Mom chose red non-looped shag carpeting for the living room. Walking on it caused foot and dog prints. Whenever anyone was coming over, I had to spend an hour brushing it with our poodle's dog brush hoping not to get called out be Mom for missing a spot. I really hated that rug.
Our house, built in 1964, had two couches made of vinyl in avocado green and burnt orange. We had the macrame plant hangers, our kitchen counters were avocado, and my favorite floor lamp had springs to fit tightly against the ceiling. Divided in thirds, there were 3 big lights you could swivel. Hard to describe, but so cool. I wish I had it today. We had wooden floors and got carpet later, not shag. Phone was rotary dial. A teenager, I had a blue fur bedspread. Gosh, I sure miss those days when everyone I knew was happy.
I still have a rotary phone, tv trays, a record player and a harvest gold refrigerator from my grandparents. I even have a harvest gold electric can opener. I had a bean bag chair as a kid in the 80's. To be fair, I live in the 100+ year old farmhouse my grandma was born and raised in. Does anyone else remember shopping at places like Montgomery Wards?
I was a kid in the 70's. I had pink shag carpet in my bedroom. I did not have a bean bag chair, But, wanted one. We had wood paneling in our basement. My families home was built in 1976. In our old house we had a black rotary phone, and we had a party line. There were no beepers, no cell phones, and life was easier. I had a lava lamp, and black lights and black light posters were everything in my bedroom. We had an ugly yellow fridge and vinyl flooring. We did not have tv trays. Such great music in the 70's. I watched American Bandstand and Soul Train on Saturdays. My grandmother had a velvet pic of Elvis. Ohh the harvest earthy colors - yuck! We had a leather recliner in our basement, it was Dads! I'm 63 years old now. Life was good back in the 7o's. I remember everything you showed. I'd have to say the music in the 70's was awesome. Some of my best memories included music. I guess, my love of music has carried me thru my whole life, as I'm retired from years of working in rock and hip hop radio. Thanks for this video.
Love the 70s, bought my first house had long olive green shag carpet and an orange velvet 8' sofa. A large bean bag chair for each kid in the family. Roatery phones in cool colors to match each room. Life was good.
Mom finally got her kitchen redone in 1970. All avocado green appliances ! Wood cabinets . White Formica countertops with gold flecks ! It was her Dream
Married in ‘69. Three fondue pots also. The royal blue Lava Lamp was the worst. I hated that thing, but hubby liked it. I accidentally (lol) knocked it over vacuuming one day. It broke. 🤗
I was a kid during the 70’s but we had a white stove and fridge. We had gold carpets but not shag, a pinkish bathroom. But it was the best decade to grow up in.
I too married in 1974, a sunburst clock, murano ashtray and pearl handled cutlery, oh an nylon bedding, you could get sparks from the static. We has Mary Quant wallpaper in the kitchen in Orange, Shocking Pink in the Bathroom and Purple everything in the bedroom including the carpet. My husband had a huge vinyl collection and hated anyone handling his precious albums.
I remember all of these things. Some have made a comeback like Lava Lamps and throws. Some, thankfully have not. Thanks for this trip down memory lane. 😊
The black cat clock is something that I remember. And the color of the 70's, we had yellow in the kitchen and green in the bathroom and I had heavy certains in my room, I used to take and pull the certains around my bed and going to sleep. It was a good time to grow up in the 70's. I miss those days.
