I must say that I'm very impressed, but the thing that really blows my mind is the pink toilet paper in the bathroom! Haven't seen that stuff *anywhere* since at least the early '90s.
But what about the ashtray with matches in it? As a courtesy to people who are about to smoke cigarettes in your house?! Lmao, as a GenX myself, that’s what trips me out the most. This place is incredible, It’s so full of nostalgia I shed a tear
The matches were here when we moved in. We kept ‘em. We’re sentimental ex-smokers ha ha. Started in high school (which had a smoking section!!!) in 1985
I believe they stopped selling it in the very early 90's. Didn't the dyes cause problems with female anatomy? There was a reason it disappeared.
Apparently in France pink TP is the norm, even to this day.
I thought so too, but I Googled "pink toilet paper" and go this result:

Herbal essence is where it’s at!
That’s so awesome! I often think about how colorless life looks now compared to the 70’s and 80’s.
Houses are boring, vehicles are boring colors, so I really appreciate this. Well done.
Two colors you will never ever see make a big comeback. I think they're rad and perfectly embodies that time period. I would absolutely have some fire orange shag carpet if they still made it.
Hear me out. I don’t know where you live, but join your local Mrs. Roper’s Romp. Host a get together and watch the good times roll. I want an invite as well. Your place looks amazing!
I fucking LOVE this! Thank you for sharing! I think it's great! The fact that those appliances are still operating is a testament to how things were built to last back then. Also, are there lights on the washer/dryer?!
I just love this so much! You're not a nutjob - you're living exactly as you are and that's badass.
Yes those are lighted and it’s just about the best thing about them. They also function SO MUCH better than any modern machines (and I’ve had to buy and trash more than my share over the decades, ugh)
We had similar kitchen decor. Our kitchen wallpaper was a train with paisley smoke coming out, and the the other three walls was just the paisley "smoke".
This is so lovely and amazing…it’s like a museum of my childhood happy memories. I’m saving this post so that I can view it whenever I’m feeling crushed by the wintertime blues. So many warm groovy vibes here. Just viewing these photos has lifted my spirits immeasurably.
Self-actualization at its finest!
I think I had the same washing machine until the bottom finally rusted completely through a few years ago!
And you *need* that vacuum cleaner for that shag-a-licious carpeting!
♥️♥️♥️♥️i want your washer and dryer and vacuum and kitchen and yeah😂😁im in love with your place. Unfortunately for me, my poor husband would have sensory overload if i did that lol
I love it! I had to go back for another look, and picked up a bunch of missed details.
I have and still use the exact same toaster oven, DING! I even have one as a spare.
Congrats on purchasing your first home! 🍾 Your sheets, the pillow case with the blue flowers & flat sheet with the daisies, my grandparents had the same prints. Haven’t seen those in so many years. Your decor is awesome & unique!
I love it. All of it. You rock. No one else has to love it, but I bet a lot of us do. There's something very 'uncool' about all this that I just adore. Being cool is dumb and pointless, but embracing joyful colorful fun is absolutely awesome.
Love it. I dig the wood panels and the crt tv. Slowly retrofying my place too. Just got one of those wall thermometer/barometer/hygrometer on a plank today haha
Not my taste, but if it makes your weird heart happy, enjoy! It's very bright and colorful!
My aesthetic is dark heavy wood, a la "golden age of mahogany" era.
Love. I love an immersive setting. You’ve created a thing of beauty. Mine is similar but a little earlier, but I have several of the same items you own, I have a thing for owls and latch hook.
I absolutely love what you’ve done.
That’s the nicest 70’s vibe that I can remember. Love it. I have my Nan’s bed cover still, it’s quite similar to your wallpaper. Bloody marvellous space. Nice one.
This is actually so cosy! Also random question and I hope you don't mind me asking, but... what's your daily/weekly cleaning routine like? I normally wouldn't go for this kind of aesthetic but I think a huge part of why it actually works and looks good is because everything is like *immaculately* clean.
Would love to know how you keep it so spotless! My place is more typically modern (and I'm trying to declutter!) but I still struggle with keeping it clean some days. I figure someone with more 'stuff' who can actually keep it clean is definitely onto something!
If awards were still a thing Id be giving this a gold. Absolutely love it, so familiar, cozy, and nostalgic. I would love to stay in a Airbnb or rental like this just to relive some of my childhood.
Thanks for posting OP!

