Retro Lighting

We’re starting to see more and more 1970s lighting show up in 2nd hand stores (retro-antique stores).

I remember when I was a kid my great aunt had wallpaper like that in her kitchen, her kitchen appliances were that split pea green though.

It is amazing that these things were ever in style.

This reminds me of my childhood kitchen. It was all done in shades of yellow, orange, brown, and green. I still joke that my mom took her design cues from a bag of M&Ms.

I like the coppertone appliances. While I don’t like this particular fixture, and the materials can be nicer now, the 60’s/70’s were a heckuva lot more interesting than the new “greige” snozefest we are seeing now in design.

I didn’t like anything from the 60s and 70s. The 80s and 90s were actually an improvement.
