Old fashioned items in your house?

[jennymanara]

I have realised from another thread that I have lots of old fashioned items in my house. These include -

net curtains
curtains
a nest of tables
a landline
a magazine/newspaper rack
a dining table and chairs

What about you?

Are net curtains old fashioned? I have them.

I have a guard on my fireplace. Have to have it or the cats like to explore the chimney.

We have /use a pantry!!

A fireside companion set
A video player
A turntable
A clock radio
A landline
Books

I have a pantry as well
Records and turntable
DVDs
CDs and CD player

Are books really old fashioned?

Bakelite door knobs.

A nest of tables and dinning table and chairs are old fashioned??? How exactly?
I have both and I'm mid twenties with a fairly modern house by most standards.
How strange

A calendar on the wall.
A clock on the wall.
A landline phone (almost always unplugged. Only my mum rings it, after texting me about it first).
A TV set with in-built DVD player, but no Sky box, firestick, streaming services, etc.
A gas cooker (hob and oven).
Bars of soap.
A few DVDs.
A Walkman.
A few cassette tapes.
A digital camera, that's about 10 years old.
A few non-digital wrist watches.

Books
A landline
Sloe Gin
Laptops

What is a fireside companion set and a cornice brush? I'm 41 and I've never heard of these.

When did gas cookers become old-fashioned?

• landline
• library
• DVD player
• cellar
• jam pan
• feather duster
• lambs wool cane duster
• piano
• umbrella stand
• lots of old 'brown furniture'
• meat hooks
• laundry
• shutters

I have actual videos! Cassette tapes, LP's (but I have a modern turntable for them) A 1950's oak telephone table (the printer lives on it) A corner cupboard with an old fashioned tea set and entertaining crockery, oh and DH's nan's china cabinet.

A peacock chair
A radio/cassette/cd player
Wooden comode. That's my DP's find and it's in the living room

husband! :)

I have quite a lot of old fashioned things because the house is old and modern just wouldn't look right

Too many - most of our things probably but not sure it’s old fashioned or just not bowing to trends.

Fish kettle - no other way with a whole fish.
Cloth napkins
Landlines. We would anyway but no mobile reception here.
Curtains definitely- how do you make rooms cosy otherwise?
Grandfather clocks
Aga but it’s programmable so quite modern really.
Canteen of cutlery for entertaining.
Decanters
Sloe gin isn’t old fashioned.
A pantry.
A wine fridge
Bars of soap definitely
A preserving pan.
Storm lanterns outside.
My husband
Trifle bowls

Apart from me and husband :-), I have:

a bureau that belonged to husband's grandmother
a landline
my dining table and wall unit are from late 1970s, beautifully made of rosewood but looks old fashioned now, not that I care
two cats, mother and daughter, aged 19 and 18.

A dining table and chairs are old fashioned?Where do people eat if they don’t have a table?

Sorry but loads of these things are essentials. Curtains and books! Who doesn’t have those?! And surely fireside companion sets are soaring in popularity as more people install log burners.

Proper ticky clocks plus dining table, land-line, vinyl, books and clock radio.
I also have a little analogue radio in the kitchen tuned to Radio 4.

No! I forgot, the mother cat died a couple of months ago. Shows she is still with us in many ways.

Her daughter is very much alive (and I do have another cat, a male, who is about eleven and not fashioned).

Oh and a small TV.

I have a companion set as i have a real fire to clean out. Not a modern, silly looking fake fire you switch on and get nothing out of it.

Dining table as we like to sit as a family.

Also alarm clock
clocks on walls
bone china for guests
wooden canteen of silver cutlery for guests
decanters
2 lava lamps

Video player and videos
Stag bedside cabinets
Turn dial telephone
Bookcases filled with books
Writing paper and matching envelopes
Glass perfume atomisers

Forgot:

• decanters, silver and silver (sadly inherited)
• linen napkins and tablecloths
• shoe trees
• starch spray
• beeswax furniture polish
• shower caps
• video player
• pocket watch
• tinned fruit

On reflection we're definitely old before our time
