I got a message on Facebook today from Urban Outfitters that they are having a Lo-Fi, High Style contest. They are asking UO fans to submit photos of how they use vintage electronics in the modern world. I thought to myself, "Wow, this contest is perfect for me!".

Ever since we moved into our 1950s split level home, we have been having so much fun decorating it with all of our retro cool stuff. But I'd say most of all I love my collection of vintage electronics. They are so beautiful in design as well as functional. They just don't make them like they used to. I bought a DVD player that broke in a week, yet my 40 year old Space Helmet TV still works!

If you love vintage electronics like we do, be sure to enter the sweepstakes at Urban Outfitters. You can win cool stuff like a Holgawood Camera and UO gift cards! Yowza!

We like to relax in the egg chair and talk on our vintage Ericofon. It has a rotary dial on the bottom. We listen to our collection of 8 tracks on our Panasonic TNT plunger 8 track player. My favorite 8 track is Rio by Duran Duran.

The JVC Videosphere space helmet shaped TV still works and is fun to watch while mixing up a Mai Tai
