1970s Things Found In Every Home

The 1970s had a style all of it's own and many of the items found in homes can no longer be seen in them. Let's take a tour and see 1970s things found in every home.

This makes me homesick for those days when my parents were still living, the 70’s were so much fun, now in my mid 60’s.

I remember calling the "time lady" to find out if our clock was right: 767 +any four digits. Also the sound of a busy signal before voice mail existed.

I actually miss the 70s. Brings back memories of my parents and a very happy childhood.

Black light posters, lava lamps, POW/MIA bracelets, mood rings, the best music. It was a great time to be a teenager!!!!

My wife and I are sitting here watching this just laughing out loud. Our basement is still entirely 1970's. The original paneling is still here and so is the full wall brick fireplace that we still use. The popcorn ceiling is still up there as well. In the corner are two yellow Beanbag chairs that our Grandkids love to sit in. The built in bookcase still has my World Book Encyclopedias from when I was in Elementary School in the early 1960's. There is even a small kitchenette area down there with an avocado green stove top, avocado green sink and yes the avocado green refrigerator behind the Bar Area. They all still work!!!
Thanks for Memories!!!

Best decade I wouldn’t trade growing up in the 70’s for anything.

I’d go back to the 70’s in a second. Children could play outside, all day, without a parent hovering around. The music was great, especially, if you were a teen. People had a little more self respect, as well as, respect for one another. We interacted in person, as there was no social media. Life was good, in my opinion.

Missing the 70s for many reasons. This is just a reminder of being young. Having a nice stereo receiver and speakers was a great luxury you don't see today.

[williamscoggin]

You forgot the option everyone went for, the long extended telephone receiver cord. The ultimate was to have one that would reach from the living room to the furthest room of the house but definitely to the bathroom. 👍🏻🇺🇲👀

I was a teen in the 70s. Those were the days! Miss them.

I was a teenager in the 70's. I remember all these things. Good memories.

[gregatkinson]

I took these good old days for granted at the time but with the passage of time I changed my way of thinking more and more.
I now cherish those days and only wish that I could go back....AND STAY!

I am proud to say I was a kid in the 70's.

[karenroy]

I love the 70s. I grew up during that time. Life was so simple.

[blakjack]

I spent all my teenage years in the 70s living with my folks in the suburbs of Los Angeles CA. We had a 3 bed, 2 bath house filled with all that kind of 70s modern decor, the gawdy colors of the appliances and furniture, the shag rug, TV console that had a built-in 8 track and record player etc.. my favorite thing was Friday evenings when our whole family would be sitting in the living room for a dinner meal on foldable TV trays while watching shows like the Brady bunch or Twighlight zone! All of it still so fresh in my memory, shucks I really miss those good old days!

Let's not forget the wall paper mural walls. We had one room where the entire wall was wallpapered with a forest scene and in another room it was a tropical beach scene. They were great times to grow up.

[christinebutler]

Born in '59, so the 70s were my teen years. Funny how those pictures just feel like home, and I can almost hear my parents' voices.

[joecascone]

God, this is a time capsule of my childhood! Thanks for posting!

[DAVEJJR]

I was born in 1966 and grew up in the 70’s. I miss those days!!!

[dimplesd]

70’s decor was much more interesting than the grey or white rooms we live in today
