I met my future husband in 1969 and the decor in his parents house was definitely '70s. The problem was...nothing ever changed...lol. His mother died in 2002 and his dad finally had to move to a retirement condo in April of 2007 and died 6 months later on his birthday at 88 years old. Their carpet was dark green, gold drapes in the living room and dining room, sofa and chairs were dark orange and when flipping the cushions they had a white background with big orange flowers with long green stems in a swirl pattern. That furniture went with him...you sat on the sofa or chairs and needed a crane to get you up...lol.
Through the '70s our homes had gold carpet, rust carpet and dark orange carpet. Sofa was country plaid...dark brown, light brown, rust and orange. One house had an avacado green refrigerator and the next it was coppertone. In '76 we bought a house that we really loved and at first it had the '70s look with dark paneling etc. but we finally got sick of it and remodeled and changed colors. Then in '95 we moved into our brand newly built dream house and no reminders of all of those dark brown, rust, orange and gold colors.