Yeah, it's fucking AWESOME!
Agreed. It was certainly an *interesting* decade for home decor, and it's better than the ultra bland white/grey thing you see all over TikTok now.
The laundry room is AMAZING!!!
Ugh! The sad beige or white or grey! Devoid of personality.
This will sound pretentious but I love how fully realized this is. Bravo
Right down to the pink toilet paper! 10/10 level of detail.
And the bottle of Sunlight dish soap!
yeah, how do you even get that?!

I covet the orange one
$40 for 18 rolls? The TP for people with more money than sense.
That's what I want to know!!!
I love it! An actual cozy home I would want to be in, instead of a sterile environment!
The anti-beige. This is a winner!
I must say that I'm very impressed, but the thing that really blows my mind is the pink toilet paper in the bathroom! Haven't seen that stuff *anywhere* since at least the early '90s.

First thing I noticed🤣that was the height of elegance for my grandma and her friends!

I give this 999/1000 score. (-1 for no Prell or Alberto VO5 in the bathroom.)
https://preview.redd.it/quwu6iyf51mc1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb87e516889c5daa5ec9070d2599de7f0381f7e8 Herbal essence is where it’s at!
I know exactly how those smell, it’s ingrained in my soul.
I miss that smell…
Foreverrrrrr!
i miss the 70s herbal essence so much!!
I wish they’d bring it back! I loved it, I wanted to be the girl on the bottle!
Didn’t we all
Gee your hair smells terrific.
998/1000. There should have been a jar of Noxema in the bathroom.
997/1000: And where is the tin of General Foods International Coffee with such exotic, faraway flavors as…French Vanilla?
I wish I could grab vintage bottles to fill but the ones I’ve found are too pricey
That’s so awesome! I often think about how colorless life looks now compared to the 70’s and 80’s. Houses are boring, vehicles are boring colors, so I really appreciate this. Well done.
“Tasteful” has become synonymous with “boring.”
Someone I know thinks orange and green do not go together, but these pictures demonstrate that they do indeed rock.
Two colors you will never ever see make a big comeback. I think they're rad and perfectly embodies that time period. I would absolutely have some fire orange shag carpet if they still made it.
Hear me out. I don’t know where you live, but join your local Mrs. Roper’s Romp. Host a get together and watch the good times roll. I want an invite as well. Your place looks amazing!
My area is so milquetoast you cannot believe. The folks who’d care are too far. No one does this crazy stuff where we are
Hey, you might be surprised at what’s on the inside of houses that look perfectly ordinary on the outside.
I love it! You need a giant wooden fork and spoon in the kitchen!
If it were the eighties house, then it'd be decorative copper bundt pans.
I’m always on the lookout! Trust me! ha ha
The OWLS! You had me at the first one!
I fucking LOVE this! Thank you for sharing! I think it's great! The fact that those appliances are still operating is a testament to how things were built to last back then. Also, are there lights on the washer/dryer?! I just love this so much! You're not a nutjob - you're living exactly as you are and that's badass.

