Mid-Century Decor is the Star of this 1968 Vintage Mobile Home
What is mid-century design exactly? According to an article in Decor-Aid, mid-century home decor is defined by a vibe that is fresh and poppy, retro-tinged, and completely alluring with its dedication to comfort and practicality wrapped up in a beautiful design that never goes out of style. Unlike other aesthetic movements, mid-century modern decor is streamlined in design, as form follows function while highlighting the materials used, rather than making them something they aren’t.
Mid-century design is super popular in smaller mobile homes because it takes advantage of smaller pieces of furniture and blends it with pops of color. And, there’s no better example of it than in this 1968 vintage mobile home!
The theme continues into the bedroom and bath of this hot single wide. Additions like a brightly covered accent wall, pops of color in the furniture, and wall hangings, all add to create a mid-century feel.

California Dreaming
Beautiful landscaping, a patio for entertaining, and great weather all combine for the perfect space. Not to mention, the exterior sets the scene for the this mid-century California dream.
There is so much we love about this 1968 vintage mobile home that is full of so much mid-century decor charm. And it’s so cool to see homeowners taking these older homes and adding designer touches to them. Older mobile homes can be a great source of housing, and it’s great that parks like Safari continue to keep them in their communities rather than replacing them with newer homes.

This particular home is 720 square feet. It’s harder to find a company to insure anything older than 1976 but there are companies that will do it.

I cannot see any photos–I’ve turned off ad blocker and modified any security settings I can see and still no photos. Any ideas?