Yes,,Yes,, I had everything you showed!!! I still love it and greatly miss All,,All of!!! That was my life,,my time. I am 70 yr old,, married Aug 24,, 1973
I got seasick on my aunts waterbed, every time you moved or turned over, the whole thing swelled beneath you! But I loved sitting on my grandparents sofa watching the lava lamp. It really brought me peace and quiet! I have one now! 😊
I think through the late 60’s and 70’s my parents had most of these styles and items one time or another wood paneling on an accent wall chocolate brown kitchen appliances, we had all of it but the wall to wall shag carpet. My mother’s friend got hers first, and when mom seen how much work went into keeping it looking nice with the sweeping , carpet raking and shampoo was expensive and there were 4 children , She decided against it. We did have a couple shag throw rugs though. This bought me so many happy memories growing up. Thank you❤
Omg. And heaven forbid they broke open omg those little beads! They’d be everywhere, the original glitter lol they’d be rolling down the street for weeks lol
I was just a little girl back in the 70's and it was so much more prettier than this boring ole gray we have today. A little bit of gray is fine, but gray walls, gray furniture, grey wood flooring is too much. It reminds me of a jail cell, a dog pound, or a casket. De....pressing!! 😐😐😐 😂 I miss the 70's decor..I even loved the country look, I loved the red and black decor too. Remember when they had ceramic black bulls, the Spanish look? That was cool too in the 70's. I definitely remember the avocado green, orange, or yellow appliances, countertops in the kitchen, and telephones. I still love wicker furniture. 😊 Thank you for taking me down memories lane. I wish I would come back. 💚🧡💛🤎😊
Bean bags are still available. Wood Panels, Boho plant hangers, Wicker furniture, Leather Recliners, Avocado green, Harvest Yellow shades are preferred in Interiors even today. I Remember using Dial phones in STD Booths in India in Early 90's. We had a Polaroid camera.
I remember it. Still love it. Still own my grandma s fondue set and bright orange hairdryer and meatcutter. I love the 70 s colors. I love my lavalamp and raying clock. Still have a panneled bathroom and popcorn sealing craftroom I remember my grandfathers LP collection and wooden boxed player Grate video
Dad bought a beautiful big house in the country just before I was born. It had to be big because I had 3 older half sibs and can only imagine how excited everyone must have been. I remember we had linoleum at first and then we had carved wool carpet in green of course 😅. Eventually the whole upstairs had shag carpet with each room a different color and was still in fair shape when the folks passed on. Good times.
Though I was born in the early 1980s, many of these things still lingered on past the 70s, so I actually have memories of most of them. I don't remember velvet paintings though.
Hi there loved your video I still live in the 60s and 70s thay wear the best years and I still have a lot of my things now like my phones I have one in cream and one in black and I have a really big leather suit in brown recliner chair and sofa what can I say. I really loved them years wish it was now. Because today no one talks to eny one like thay used to 😢
@@carolgriffin8950 no one does talk like they use to-it’s all text messages and acronyms that you can’t understand until you think about what it may be saying.
We had all of those things back then, it is nice to see that remembrance of them. It takes me way back to my childhood when all those items in our homes were so enjoyable. Some of those things you can still get today.
I remember my mother, me, and our three cats all piling into her king-sized heated waterbed to keep warm on those cold winter nights! There is nothing as good as a heated bed.
So Spot On! What a Beautiful Trip down memory lane!!! I either owned every item or had a best friend who did!!! I was smiling the whole time! I used to love the feel of the dial phone give slight resistance around my finger tips as I dialed numbers or grab a pencil to dial on days I had a manicure! lol! Back then I was so excited when my brother bought me a waterbed! Now I would never buy one again! My boss was mad at me when I was late for work because my bed sprung a large leak and I was on the third floor of an apartment and had to fix that leak! Went through a lot of towels and buckets! lol!😂 WHAT FUN DAYS! Thanks for the video!😀
Ha! These things still exist in homes! My house in 2024 (built'78-'81) still has popcorn ceilings, shag carpeting in two rooms and when I moved in, it had Harvest Gold stove and side by side refrigerator. I got a Harvest Gold laundry set and the dryer is still here. I have many items purchased from Montgomery Wards still around. In the 89s my boyfriend and I had an apartment that was probably built in the '60s and not refurnished since. It had two tone green shag carpeting and avocado green kitchen countertops and gold glass hanging lifts with chains. We had a waterbed too. Where I grew up in '60s-70s, my parent's last house had a garage that had been turned into a living room... With wood paneling walls. And we had outdoor carpeting in the bathroom. Its a bit better than regular carpeting because but had foam rubber backing and could be cleaned outside with suds and water and completely dried. We had Macrame plant holders with spider plants, a black Nagahyde sofa, yellow rotary phone in the kitchen, and our medicine cabinet had a razor drop in the back of it. 😊
A black rotary phone, the wooden coffee table shown in your pic, the gold colored sunburst clock, TV trays, an avocado fondue set, a waterbed, the brown leather recliner were all found in my parent's home.
