass industry - horn crystal. Did any of this horn anything at all drank?



Chasing deficit was not, but if we remember correctly, cost is not so cheap, so to disperse it on the walls of the hall was thought not ashamed. And yet, many hung on the bathroom door and the toilet coinage depicting Manneken Pis and girls, like also wrote, although the girls so soon and can not tell.

Fashion for the elephants was just rampant. Elephants were made of wood, porcelain, clay and plaster. Somewhere townsfolk knew to put their butts to the door, so that wealth and prosperity, at the sight of the elephant legs, desired to live in the house once and for all. Children touch the elephants strictly forbidden, but of course all played with them on the sly. They're cute.



Napkins were crocheted, boiled up and severely starched blue. Decorated their coffee table, TV, and sometimes under the crystal shelves. Some advanced housewives prefer homemade linen imported napkins with embroidery, but these tissues were hard to get, so often treated Handmaiden.



Statuettes were imported - any ballerina, maid of honor, and even (nightmare!) Half-naked shepherdess. They thrill, excitement and lack of understanding of "how all this can be done." Vodilas whole krasotischa his comrades "foreign." And even were funny little figurines of domestic production, "get" that was much easier. Plant them in frightening numbers, superbly collected dust and were the object of desire of all the children who did not want to understand why they are forbidden to touch these wonderful toys.



Well, "Sharp" is! Import, double cassette, welcome. And yet "Panasonic" and "Sony". To heighten the glamor - amp and huge speakers. The more columns, the more surely will die of envy neighbors. Well vidak itself.



In fact, the book read in the Soviet Union and all the many, who would not say that now. But also a decorative function, they also carried. Shelf with books, and even a bookcase - Masthev any Soviet apartment. And the presence of books meant that you have the opportunity to "get a subscription," and then you are not an easy man. Supposed to have a home library of Jack London, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Library of adventure and science fiction (really cool) and "Angelica».



Large mirror of three parts, mounted on a desk with drawers - overriding attribute. On the trellis certainly exhibited my mother's French perfume "Climate" and my father's cologne "Sasha". Trellis for you to understand, very cool shtukentsiya to play in the mirror. Regular arrangement of the valves could achieve an infinite number of reflections and clock faces to pose them. And sprinkles "Klim».



The wall must be imported (Romanian - very cool) and be sure to "inlay". The more on the door of chipboard nalyapano clumsy rigmarole, the more solid. And in the right wall of separation must be under the dishes. With light and mirrors. "Madonna" also need somewhere to place.



Lacquered huge clam shell unknown (sometimes several unknown clams) was brought from the resort and was put in a prominent place for all to see that the master-master and visited the Sea-okiyanah. Children know that if you put a shell to your ear, you hear the sound of waves. And they are really noisy!



That is certainly above the door had to hang horns. Large such bushy and dangerous. Horns sometimes hoisting fashionable hat. Sometimes nothing hoisting, because they already looked pretty scary.



Truly a rare beast - a serving table on wheels means that the owner visited abroad. Repeatedly. There's something he acquired this bourgeois (but delicious) manner - serve coffee and snacks are on a special table. On ordinary days missed in the corner of a table piled high with some garbage, but for the arrival of guests raskhlamlyalsya, rubbed against stains and at a crucial moment proudly rolled out into the living room. Shock! Shock! Shock!



Foreign alcohol to drink sooner or later, and the bottle was thoroughly washed and collected. Someone was holding the bottle in the fridge, and some even a special shelf under their masters (and not one). This collection looked gorgeous, and caused the guests endless envy. Sometimes the bottle gets a second life and used for domestic cordials, but most were simply decorated. And we - the children from their parents secretly poured into lemonade and played into the adult life of luxury.
