Some kid had crumbled up uncooked spaghetti into tiny pieces and left it all over that carpet. Of course, it sank down into it and was a real pain to deal with. Our clunky old Kirby upright vacs were a joke in the best of situations -- and useless in this one. I had to get down on my hands and knees and pick up as much of that crumbled uncooked spaghetti as I could, and some of those pieces were so tiny, they were almost powder.

Grea postt! Sixteen years ago I bought my house - built in 1970 out in the country and nothing changed since then and everything still in place. Shag carpets, walnut veneer walls, carpeted bathroom. A complete time warp museum. I was in love with the burnt-avocado kitchen appliances as I felt I was 16 again. But after a few months as winter approached they all just died. So I went to Sears and bought new ones. Then I got a bill from Maritime Electric after the first month with new everything, including washer and dryer. $65 dollars cheaper than any of the previous months. I got a heat pump and got rid of the oil burning furnace. The bill dropped by another $35 dollars. Then, I had all the old slider windows ripped out and modern thermal ones installed. Well, that lowered the bill even more.

The conversation pits -- where folks actually sat and talked with one another, before the age of cell phones and constant texting. A warmer, happier and more vibrant period. BTW -- with today's fancy-smancy technologies, one would think that colored toilet paper WITHOUT the objectionable chemicals could be produced while still achieving those lovely decorator colors. So, why not? Surely, this can't be difficult to figure out. There must be other dyes that are safer while still offering the same range of vivid color choices we had in the 70s. What I miss most about the 70s are: My youth and my husband's youth, our larger families with more loved ones still alive, the first-hand creation of truly beautiful artworks and crafts AND the appreciation of same. And, gorgeous colors in nearly every room, especially the kitchens. Today's stainless steel kitchens look more like they belong inside of industrial plants than inside of our homes. I'd love to see those warm colors returning -- the harvest golds, avocado greens, burnt oranges, chocolate browns -- PLUS, appliances and fixtures of the 1970s were made from better quality materials and better quality workmanship. They were built to last, and many of them did.

Yup and they were big enough to be pig troughs....usually done by someone who did ceramics as a hobby and given as gift to friends and family who didn't

I still have my Regal avocado green crock pot! What, no mention of waterbeds? 7:38 I was talking about coloured toilet paper just the other day with a friend and I also can remember the pay toilets in public rest rooms. So glad those are a thing of the past!

Ohhhhh good Lord, my worst nightmares brought back from my childhood!

I love the 70s. Best times of my life, my husband and I were young, happy and in love. These pictures swell my heart with happiness.

My father was ahead of his time and had component stereo system by 1970. Nothing too expensive. It lasted a long long time. I used it to death! Great music memories. Back then you really carefully listened to each track on an LP. It was never the same with digital.

We had the outdoor scenes on the walls, spoons on the walls and a green and orange kitchen. And a big ole console TV

We had all midnight bronze kitchen appliances after the kitchen remodel. Looking back, it was really ugly, but on trend. The electric stove and fridge lasted well over 30 years.

Born 1953 my parents' designs were so much fun.

Thanks for the flashback!

The Partridge Family, with David Cassidy is the best musical comedy show of all-time!!!! 1970-1974! I watch it everyday, now!!!!! David Cassidy, and Morten Harket, from a-ha, in 1985 and on, are the most beautiful men to ever be, and incredibly talented, too!! What gorgeous singers!!! Listen to them, everyday, also!!! So wish I had a Time Machine!!!

Most of those rooms you showed were the ones I dreamed about in magazines. The homes I lived in were way more modest. My mother did however have furry zebra print wallpaper on one wall in her bedroom. And of course, shag carpet abounded everywhere.

Can't help but feel that I'm glad that I lived in more modest homes than these! Think the ones shown are hideous. Yep; I was in my teens to twenties in '70s and guilty of having a lot of '70s stuff back then, but this stuff takes it to a level of hideous the likes I've never seen!

I made a macrame belt back in the seventies. Wish I kept it.

Oh my gosh the clocks with matching sconces, yes!

Component systems were all the rage in the 70's. Mine was a Sansui system with massive tooth rattling bass speakers. Forgot Bean Bag chairs and their inflatable cousins. Lava Lamps, Disco Balls and Fiber Optic lights too.

Yes most of us lived in modest homes, but we still had the organ in my house, the macrame decor, and olive wall to wall carpet. And bead curtains. And day glo posters in the kids' rooms. Great videos. New subscriber. 🎉🎉🎉

I remember my sister getting a black light and it brought hours of entertainment! LOL!

Some of these are extreme examples, though - probably taken from magazine pictures. I was never in any home that looked like some of these more crazy examples.

We had a Packard/Bell stereo-TV, console, had a b/w TV in it. My parents bought it in the early 60s. Mid 70s, the TV went out, dad went and got a new, color TV, took out the old b/w TV, and put the new color in its place. He did this because the stereo/turntable, still worked just fine.

The 1970’s certainly were a colorful and optimistic time ❤🇺🇸

We had a macrame plant holder on the porch. The squirrel would come and comb out the fuzzy bottom for it's nest. Cutest thing 😆

I am almost 55 and some of these homes look like mine lol. I like the part when you said, raking the shag carpet well done.

I was born in '73 and remember some of these inventions. I always thought that the 1970s were awnsome and outlandish. Fun but over the top.

LO VE THE 70's !

