[...] I’m not sure what made her think of me with these things – I am not exactly Retro Girl – but it was strangely serendipitous that she would find these books at roughly the same time that I was on vacation in Massachusetts discovering another priceless gem from the 1970’s. [...]

ow, ow my eyes! I have vague memories (and a few dishes, some horrifying curtains and harvest gold containers) of 1970s decor that need never see the light of day again. .-= See Elaine's latest blog post: Baking Makes Me Happy =-.

Holy cow, that last photo looks almost identical to my grandmother’s bathroom. ROFL

Good laugh, thanks for posting it

I’m not a fan of any kind of yellow. I give myself permission to continue that disdain, guiltfree, after seeing all the pureed squash yellow in those photos, ugh. It is the only color family I just cannot get into and since like beets are the only food I won’t eat, I think I’m entitled to not like one color family, so there.

Egads, those are the best anti drug PSA EVER, LOL.

Ooh! Those fabrics are painful! I can’t imagine living with decor like that… It was bad enough when I was a kid (in the 70′s) and my folks had decorated our living room in pumpkin orange with matte black accents, a burnt orange shag rug and a huge wrought iron light fixture. It was very Halloweeny and kind of scary. They’ve improved since then.

That truly IS some great entertainment. That red/white/blue living room gives me a stomach ache though! And that matchy-matchy closet is hilarious! You got yourself some good times right there. .-= See Nikki/WhiMSy love's latest blog post: Hanging Bedside Organizer =-.

I hear you sister! You know, my own sister has a countertop that color. With dark brown paneling, too.

There are some lines I won’t cross. For instance, brownish mushroom prints are off limits. You know the ones – they decorated kitchens for far too long. In fact, any brown 70s print is off limits. Where they found that brown is beyond me.
