That wallpaper hurts my eyes.
I love the detail of the nurse photo on the table, that is totally HER in another few years!
Radio

"Big sister" is standing next to a General Electric console radio that is similar to this GE E-68-2 model; note the difference in the number of front-panel knobs: 3 vs. 5. Following General Electric's model numbering scheme prior to WW II, "E" models were built in 1936.

I got excited when I saw the name of this since I am a big ABBA fan! Then I saw the dress ... And realized they would have TOTALLY worn it!
