Fun Look Back at the Upholstered Couch

When going through thousands of old photos, one thing stood out...the couch always seemed to be the center of family and friend gatherings. So I thought it would be fun to look at it's many "looks".
This picture below is from the 50's or early 60's...not sure...Oma and a friend having a fun laugh on what I think was the original upholstery on the couch. Also notice that is the same coffee table we are using in front of it today!

 Next is the 60's...this is the couch in it's newly upholstered gold pattern. Oma, her mother, and her brother.

 Below is a few years later with my mother, her grandmother, her aunt and cousin. Something was really exciting just off camera apparently.

 Now we have moved to the 70's (why were all of the pictures orange then?). A Christmas where mom looks thrilled to receive a fishing rod...and Opa trying hard not to put in his two cents I assume. What is also funny about this pic: The lamp and side table...the same ones we are using with the couch today. Ha!

 We have now entered the 80's...that's me playing in front of the couch in it's new floral upholstery. Aren't those throw pillows fabulous? Ha.

 More of the 80's, but this time it's my brother...it's like you weren't part of the family until you had your picture taken in front of the couch or something.

 More 80's...but this is another picture of...yes...the same lamp and side table!

 And now we are into the 90's, in the current house. The previous pics were all from their house in Jackson, MS. This is once again a Christmas gathering...my brother, mom, her cousin, my aunt, my cousin (who's bridal shower you might have seen here), and me.

 So this is where she sits today...I can't wait to see the next round of pictures that come from her latest incarnation!

 We will just have to wait and see...
