I do remember carpet in one of the bathrooms in the house we had in Stuart. It was lime green.
Grandma had paneling everywhere.
That Penney’s catalog pic is a scream. lol
Funny part is I still have a JCPenney open near me
Yup. me too
Vintage?
The year I graduated high school.

78? I was married with a baby and lived in a trailer. Good times!
Fun
This has an agenda. I do not remember seeing women with a tattoos except at a carnival freak show. Not one. Never saw a electric car in the 70s, ever.
