Everything Old Is New Again
This room is from http://www.omodern.com/Eurobad/euro.html, a site that bills itself as an exhibition of Europe’s worst interiors of 1974.
Funny how it looks just like some of the kids’ bedrooms you’ll see in the pages of the nicer decor magazines. It just goes to show you that no matter how reviled a color scheme, furniture style, or overall look is in one decade, you can be pretty sure it will be on the hot list again in just a few years.
I always dig through secondhand bookstores for Christmas ornament craft books. You’d think certain things would be immune to fashion, but you should SEE some of the horrors they came up with in the late Sixties and early Seventies. A seven foot tree made entirely of unadorned chickenwire, with blue satin balls hanging from the tip of each diamond-shaped branch? Imagine it lit by one of those rotating rainbow floor lamps and you’ll see why they did so many drugs back then.
Would you even need drugs with a tree like that?!
I would rather see this than posters of the latest hiphop stars plastered everywhere in kids rooms.
