The brown towels are useful for covering up the fact that you didn't wash yourself very well.<br />Bath #5 (Wallpaper. In a bathroom Bath): Can you hear that sound from The Future? It's the sound of the people who bought your house cursing you and your descendents for 12 generations for putting wallpaper in a bathroom.<br />Michelle_Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439762094411780951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-82858321371808552902015-01-13T10:47:54.537-06:002015-01-13T10:47:54.537-06:00In the 70s' defense I would enter as exhibit A...In the 70s' defense I would enter as exhibit A the interiors in Inherent Vice. But I understand the trauma, for I grew up then in a house my mom decorated with whatever Penney's had on clearance. She was on a tiny, tiny budget and she worked hard, but sometimes it made our eyes water and our heads swim. Then came the 80's and we got a wall of mirror tiles in the bathroom, before which stood a 200-gallon aquarium filled with goldfish, and a black-and-white checkerboard floor. The 80's have plenty to answer for too!Jim D.http://thousanddollarshop.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-23055662564980689982015-01-13T09:38:35.566-06:002015-01-13T09:38:35.566-06:00The Seventies will be called to account, but I pre...The Seventies will be called to account, but I predict that it will escape justice like a special needs child that murders his family. I think The Seventies will become a ward of the state, and other, more functional decades will be forced to pay for its care until it dies of natural causes in a puddle of drool and patchoulli oil.PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-11443655285645906922015-01-13T09:28:22.383-06:002015-01-13T09:28:22.383-06:00I lived through the miasma that was the 70s, but l...I lived through the miasma that was the 70s, but like everyone else I must not have been paying attention. In retrospect, I am appalled that the captains of design did not end up at The Hague for Crimes Against Humanity. The Victorians come in for it because of interior design that feels like a nightmare at a flea market, but like any reign of terror, everyone who lived in the 1970s will not admit to being involved in any way. Collective amnesia. Getting your hands on a wall paper samples book from the period is all the evidence you need. Hold on to your 70s interior design books, Phil, there may yet be trials!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217682611730185425noreply@blogger.com