I was born in 1962 and we had most of these. My mom chose a very pretty aqua carpet for our living room and hall that was 2 inch shag. Raking it perfectly as I backed out of the room made my little OCD heart happy. Until my brothers had the nerve to walk on it - ha! And let me just say that when one of those brothers didn't make it to the bathroom in time and threw up in that carpet just outside my bedroom, well, it wasn't pretty. We had two of those console television sets, a console stereo, and an organ. In fact, my mom still has the organ. And yes, we had carpet in the bathrooms.

I bought a house with carpeted bathrooms. First thing I tore up when I moved in omg yuck...

In the late 70s I purchased a Technics Amp, turntable and built my own custom speakers with Acoustic Research speaker components. Good times.

You showed the Macrame Owl!! Loved it! My oldest brother one year, in Art Class, they had to make something from Macrame. I guess he got Bold and decided on doing the LION. It was like a Chocolate color Brown. When he finished it at school and brought it home. That thing hung on a Dark Brown Paneled wall in our Den, over our Oriental design couch for years. He actually did a good job on it and I do believe he got an "A" on the project. I miss the "70s", THE GOOD OL DAYS!!

Have a lot of this still. We have three macramé hanging tables with smoked glass with a pot holder and light. We had the shag carpet with the rake. Each room a different color and some multi colors. Stair steps were open with the shag wrapping all the way around each step. My aunt and uncle lived in Mesa Az and they had a conversation pit facing a fireplace. The house was built in 1969 so they were ahead of the game.

My neighbourhood was built early 70s and many sunken living rooms. I love that look!

“Curtis Mathes” Desaturated colors. Fondue sets. Big Wheels. Polyester - everything. Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific. And a fortunate freeing of tv from the old, dirty, decrepit scenes of New York cop shows to fresh places like L.A., Minneapolis, Chicago, and Cincinnati.

LOVE THE FIRST CHARTREUSE HOME!!!

I saw many of these trends on TV but our home was not so cutting edge. It was still a wonderful stroll down memory lane. 🙏

My cousins lived in a new-build in Denver, Colorado, in the 70s. The kitchen had brown cabinets and the appliances, the dishwasher, fridge etc were also a matching shade of brown. It was deeply depressing in retrospect, but they loved it at the time.

The conversation pits back in the day when people came over to visit and see you and not need anything nor stab you in the back after they used you up. No cell phones no internet just people talking to each other I sure miss those days.

I think this is more the late 60s, maybe the early 70s. I was there, lots of happy memories.

Most people didn't live like that, our home built in 1960 was about 1,100 sq. ft. My grandparents has a big house designed by my grandfather, In the country. It was remolded in 1964 and had a huge living room, with a focal;l fireplace, Large organ, Piano, 5 chairs, Couch, Large TV, 4 end tables, and many lamps. 13 people lived in the house.

That’s quite a living room 😮

Don't forget how well made the appliances of the homes in the 70s were. In 2017 I went to my girlfriend's grandparents' house for Thanksgiving, and they still had the same oven and refrigerator from 1973.

Wow! This really took me back. You did such a great job of compiling lots of 70s stuff! Some of the things I had forgotten, but you didn’t! Thanks for the memories. 😊

Enjoyed the video, but the console stereos, and a few other things shown, such as the last three clock and sconce sets, are definitely from the early to mid 60s. Of course people still had them in the 70s because they were only about ten years old, but they really do not belong in a video about 70s design. And, I will add, my parents bought a component stereo system in 1972. This comment might be nitpicky, but it seems to me that if one is going to the trouble of making a video, they should do their homework.

I missed the colored TP. YIKES!

I like the song in living room or the pit where you sat around and talked but that's a great thing that should have kept going

I learned to walk on shag carpeting in 1974, The stairway to the wood-paneled basement had wall to wall shag carpeting. When I was older, I used to pile the cushions from the couches at the bottom of the stairway and leap down from the top.

Paneling was all the rage in the 60s and 70s. The console which you touched on here, but I remember them having everything. A color TV, stereo, record player, tape deck all in one unit. By the mid 70s they were on the way out. Clear plastic covering on furniture was big in the late 60s all through the 70s. Glad to see that go. Of course before cable, everyone had a big TV antenna on their roof to pick up broadcast TV. Most people don't realize, but before the 1980s, most people only received a handful of TV stations. If you were lucky, you got maybe 5 or 6 channels on the big color console in your living room. It was still a great time to be alive!

The wall clock and green candle story omg too funny😂 I love this channel. Your commentary is top-notch! ❤😊

I appreciate you bringing me back to the good days. Lots of great memories.

Wow! A real travel in time! I love it❤

i loved my Grandmothers orange striped wallpaper. it was so happy

I still have the turntable/radio combo console my father purchased in the early 1960's. The turntable still works. I also use it as a sofa table (behind the sofa.) It is walnut, my favorite wood for furniture. A classic piece and really nice.

My BF from school had a kick ass basement. Completely redone. Bar, dance floor w/jukebox. Full kitchen & real arcade video games. Asteroids & PacMan

My folks didn't go for shag carpeting, but my sister and I were allowed to buy some boxed pink shag carpet tiles and do our bedroom floor with them. It was cheap and easy to do. That would have been late 60s/early 70s. (Bummer to not be able to find your earring backs, though). Mom didn't care for anything more modern like you showed. She stayed with Early American decor for years and was somewhat of a wallpaper nut (even in the bathroom, of all places. Dad actually agreed to remove the shower head). Can't remember when Dad bought a nice stereo/FM-AM/record player console, and we all got a lot from that. He let me join the Columbia House record club and conned me into getting him his Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison albums, so like it or not, we had to listen to them, lol. I had my babysitting/house cleaning pocket money as a teen, and he actually did help me out, lol. Thanks for the memories!