In my country NZ..it was WALLPAPER..posters,,Bruce Lee, Star Wars, David Bowie, All Blacks, Desiderata, Bean Bags, Lava Lamps, i could go on and the cork tiles,pot plants everywhere..❤this video TY so much😢😊
I was born in 99, but seeing this made me realize my childhood home had a lot of these elements (popcorn ceiling, green sink, yellow trash can- built into the wall/cabinets and could crush the trash!! It didn’t work, but so cool!!) and also made me realize my grandmother was stuck in the 70’s cause her house looked just like this alll the way till 2010! lol! Shag carpeting and all
In the 70s we rented a house thats kitchen had a brown refrigerator, a harvest gold stove, avocado green oven, and luckily a white washer and dryer! All of them in the tiniest kitchen!
We had red shag carpet in our family room. Wood paneling or barn board was a biggie in the rec rooms. Avocado green and harvest gold appliances ... there was a brown set as well. I still love wicker. Remember having a wicker headboard in the guest room.
Wallpaper was very popular in those days. In our kitchen, on 1 wall we had a print of kitchen things: pots, pans, kettles bowls etc., green and orange.
Wood paneling. My first home( at age 21j that my husband and I bought was considered cool and very modern.. That coupled with an accent wall of a forest scene. My mother gifted us a washer and dryer that was avocado green. We had a water bed as well. We were so cool!
Yeah! And I bet that you had that washer and dryer FOREVER LOL. I had mine for at LEAST 30 years and gave it to my daughter. We had a water bed too, it totally sucked😂
Mom was a Contac paper pro. I really liked the brady boys grey panelling in their bedroom but because we didnt own at the time, she did my room in the grey panel contac paper. Looked beautiful.
We had a touch tone phone in 1970 because Jonesboro, AR was a test city. I still have most of my records. I had to search to find the needle for the phonograph. It still takes me back with the pops and clicks.
I bought an Avocado Refrigerator, electric range top, and double ovens in 1972 to get rid of the old gold appliances in CA. I kept that refrigerator for thirty years. Now, they go out in about seven years.
Had relatives who decorated their whole house from craft fairs. The list of things they had typical of the 70's could go into the hundreds; from dolls with dried apple faces to Keene painting knock offs.
I have most of them in 2024. Paneling brown, orange and yellow flooring from the 70’s , bean bag chair. And a Bart Simpson rotary phone. Still have a record player in a suitcase. Not from the 70’s an iron key that opens one of my doors.
shag pile? matt burn they meant.it was tongue in cheek for a teenagers first experience i think.i was a seventies teenager born in 1958.loved the era.best music and fashions i think from levis to loon pants to oxford bags fred perry and ben sherman doc martins loafers brogues and crombie coats.nearly forgot flourescent socks(not the best memory🤣)
One word comes to mind and it's TACKY. Also, water beds were terrible, they sucked all the warmth out of your body and wreaked your back, and that annoying sloshing! I don't miss any of it.
@moonectar Thanks for yours allowance. I never could to opportunity to try water bed but can imagine would to be on those: they be able should drain all warmth from my body. Now I can tell I was right. I remember what has saying Columbo (some sort of): It was quite an experience. LOL.
Everything is Impersonal these days even the Myriad of people playing on their cell phones when they come over to visit, and everywhere else! We used to talk a lot. Social media has seriously wrecked everything. What a hypocrite; I play on my cell phone in waiting rooms! I just don’t play with it anywhere else. If someone comes over and starts playing on their phone, I feel like taking it and throwing it as hard as I can across the room! Now that is disrespectful! Come over to visit! Play with your phone at home! … Is everything really in black and gray??? I’m grateful I can’t see it! Nor the used Needles that are now litteried around everywhere! Also most people I knew in the 70s had yellow kitchens. They used to brag about them. That’s how I know.
It’s still feels like my childhood plus my early marriage and babies. Silver Cross Prams with a sun canopy to protect the baby not forgetting the cat net while everyone else thought it was a fly net. We also got a trim phone when we got married. I had a sunflower clock on my wall which was set against the most garish wallpaper. We had several lava lamps.
