1970s Things Found In Every Home

Godawful styles, but I liked growing up in the Seventies. So much easier than now.

Little league baseball, mom pop stores.

And the Goobmeister 300. You put powdered milk into it and it created ABBA songs

as an electronic nerd..i have to say those "components" on stereos, were ajoke
with a little know how, you could use them as guitar amps, and more
my best friend were able to use them to broadcast music, over the phone lines lol

I loved the ceiling lights that covered most of the ceiling in diffused fluorescent light.

Back then I had the coolest stereo speakers in the world! They were ball shaped about 18 in in diameter, painted flat black with a silver toggle on the top and silver plate on the bottom. You attached a chain to the toggle. Ran the speaker wire up through the chain through a hook in the ceiling over to a corner and then back down to the stereo. They hung from the ceiling flanking the stereo. They were called omnidirectional speakers. No matter where you were in the room you could hear the separated sound. I bought them, along with a stereo radio and turntable in 1968, in Japan while I was on leave from my Air Force unit in Vietnam. Then humped them all the way back to Vietnam on any kind of Transport I could get a hold of. From there I had them shipped home to my wife. We just recently gave them to our grandchildren.

Those funky lights that you're talking about? They were actually fiber optics. Something everybody's familiar with today. And they looked great, back then

My wife and I still have a '70s piece of pottery. It's a rotund very evil looking Dragon flower pot that's open at the top with the upper torso of a guy sticking out of his mouth, and the rest of him inside the pot. That's our little connection to our past. Makes us feel warm on cold nights.

Once you sat in the bean bag chair, you were there to stay! Yeah, cuz they were so damn hard to get out of!

Wish we could go back

Lava lamps and strobe lights 😅

Black lite posters 😊

Omg!!! The paneling in the den 🤣 & gold shag carpet for miles 🤣heavy gold paneled curtains in front room & yellow kitchen with lament flooring🤣 Yellow bean bag chair too & the console TV that weighed a ton & us kids were the remote control 🤣 .....no macrame bc Ma hated it....Tupperware parties too & Tupperware for miles🤣.....lava lamps were my Uncles thing.....Yellow & white pyrex 🤣 thanks for the great childhood memories 🤣 especially getting shocked by the gold shag rug 🤣

I miss the 70s and 80s fun times bring them back. I enjoyed watching this video. 😊

The wood grain 8 track clock for bedroom orcasset players

I still have a scar from bean bag chair wars! We would run full speed at each other holding the bean bag chair. Also lawn darts took out my friends eye and she has a glass eye now. She also had an extra glass eye with an American flag for the Bicentinial 1976 celebrations. It was pretty cool for an eye. She became more popular with that eye.😂

Eye searing colors!😂 So true!

I LOVE 70's linoleum designs. I wish they made stuff like that now commonly.

Thank you!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Modern metal dinning table in bright colors with matching dinning chairs, swirly painted ceilings,pink or lime green appliances,oriental rugs, having a bread box and a built in cutting board and a bought and attached crushed ice machine and Dixie cup dispenser.

The 70s what a good time in life
Was great

The 80s was like this too

I remember those days.

Family collection of Encyclopedia Brittanica proudly displayed for all to see.
Mom baking fresh cake or pie.

Wish I still had those 8 track tapes.

Then in 1977 Burt Reynold's Smokey And The Bandit, made CB Radios for your car a must.

Can't wait until we can all have a good laugh about today's ubiquitous gray and white painted furniture, gray floors, oiled bronze (black) faucets, white painted brick homes, gray and white wals, etc. etc. etc.

What? No bentwood rocking chairs?

Vinyl records didn't "peak" in the seventies. Records were the only way most people could listen to recorded music at home for many decades. My dad had a huge collection when i was growing up in the 50s and 60s.

Things just seemed better back then

I still have a coffeemaker that isn't a Keurig. I will never get one. They're very expensive to use every day, and those cups are just unnecessary litter. Coffeemakers by Mr. Coffee and other manufacturers are still very common.

What a Golden Age it is !

Cool funky wallpaper.

A rotary dial telephone.

Macrame is making a coneback

the Dodge Dart that had the man made installed 8 track player, heaven forbit the machine ate yor tape.

Fake wood veneers!!! Yes! So many details in this video that I had forgotten about. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.🙂

What about reel to reel decks

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!

PUKEY PUKEY PUKEY !! 🤑🤢🤮

Our entire basement was paneled. The simple, easy life of the 70s

Ummm, the LAVA LAMP! I can't believe you didn't show a LAVA LAMP!

I think my son is getting tired of me saying "Oh and we had this too!" While I put the iPad in his face

That was the ugliest era of interior design that ever existed.

Yes, young people back then actually conversed. Nowadays they are too busy with their cellphones to actually hold a conversation, a lost art, unfortunately.

I really enjoyed the video. I miss the 70’s but not the 8 tracks; it was very frustrating listening to Yes “Close to the Edge “ in that format. My brothers didn’t seem to mind, but they smoked a lot of pot

Question: Stylistically, when did the 70s phase out & 80s come in? The 60s & 70s didn’t seem like as major jump as the 70s to 80s

😊 I remember a lot of 🧡orange 💛 yellow colors on furnitures, cars, clothes. 🌈Plenty of colors🌈. I 💚70 IES

the colors and designs were so beautuful back then, victorian style velvets and orange gold and green. Its sad tge lack of color now

idk what he means by "earthly theme" sounds like something from the bible!! haha