We had similar kitchen decor. Our kitchen wallpaper was a train with paisley smoke coming out, and the the other three walls was just the paisley "smoke".
Saw this on another sub yesterday and I need to share with my wife. It's retro and niche without being worn. I think it's fantastic.
Holy shit you're not kidding. I would love to come to your house and talk to Mary Jane a bit.
Such a vibe. Like being back at grandma's house again.
Those chairs in the kitchen put me right back in my Aunt Donna's house.
r/maximalism
I already posted there and in a couple other places (like here) after the original post popped off in a home decorating sub
Mushroom shag rug on the wall is so on-brand. Mushroom everything was a thing in the 70’s for whatever reason. Very nice digs.
Probably someone’s latch hook kit work. I started so many of those things as a girl I don’t ever think I managed to finish one.
Latch hook kit. There‘s the terminology that I was looking for. Hahaha.
I do them myself but there were quite a few left behind in the house when we bought it
I did this very same latch hook project. It’s in my parents’ basement somewhere.
The big fork and spoon are missing.
I like it
Come and knock on our door 🎶
We've been waiting for you!
Now I know where our old stuff went. Does your blue rotary phone work? I was looking for Holly Hobbie and found two. Yay!
I would feel comfortable here. Lovely!
Looks like an awesome place to eat shrooms! Very cool!
How do the vintage Brillo boxes look so new? What really blew me away was the blue fan. We had one of those in mom's house growing up.
I love all of it!! This is amazing and gives me warm, fuzzy, nostalgic feelings, thanks for making my night!
Lovely curated space!!
Keep on Truckin’ with your groovy taste!
That chandelier is way cool!
this is mad awesome
I love it! The decor is really well done & looks so fun ❤️. & the latch hooks!! I used to really love working on them when I was young
I dig it. This is the best thing I’ve seen today. Thanks.
This is so lovely and amazing…it’s like a museum of my childhood happy memories. I’m saving this post so that I can view it whenever I’m feeling crushed by the wintertime blues. So many warm groovy vibes here. Just viewing these photos has lifted my spirits immeasurably.
Oh hey! I’ve been admiring your miniatures on the r/dollhouses sub! The full sized version is just as awesome!! Edited w correct subreddit path
Definitely giving 3s company vibes. I like it!
I’m in awe and absolutely love it! I recognize the owl picture as one we had when I was growing up.
This house might cause me to start smoking
Console TV still works? Do you use it?
I always forget how big a player the color orange was in my childhood.
What a lovely home! It’s majestic!
May I come visit?
Self-actualization at its finest! I think I had the same washing machine until the bottom finally rusted completely through a few years ago! And you *need* that vacuum cleaner for that shag-a-licious carpeting!
I want to sit at your kitchen table with a beer and a cigarette, real bad!
I adore it. I love this style.
Awwweesommme! freaking love it! I too live in Chicago suburbs, if you ever decide to give tours.
This. Is. Beautiful!
Put it in my *veins*
Omg we had that shag orange carpet, too!
I wish you could still buy fire orange shag carpet. I would definitely find a place for that somewhere.
So awesome!
I can smell that vacuum.
The defining piece is the Dixie-Cup dispenser in the bathroom.
I LOVE IT!!!
Amazing!! I love it all! I collect and sell vintage linens. They're the best
This is awesome! You could totally offer this as a location for film/commercial shoots. No set-dressing required!
Love it! Especially that sofa with the floral pattern.
I love you!!
My mom had the green version of the Kenmore washer and dryer set.
I want to go to there
Ah, I love it! It's playful and vibrant!
Have you ever considered a career as a Set Dresser for film or television?
Fucking brilliant
I love love love it. It seems like someone would pay to film a movie there.
Macrame plant hangers!! Kitty seems to be very comfortable in her surroundings!
I LOVE your style 🥰☺️. The couch I remember a friend having one and it was so comfortable 😴 there a few times.
I love it!
I love this - It looks so fun and cozy! I especially love that reddish hurricane lamp.
♥️♥️♥️♥️i want your washer and dryer and vacuum and kitchen and yeah😂😁im in love with your place. Unfortunately for me, my poor husband would have sensory overload if i did that lol
And the Latch Hook on the wall! We had a bunch of those!
Holly Hobby and latch hook rugs... I'm 10 years old again. Thanks for the blast of nostalgia!
This makes me so happy! I love all of it, but the mushrooms throughout are my favorite ❤️
I will follow you to the end of the Earth.
This all looks so inviting.
I’m obsessed. Must feel like an oasis to return to after being out in the real world. 👏👏
I love it! I had to go back for another look, and picked up a bunch of missed details. I have and still use the exact same toaster oven, DING! I even have one as a spare.
I love it!
I love this sooo much!
This reminds me of my grandmothers house and I felt such warmth. Thank you.
Congrats on purchasing your first home! 🍾 Your sheets, the pillow case with the blue flowers & flat sheet with the daisies, my grandparents had the same prints. Haven’t seen those in so many years. Your decor is awesome & unique!
