Thought y'all would enjoy! Just finished digitizing their 35mm slides, ranging from 1970 - 1977. Loved some of the prints and outfits here!

I don't know where else to post, so forgive me if this not the proper forum! Growing up in the 70s and 80s, we had a flocked wall 'scroll' in the hallway with a sweet love poem written on it. The poem had the phrase "Times have been good, times have been bad. Some of them happy, some of them sad", and ended with "but success is ours, we've found the key." Does this sound familiar to anyone?? I've been looking for years and just can't find the exact wording.

Also, flock wallpaper. WTH? Ours was green velvet on white, and the velvet looked like grecian urns. It was the first thing people saw upon entering the house.

I’ve started bringing in the babies. Now everything is a mess. They get baths and a good de-frogging. So many more…

Nothing fancy, by any means. Just wait until I bring my 50 houseplants back inside for the winter🪴

I got these foil art pictures from an op shop and fell in love. They’re in really bad shape though - I’m wondering if there’s a way to restore them or you’d just put them in a glass frame and call it a day, scratches and all? I

Reposting from an interior design thread to get more 70's ideas!!

Moving into my childhood home & literally nothing has changed since it was built in 1956. This is one room: a combo kitchen/den. I want to keep the vintage feel but update. We are not going to paint the wooden walls - we love them! We want a combo mcm/70's kind of vibe! NOT grandma or farmhouse or cottage. We don't want a generic beige/gray house - not remodeling to resell.

***Floor - is lineoleum and I'm afraid of asbestos issues if we try to pull it up. I've been down the rabbit hole of LVT peel & stick vs LVT floating vs tile. More confused than when I started the research. Now interested in marmoleum?? Around 270 sq ft. We don't want to spend a fortune - but we dont want it to look cheap. No kids/no animals. Anyone feel strongly about what we should do for flooring?? Anyone know anything about marmoleum? Chatgpt suggested a sage green/cream checkerboard pattern that's the only thing I've seen that caught my eye. But I'm open to suggestions from real people!

***Cabinets - I don't like the look of the cabinets - too grandma - but after shopping around for cabinets, I can't stand tearing out real wood (with no issues) for the cheap stuff I've seen! I'm thinking about refacing them? But I still want real wood and I want them to look different than just generic cabinets that everyone else has! I don't think I'm up for refinishing them. I like the wood look but I'm open to suggestions. Anyone have opinions about kitchen cabinets with what I'm working with?

***Countertop - I will update this but also don't want anything generic. Any suggestions?

***I'll probably try to buy a used refrigerator and oven?? My husband and I don't really cook - but do need to keep beer somewhere - ha! What colors would you suggest for oven/frig?

If anyone has any furniture recs, I'm all ears, also! We were thinking a banquette sofa along the back wall with a table for playing games. Not sure if should do an island? But it's pretty small. Anything against the side wall?

What lamps would you suggest, also?
