My wife sent me this because it caught her eye as an example of mid century modern architecture. I got a added kick out of it.

It would look great in a display case next to other vintage EMPI collectables.

From the article linked above:
"Vittone made other changes to the home, including a ceiling mirror over the bed in the master bedroom. Dr. Samuel Wiltchik, who purchased the home from Vittone in 1988, made it clear the other day when I stopped by the house that he had nothing to do with the mirror."

Yeah, sure Sam. Oh the stories that mirror could tell ... Twisted Evil

I think it's funny that the new owner made it clear he didn't put the mirror up, yet he never took it down, either. Laughing

The whole house is like a bad 70's porn movie set, and then you get to this one bedroom:

Gotta dig the colored bulbs in the living room trac lights. I bet that's pretty groovy at night.
