I was privileged enough today to have the magnificent Veg-o-matic grace my abode and I have some pictures to prove it! I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that he didn't wear his Tab shirt, but it is winter, so I understand.

Here he is in my living room. What is that strange hand signal he's making? He must be part of Toggle's evil gang.
 
Pat Sajak would be proud

Here is the esteemed Veg-o-matic doing his best Vanna White imitation. I have to say, he really seems to have it down. He must have practiced that.

While I was searching for something to give Mr. Matic, I unexpectedly pulled out some old Frigidaire broshures with some awesome pictures of old Frigidaire appliances. Who knows what else may be hiding in this place. My scanner decided not to work about a month ago, so I can't post any pics at this time, but eventually I'll try to post some great pics from these catalogs.
 
Looks like you two had fun!

Mr. Pope being the observant one that I am... I see the cell phone on your hip, and the time on the clock... Did it happen to ring?

Mike: Did you check his jacket for a coffee pot of two before he left? LOL
 
Wow - that must have been fun! You're a lucky guy Veg - may of us who aren't so lucky landwise would love to venture through his treasure trove! Not that it is for the picking though... =)

How cool

You have a great place there, I know you are tired of that Vanna displayed, oil/electric dryer so I will come up and get that out of the way for you.. :-)
I know you two had a great time, thanks for sharing!

Is it drapes or curtains?

Is it sauce, or gravy?

Is it drippings, or *au Jus*?

Is it live, or is it Memorex?

I always thought curtains were short and flimsy, whereas drapes were these elaborate heavy draped long things as seen in a living room.
 
Bethann, there was a power outage at my house last week. It might have had something to do with me running the Radarange and the Versatronic when the Kelvinator kicked on. Or maybe it was a squirrel getting fried at the transformer down the street. But it was actually closer to 3:30 when the picture was taken.

When I asked Mr. Matic what he needed for his place, his first response was "I'll take one of everything". But when I actually pushed him to take stuff, he declined. I took him through the lamp graveyard. I took him through the Wayward Home for Midcentury items. But in the end, he only took a UFO lamp with him to replace the UFO lamp that was shot down in his kitchen.

If you ask Veg, who is from Baltimore, a drape is a greaser, a juvie, someone from the other side of the tracks. But I do believe a drape is as toogle said, a longer flowing curtain that goes all the way to the floor. And I'm afraid to take the Gay-o-meter test, because I fear that I may score higher than a lot of you even though I'm not gay.
 
Plug it in. Plug it in.

uh, Mike.

If your dryer is indeed electric (almost a given, I think we have all determined) whether it is working on 220v or 110v (that GE IIRC is cconvertible easily), it would most-likely be on a separate circuit.

:-)
 
Black out

Well then a squirrel got fried again. It happens every couple of months here. When the electricity goes off, I'm somewhat trapped inside my house because I have an electric garage door and I've never been able to figure out how to open it manually.

OK, OK, you wanna see more curtains? Veg was facinated with curtains/drapes in my place. Here are the curtains in my pink bathroom (and you wonder what I'm afraid to take the gay-o-meter test).
 
Fiberglass

This picture didn't turn out so well. These drapes are fiberglass, so they are very shiny. These are in my guest bedroom. The extra material was cut to appropriate size to be table runners for the Heywood Wakefield furniture in the room. I shouldn't even know what table runners are.
 
More fiberglass

This photo turned out slightly better, but you still don't get the live effect. These are in my home office.
 
Tiki Fabric

This is the material I chose for the tiki lounge. I recently purchased a valance that I think will be perfect for this. I'm going to try to get that up later today. Valance. I shouldn't even know what a valance is. Damn.
 
And finally

The curtains you've seen a hundred times, the curtains in the kitchen. I left one room out of the curtain gallery because the curtain is not actually vintage, only alter to look vintage and I'll be swapping it out soon.
 
Old Frigidaire Stuff

Here's one of the two frigidaire brochures that materialized as I was looking for the Dandy Line 1963-64 Current Hairstyles catalog for Veg. This brochure is a tie-in with a World's Fair exhibition. Probably the Seattle one. I didn't know there was a Flair built-in.
 
Cant tell if you were joking...

I have an electric garage door and I've never been able to figure out how to open it manually.
-There should be a pull-cord near where the track joins the machine.

If your garage is detached, there is frequently a cable that goes to a key (near the top of the door). The whole lock cylinder pops out, at which time you pull the cord to release the door from the track. Same effect, but it can be opened from outside the garage.
 
It's so cool man!

Oh Mike:

Love your place and your decor and your smalls! I've been jettisoned back to the 50's! Where do you find that fabulous fabric? I'd love to get some retro fabric for the laundry studio! Just terrific! I (unusually so) am speechless.

BTW: I agree with Bethann...did you check our infamous Silver Fox's pockets? I think you may be missing a cocktail table or two.....;-)
