Eurobad ’74

Ah, the 70′s. What an era. It started with Vietnam war protests at a high volume, and ended with the death of disco. In the meantime, we wore polyester, bought avocado-green appliances, and ate fondue.
Today’s FamilyFirst site is a tribute to the absolutely horrible chances we took decorating our homes, specifically those in Europe. It’s called Eurobad ’74, and it’s a series of bad 1970′s interior decorating schemes.
The front page shows a bathroom with gaudy earth tones (yes, it’s possible) and a turquoise-walled shower. It goes downhill from there.
You’ll see large expanses of dark wood, a kitchen equipped with a stable, huge rocks, and garish colors.
Really, folks, what were we thinking?

Marvel at the kitchen with a Porsche parked inside. Well, I guess that’s better than a horse. The green (both car and kitchen) can only be described as watermelon Jelly-Belly.
My favorite, though, is called hulsta Arkansas. Oh, sure, like we didn’t already have enough to be embarrassed about here in the Natural State, name a bad 70′s room design after us.
Marvel at the horror, friends. And don’t feel too smug about your own home decorating scheme. After all, the difference between chic and chicken house is the passing of time.
