bathroom before photo from Margaret Oscilia

 

Worthington Hills is a popular neighborhood in northern Franklin County. The homes built around the Worthington Hills golf course and the Worthington Hills County Club are sometimes dated.  Other homes have been updated a time or two.... you just never know until you look at a home...

A buyer inquiring about a home used the phrase "Time Warp" on a call.  The agent in my office shared the story telling us about the property...

Time warp from Wikipedia:

"sometimes refer to Einstein's theory that time and space form a continuum which bends, folds or warps from the observer's point of view, relative to such factors as movement or gravitation, but are also used in reference to more fantastic notions of discontinuities or other irregularities in spacetime not based on real-world science."

I have never been a science fiction fan... personally. It amazes me I could follow the TV show 'LOST'  but I have kept up, admirably for the most part... last season Sawyer and Juliette were in the 1970's... one of these could be the bathroom in their home couldn't it? 

The colorful bathrooms here can see bigger in the original post: Suffering from a Colorful Past remember these bathroom photos from Margaret Oscilia of Creative Concepts and Contracting, Salem Oregon are NOT in Worthington Hills.  These colorful room are out in Portland Oregon.

But they could be in almost any 1970's Central Ohio neighborhood, couldn't they?  bathroom before photo from Margaret Oscilia

I have a certain nolstalgia for the 1960's and 1970's so it is hard for me to condemn flocked wallpaper, shag carpet that has been there since the home was built but vacuumed religiously, blue counter tops, metalic wallpaper, olive green bathroom fixtures.. kitchen cabinets with hinges hanging out for all to see...

Again no homes in Worthington Hills were harmed for this post.  Those bathrooms are in Portland Oregon.  The photos are the property of Margaret Oscilia and have been used with permission.  I understand Margaret will be posting "after" photos on her staging blog of how the baths turn out when they are less colorful. 

Staging a home to sell it, sometimes you have to remove color or replace perfectly good but dated appliances.

In a separate report at a Tuesday sales meeting a harvest gold range was reported in the Worthington Woods area (City of Columbus, Worthington School Disctrict, much lower price range) buyers should use caution when approaching but be aware the  seller has been apprised of the dangers of oudated applianes and is willing to replace the range with something that their buyer deems more acceptable....

Stay tuned a black hole may have developed in northeast Columbus.  Someone please remind me again what a black hole is?

I think I have seen the lovely paper at the top as shelf paper in an estate....from the school of "if it was good enough in 1950 something...no need to change it now !"

I am sure the wallpaper is not from the 1950's.  I am sure the house was not even  built in 1950 Sally, unless the vanity and the fixtures were changed out in the 60's or 70's.  That's wallpaper from the very late 60's or the 70's I believe....
