A better question is, what fashions, hairstyles, ect. wouldn't be gaudy looking from the '70s. ;D

BTW, that is my sister & she will have my head if she knew that I posted this pic so don't tell her, ok? Also, that is our dog Pseudolus sitting in the window (Hysterium was the other dog-for those of you who do not know, we got their names from the play A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.)

This reminds me of my sister's kitchen (the same sister who is in the above pic). Her Significant Other bought the house from my uncle. So, the whole house decor was basically my aunt's taste-which was the '70s gaudy look with lots of golds, oranges, etc. My sister & her S.O. has been redoing everything but it is taking a while. There is an argument going on: S.O. wants to do the house up the way it was originally, (BEFORE my aunt & uncle moved in) and my sister doesn't.

I wish I could show you some pics but I think my sister would REALLY have my head if I did.

No offense, but  8-P  Even that scale is hideous looking (lol). And I would never have carpet in the bathroom.

We used to have a scale like that one.
Flowers...
My sister used to put flowers (like that, decals though) in the hallways.

This design looks SOOOO familiar to me but I can't place what had it. I know it wasn't a scale but something we had, had that design on it.

It was common at the time. Could it have been wallpaper? Sofa? Drapes? Bedsheets?

That was the early 70s, even very late 60s.


Here's the Brady Bunch girls bedroom. Flower wallpaper and matching bedsheets. Similar design, different color.

I'm think a box. The funny thing is, one of the auctions we went to, there was a lot that came in a box-that had a floral design on it. We actually won the lot with that box which is now in our inventory room. Anyway, my mother would get a whole bunch of boxes like that that she used for Christmas decorations, her knitting/crocheting projects, etc. So, it may just be one of those. Though, it could be something else.