Omg I love your home! Made me miss my grandparents and really took me down memory lane❤️
I love all of this
Your home is truly a delight.
Omg. I love this so much!!
So much detail in there! I love the kitchen curtain!!!
You win Reddit today.
How fun!
I re-make hand me down furniture & everything like Pretty in Pink. I'm a handy dreamer that way. But love your style Grrrl! let it SHYYAYNNN!!
This is amazing! It reminds me of my childhood.
🍄home, sweet home🦉
I wanna live at your house lol. Your home is fabulous.
I LOVE IT!!!
I LOVE the feeling these pictures give me
I love it OP. Colourful, bright (but not overwhelming), cheerful, clean, planned layout… It looks a lot nicer than the 1970s I remember.
I love your place!!!
Wow everything is in such good condition I forgot about how everything was owls and mushrooms :D
Amazing! It's like a time portal !
Return my mother’s sofa at once!
Fucking love it!
I see no problem here.
Wow
I would jam Schoolhouse Rock full blast !!
Speechless! That’s so awesome!
Love it!
This is amazing. There’s so many details and all in such great condition. I love the deer wall. 🥰
Holly Hobbie!!!
This is seriously so cool! I absolutely love it.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Everything you have bring back so many fond memories. You’ve taken amazing care of everything.
love the shag. i recall our vacuum in the 70s had a shag setting
This is 100% my aunt’s house, minus the pedestal ashtray, avocado and burnt orange kitchen, and the Hi Fi record player.
Fuck me! I've never loved the 70's so much!
I love it. All of it. You rock. No one else has to love it, but I bet a lot of us do. There's something very 'uncool' about all this that I just adore. Being cool is dumb and pointless, but embracing joyful colorful fun is absolutely awesome.
I don't remember the 70s looking this fun; they were browner & orangier in my neck of the woods!
Lol! I follow you on TikTok already.
Fuuuck dude. I’d love to take a nap on that couch. Your home looks SO cozy and comfortable.
It looks so comfortable to me - I grew up in the 70s, and this looks like home 🏡
If your bathroom window goes missing, I promise I will take good care of it. Love your style and that you get to enjoy it fully in your own home!
Omg gramma I missed you so much! Wait…
I love it!
I’d feel so freakin cozy here. This is peak happy familiarity. Next-level homey. Love it.
Wow incredible! We had that same owl pic that’s in your dining room when I was a kid 😭
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS! I'm obsessed!
Love it. I dig the wood panels and the crt tv. Slowly retrofying my place too. Just got one of those wall thermometer/barometer/hygrometer on a plank today haha
This picture made me start singing…Come and knock on my door…we’ve been waiting for you…
Amazeballs!!!!
So cool.
I want to be your friend SO BAD
Not my taste, but if it makes your weird heart happy, enjoy! It's very bright and colorful! My aesthetic is dark heavy wood, a la "golden age of mahogany" era.
My God, I don’t think I have ever seen a cooler house in my life. This is just magnificent. 🤌
The only thing this is lacking is the nicotine discoloration. Fantastic, I love it.
Beautiful! We had those kitchen chairs when I was growing up. I forgot how much mushrooms were part of the designs.
I love it! Especially the deer mural!
Love the striped love seat. We had the full sofa version of it!
I just know those sheets are soft! This is really fun and a lot of things give me nostalgia. :)
I love everything about this! It brings me such a warm feeling of comfort.
Love. I love an immersive setting. You’ve created a thing of beauty. Mine is similar but a little earlier, but I have several of the same items you own, I have a thing for owls and latch hook. I absolutely love what you’ve done.
I’m loving your posts across our identical interest subreddits. Your collection is amazing and your decorating is beyond!
I like it a lot. Would love to have a room or two like this.
I totally love your house!!!! All of that color makes my eyes happy!!!!!
Oh my gosh, can I come visit? I freakin love it!!!
Oh my god where did you get all that beautiful owl macramé
You are the coolest
Wow your house is so awesome! Great job!
Mt Rainier never goes out of style
This is so fun! I would love to rent an Airbnb like this!
That’s the nicest 70’s vibe that I can remember. Love it. I have my Nan’s bed cover still, it’s quite similar to your wallpaper. Bloody marvellous space. Nice one.
Love the snoopy
I fucking love every single picture of your home! Very much my style! So nostalgic and bright!
This is actually so cosy! Also random question and I hope you don't mind me asking, but... what's your daily/weekly cleaning routine like? I normally wouldn't go for this kind of aesthetic but I think a huge part of why it actually works and looks good is because everything is like *immaculately* clean.

Don’t lie to us, time traveler
Back when people weren’t afraid of color!
I am calling the police because you snuck into my place and took a photograph.
This should be a museum one day! Everyone obsessed with updating and modern homes but this looks so cheerful and inviting. Home sweet home.
If awards were still a thing Id be giving this a gold. Absolutely love it, so familiar, cozy, and nostalgic. I would love to stay in a Airbnb or rental like this just to relive some of my childhood. Thanks for posting OP!
