Recently I came across these rooms – could they be real?
I’m all for a bit of color but…

Are your eyes hurting yet?
Imagine living in homes like these – or maybe you did – maybe you grew up in one just like this during the 70’s – I feel for you!

LOL – the blurb with this image on flickr says that this is “a good example of how you can create an illusion of spaciousness, even in a small or average size apartment bedroom. Using one color throughout gives an expansive feeling.”
Expansive is not the feeling I’m getting!

“The ceiling too” – is all I can say.
And just incase you are tired of pink and red – I found yellow as well.

Metallic is a hot look just now but somehow I don’t think this will ever be chic again (it won’t will it!).

A splash of Green would be fun too?

And in case you are finding all this color too much – here is some beige. I mean BEIGE can’t be that bad – can it.

And oh oh oh – I don’t know what to say but “look at the stairs” – I’ve never seen shag like that before (and nor do I want to again).
Well my eyes are way too tired to bring you any more decor from the 1970’s but if you want to see some more take a look at the 1970 House Lovers Group in Flickr – but be warned you’ll induce at best a headache – I think I need a lie down.
And let’s pledge NOT to bring back the 70’s.
