Eclectic Home Tours: The 70’s Landing Pad Home Tour, Part 1

Summer Home Tour, Part Two

I cannot believe I actually just typed that title, y’all.

We just moved into the 70’s Landing Pad about three weeks ago. By no stretch is the house completed, but the fact that I can actually share a home tour with y’all that doesn’t include a three inch thick layer of dust on the floors is a huge accomplishment for me. There still aren’t curtains in the living room and dining room and things aren’t exactly the way I want them just yet, but that takes time and it is what it is. #reallife #itaintalwayspretty

Today, I’ll share the living room, dining room, hall bathroom and my office as part of the Eclectic Home Tours. Next week, I’ll have the Circus’ bedroom, the master bath and the den for you, so stay tuned. I’ve already revealed the Well Traveled Master Bedroom and if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s here.  Don’t miss the rest of the tours in the Eclectic Home Tours either – links are at the end of this post – I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I’m not going to do much talking in this one. Instead, I’ll come back over the next few weeks and share all the details of each space separately and what all we did to each room along with before shots of the rooms when we bought the house. Also there’s the fact that this post is supposed to be published along with everyone else’s on the tour today at 8am EST and I’m just now writing the post at 7:48 AM EST. #storyofmylife

Without further ado, I present to you the semi-finished 70’s Landing Pad.

    Wow. I am amazed by every detail in every room. The old calendars in your office, the cantilever chairs, the brass rocking horse! I want to grab a snack and look through the whole thing again! And I love the 70’s vibe. We don’t see a lot of that!

    1. Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof

      Thanks, Colleen! Those calendars were actually left in the garage here and I couldn’t bear to throw them away! The other things you mentioned were all yard sale and thrift finds!!

    I love it all! I have been following the rest of the tours this week and knew yours would be great, even though you just moved. And even though I wouldn’t necessarily pick some of the same pieces as you for my house, I still love yours the best. There’s an overall sense of style that you have that shows off your, and your family’s, personality that I just adore. Plus, you have some of the best *special* pieces I’ve ever seen, especially in blogland!!! The “WTF” pillow, the gun bookends, the quotes you use, everything that really makes your house unique and you are just perfect!!!

    1. Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof

      Oh Megan. Thank you so much. If there’s one thing I believe when it comes to decorating, it’s that your home should reflect your and your family’s personality, likes, etc. To hear you say you see that in my home, means the world to me!!

    Strikingly gorgeous and amahzing (said in my fancy pants voice) as always. Love the way everything ties together and wow did you get a lot done in such a little amount of time. Can I just say I love the Nancy Drew books on the shelf. I used to read them voraciously as a kid, and I still have my almost complete collection. I was inspired by Nancy to learn how to pick locks, and I used to practice on my grandma’s vintage suitcases. I can’t use a bobby pin in my hair to save my life, but use one to pick the lock on a vintage suitcase and I’m your girl! 🙂

      Ahh, the Nancy Drew books. They were one of my faves too as a kid! I was convinced there were hidden doors, stairways, etc. in every house I went in!! Thank you, girl!

    Girl you have done an amazing job. That couch, OMG! It is as gorgeous as I remembered, there are so many things that I love, I don’t think I can mention all of them, but you have added beautiful texture like that snake skin rug. You have managed to mix mid century with modern.
    The dinning room looks so elegant, I love that rug and the table and chairs,(you lucked-out there) and I still think that print looks like a poodle, once you find the snout, I love it. That bathroom vanity is just beautiful, I love the color I love everything about that BR. Your office is amazing, You mixed it up real good in there, I can see your family treasures, love the colors and again the textures. You won’t mind spending time in there I’m sure.
    Like I said there is just to much to mention, but it is all just beautiful, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished and very tired.

      Oh thank you so much, Patty! I’m thrilled with how well it has came together and am so glad you like it. I’m so going to sit at that dining room table and find this poodle. I think beer might help! haha!

    I’m impressed with how much you’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time! Love the new house, especially the dining room. I was curious how your in-laws like your old digs? They did move in there, right? (I could be totally fabricating that fact.) Anyway, things are looking great!

    Reply
    1. Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof

      Thanks, Sharon! You’re right – they are moving in there! There are some things that are staying – like the navy and white cabinets and other things they are getting rid of – like the confetti wall! haha! I knew they would and that’s totally ok. My style isn’t always their style and that’s completely understandable!

    I absolutely love your sense of style. I watch Mad Men on Netflix almost solely to scour the home and office decor of that time period. You’ve done a great job and it will be enjoyable following along on your renovation journey. As a fellow thrifter with similar quirky taste I found every bit of this spectacular. Keep on truckin.

    1. Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof

      Girl. Anytime I watch shows like that or even old movies from the 60s and 70s, I’m always paying attention to the decor. There has been more than one occasion when I’ve paused the show or movie to take a picture of the TV screen because I saw some piece of decor I loved!

    I never thought I would say this, but you have single handedly made me want to put every piece of “farm house” antique stuff I own out at the curb and haul your butt to Chicago to help me “make over” my house! I want that dining room set….

    Jenna, you are one brave soul. You know what you like and you go for it in a big way. Love all of your color selections and prints, they speak of who you are. My home is more traditional and shabby chic but I can still appreciate your eclectic style.

    Jenna your house looks amazing! You have worked so hard & sourced some great pieces. It’s all so you! I am loving the couch, flooring, rugs, closet doors, bathroom vanity unit in fact everything. I laughed when I saw the “WTF” cushion. My daughters friend’s Dad says it all the time. Then they found out he thinks it means “Why that’s fantastic!!! ‘

      Thank you, Shirley!! My cousin actually asked me the other day what I would tell the circus when she learned her letters and asked what WTF meant. I told her Why, that’s fantastic! hahaha!!!!

    I’m LOVING the bold walls… Our house can’t quite pull them off because of the ornate historic molding, but it looks amazing with all your stuff! The calendar pages on the wall might be my favorite little touch… keeping my eyes out next time I hit the flea market. Good luck with the continued move… I’m impressed!

      Thanks, Charlotte!! I am digging how well the dark walls turned out as well! Those calendars were actually left behind by the previous owners in the garage – I couldn’t toss them!

    Jenna, everything is amazing. Now I see why it’s the 70’s pad. I have dibs on the living room light when you replace it. It’s all I am missing with my 70’s ‘stuff’ Has it been that long since I had major furniture purchases ??

    I’ve loved your dining room from Day 1 but your bedroom, don’t you adore all that extra space? And the LR … you scored some great vintage finds. I still need to paint my bookcases, I guess that’s the difference between 30 and 60. 😉 Thanks for sharing.
