My grandparents didn't have a "70s-style kitchen."

They had a "70s-style scullery."

1870s-style.

Most people had a Veg-O-Matic and they still used lard.

What about the tall glass decanters filled with fruit and alcohol?

I still use my Rival Crock-Pot that I got in 1976 or 1977, though it’s not the same model as in the photo (the stoneware doesn’t lift out). I still keep it in the original box with the styrofoam inserts, too.

I remember those colors.

The only thing I really liked from the 70s was the music and a few of the movies.

I remember driving mom and dad crazy with my clackers

During the 1970s, I remember my parents hanging wallpaper, cutting the sheets, soaking them in water and then trying to get the sheets to line up. It was never perfect but you didn't really notice unless you really looked. Towards the end of the wall, my father would curse and swear as he'd always have to cut thin strips to fill in the gaps.

The kitchen and bathroom got linoleum floors which were a pain to fit around the toilet and pipes, etc. My father was a weekend "do-it-yourselfer" way before there was such a thing as Home Depot or Lowes. Back then, we'd trek back and forth to the local hardware stores where grouchy old men held sway. Half the time they wouldn't have what was needed and we'd have to go to several different places.

Another thing I remember is the cheap dark paneling my father threw up in the hallway and den. Now that went up fairly easily but it made the den and hallway so dark that we had to keep the lights on even in the daytime.

Those Clunky Oak (?) Table and Chairs You may still have these because, not unlike appliances from that period, they were made to last. The chairs had somewhat of a " pirate ship's steering wheel" aesthetic and there always seemed to be only one chair with arms, which we called the "Captain's chair" in my house. Yeah, I know.

Yes - but ours all had arms. Very heavy to move, and bordering on indestructible. I'm not sure where they ended up, but somebody could have built a fairly effective tornado shelter out of the raw materials after dismantling them. :)

Some black homes had really bold colors back then, along with the JFK and Jesus picture on the wall of all black homes some would have all black and red bathrooms with black toilets or other intense choices, having a bar in the house was common for many people during the 70s.

Sewing was a trend then....gals would spread these patterns on the kitchn table to cut the fabric...

One thing you’d find in a 1970’s kitchen is an entire family sitting at the table eating dinner at 5:30pm.

Too funny.

That lady, standing in her kitchen, next to her avocado green appliances, looks just like my mom...similar outfit!!

I think we had that same laminate floor ... and, I still have that crock pot, that mom handed down to us.

The items listed in the thread take me back to the gift tables at my wedding shower and wedding. So many bun warmers.