Fabulous! No iPhones. Heaven.
Ma ne stai usando uno...

People dressed so much better then and had manners.

Rabbit fur coats were a luxury
Dad bought a beautiful big house in the country just before I was born. It had to be big because I had 3 older half sibs and can only imagine how excited everyone must have been.

No cell phones, phone books not Google. It was a better world.

Ah, the days when there was only one phone in the house and it was an event to make or receive a call from somebody.
You had to pay extra each month to rent a touch tone phone or a sleek princess phone.
Those were the good days. I had all this stuff even wood panel walls. Wish l could go back and stay there! Wow that was a good life💯💯💕
Oh, the Oster Kitchen Center. My husband got me one for Christmas in 1983. It was the pride of my kitchen.
In my country NZ..it was WALLPAPER..posters,,Bruce Lee, Star Wars, David Bowie, All Blacks, Desiderata, Bean Bags, Lava Lamps, i could go on and the cork tiles,pot plants everywhere..❤this video TY so much😢😊
I had a Bruce Lee poster from Enter The Dragon, the one, and my mother was horrified! I’ll give her credit, she didn’t tell me to take it down lol

Had relatives who decorated their whole house from craft fairs. The list of things they had typical of the 70's could go into the hundreds; from dolls with dried apple faces to Keene painting knock offs.
We had a long cord on the rotary phone, could even go outside on the porch with it.
I have most of them in 2024. Paneling brown, orange and yellow flooring from the 70’s , bean bag chair. And a Bart Simpson rotary phone. Still have a record player in a suitcase. Not from the 70’s an iron key that opens one of my doors.
Thanks for sharing
Everything!

Yes it was atrocious, but it still looks like home after all these years.
In my bedroom I had purple half shack carpet I was just a kid in 1972 age 14
Acquisitiveness…wherare these now?
@@cowpuddles4851 Yep. I’d go back to those “ugly house” days in one freaking second. And stay forever. Even if I had to be in high school forever 😂
One word comes to mind and it's TACKY. Also, water beds were terrible, they sucked all the warmth out of your body and wreaked your back, and that annoying sloshing! I don't miss any of it.
@moonectar Thanks for yours allowance. I never could to opportunity to try water bed but can imagine would to be on those: they be able should drain all warmth from my body. Now I can tell I was right. I remember what has saying Columbo (some sort of): It was quite an experience. LOL.
We ate our TV dinners on the TV trays.
I don't really like orange and avocado green and brown, but nowadays everything is black and grey like being in a funeral house. I like colors.
Everything is Impersonal these days even the Myriad of people playing on their cell phones when they come over to visit, and everywhere else! We used to talk a lot. Social media has seriously wrecked everything. What a hypocrite; I play on my cell phone in waiting rooms! I just don’t play with it anywhere else. If someone comes over and starts playing on their phone, I feel like taking it and throwing it as hard as I can across the room! Now that is disrespectful! Come over to visit! Play with your phone at home! … Is everything really in black and gray??? I’m grateful I can’t see it! Nor the used Needles that are now litteried around everywhere! Also most people I knew in the 70s had yellow kitchens. They used to brag about them. That’s how I know.
Shagadelic!!!! I loved those lava lamps. How about the Dynomite 8-track tape players with the plunger, and black light posters?
I remember all of it.
No shag carpet, coloured appliances or panneling in my home....I guess I was hard done by and didn't know it😂🤣
What about fiber optic lamps, pole lamps with a built in table, and console tvs?
My mother had fiber optic lamps. Think I have one, too - somewhere.
It’s still feels like my childhood plus my early marriage and babies. Silver Cross Prams with a sun canopy to protect the baby not forgetting the cat net while everyone else thought it was a fly net. We also got a trim phone when we got married. I had a sunflower clock on my wall which was set against the most garish wallpaper. We had several lava lamps.
I remember the old indoor outdoor carpets.
My brother put brown shag carpeting all through the interior of his van...groovy.
My first sport jacket was burnt orange. Worse than that, it was double-breasted. I wore it on TV for an episode of High School Bowl. We lost.
