25. Untouched?

How did they get the flat screen monitor in 1970?

2. Far out, dude!

But no, thanks.

3. This house is the reason the phrase 'retina-searing' was coined...

As an aside, to this day there are many, many ranches and split-levels in Framingham
north of Route 9

Remind me to go to the bathroom BEFORE I drop acid. Peace out.

[Phentex]

23. I like it!

But the bathroom would take some getting used to.

7. I kinda like the bathroom

They even wallpapered the ceiling! If you're going to go crazy, a bathroom is a good place.

I just looked at all the pictures. The outside is really boring.

[pinboy3niner]

8. For some of us the bathroom is not the ambiance we're looking for

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. I would probably laugh every time I walked into it. n/t

11. The black toilet is a nice touch.

10. That bathroom ...

12. My parents bought a house with orange shag carpeting

It was horrible. The bathroom had orange and green carpeting in it. One bedroom had green and white striped wallpaper. The stripes were vertical and it was dizzying to stay in there.

14. My sister made a pant suit that was that same shade of lime green.

15. Groovy. NT

16. It Came From the 1971 Sears Catalog!

That look is similar to what could be found in the Sears catalog back then.

Full disclosure: I had orange and yellow shag carpeting from Sears. I was late to that fashion scene, as I did not buy it until fall 1976. It was their cheapest grade. I probably paid $19.99 for a room-size rug, about 8 feet by 10 feet, maybe.

17. OMG, I think my aunt may have ordered from that.

Those curtains look awfully familiar. And I mean awfully.

20. I *think* I'm having a flash-back.......

Hold on to me, folks.......

[Generic Brad]

21. What? No popcorn ceilings?

I don't recall seeing ceilings textured like that in the 1970's.

[jmowreader]

24. Looks like Texture Paint to me

Except for the pink bathroom, this isn't all that bad.
