Nev is right. And your mantle and trim is dated as well.
So long as it keeps you warm, I guess.
It ain't easy in a world without trousers. :sad:
There's no way that's his house or his fireplace though. :D
This came over my feeds a while ago.
It really reminded me with pretty much any post by backspit....

Backspin will tell you his fireplace has a remote control.
He won’t tell you he isn’t allowed to play with it! ;)
Listen to these clueless fucking doughheads :rofl:Quote:

Quite evidently it is YOU and the gaggle of fuckwits in this thread that don't know what the aesthetic of the 70's is.
Lets look at the other offerings with tacky and 70's in mind :chitown:

Call out my fireplace. That's not a problem. Call it boring, whitewashed or bland. Just please make an iota of fucking sense. Is that too much ? I pick the most contra 70's design of them all, and some retards call it nineteen seventies ! It just blows my fucking mind.Quote:

Notice something .... The one on the top is vintage 1970's and it is made over to the clean modern contra 70's look. Which is exactly what mine is.

I figured out what you're problem is. You see 70's fireplaces on the internet without realizing that the pics you seeing are ppl who have refaced and resurfaced their 70's fireplace you know........ to look like mine.Quote:

I haven't looked up 70s fires on the internet, skiddy. I don't need to. I was alive in the 1970s and I saw them with my own eyes. As MalmoMike said: "backlit fake coal fires". There is no coal. It's just a lamp with some plastic that is shaped and coloured to look like coal.
Let me make it simple for you.

Anyway skiddy, put up the make and model of your fire so we can check if it's a genuine retro or not.
:chitown:
OK. I've found the make and model.Quote:

Just a moment...
:rofl: I thought it was fairly self explanatory that I didn't install a wood burning fireplace in my bedroom. No only is it expensive and time consuming, it is also illegal. So if it wasn't a wood burning fireplace, it was probably either a gas or electric one which both involve imitation wood and flame. Todays modern fireplaces are controlled digitally and use LED and laser lights to make a stylistic and 3D fireplace without the hassle of open flame. Comparing one from the 1970's to 2023 is like comparing a computer from the 70's to one in 2023. Mine has flame speed controlQuote:

Fireplaces today are a huge industry and they aren't some fucking ode to the 70's . :smileylaughing:

I didn't say the mantle and trim were 70s numbnuts, I said they were "dated" as well. Circa early 90s imo. The fireplace with the orange faux log with hints of lava is definitely 70s.Quote:

A work colleague just came back from a week in Morocco and brought me back 1/2Kg of Harissa and 5g of saffron. How times have changed, in my youth it would have been 3ozs of rocky brown :)
All executive reports completed last Friday and uploaded into sharepoint. Enjoying time off until Jan 8th. :)
Happy Holidays.

Good time with the Thai baht at a very favorable conversion.
