Shag carpeting and other groovy things/GIVEAWAY

I have began getting our home ready for tomorrow’s Almost Famous 70’s Soiree. Although I didn’t get to the gardening or the dusting I don’t think anyone will notice now that this GREAT wallpaper is in my bathroom. Kidding. Wouldn’t it give you stage fright?
1970s decor Double tiered sheer drapes, my mom’s floral couch and of course shag carpeting. Yeah baby! I have to admit that I like the chair and coffee table.
22_lg Welcome to the dark dungeon.
2249704_f520 It’s been a bit chilly in Phoenix. Thank goodness for delightful fireplaces like this. (My Grandma Mary had a yellow one.)

Fur daybeds, sea anemone like glass tables,  and metallic blinds and wallpaper. How many more ways did this room go wrong?6a00d83451ccbc69e2010534b912f8970b-800wi
Proving the point that everything old is new again…Owl craze, yep, already been done.  13_lg This photo makes me happy. Probably because if you threw in a bit of lavender, that couch could have been my childhood bedspread and Papa Jack always let us eat on trays in front of the telly.

Sheer tiered drapes again, but read the tiny print. Outdoor furniture used indoors. And you thought Rachel Ashwell was responsible for that trend.  I am SO gonna glue fringe onto my patio table. 14_lg I am thinking of redoing Sweet Boy’s room. Look, there is a desk big enough for his typewriter, I mean computer. 2103351862_2b0c6ccdf0 Let’s wallpaper the ceiling in the guest room…
2606045332_88776d86c9 ….and the bed, and the bookcase.6a00d83451ccbc69e2010534c0ab1b970c-800wi Where can I find a HUGE waterbed? (This is Rudi the dachshunds favorite photo~ he would feel a bit like Hef sleeping in such accommodations at the foot of such a bed.)
home decor Now this is my kind of craft area. A sewing area AND a place to hang my guns.

Of course every great party must have fantastic food. You too can have these great recipe cards for just $19.95. But wait! There’s more.
untitled-11252421146 My mom collected these cards. I bet you are truly eager to try these two fabulous recipes.
vintage-recipe-cards Nothing works better at controlling my weight given that I wouldn’t eat a bite of this:
series06_03 How about bananas wrapped in ham and smothered in cheese? Yum!
bananasjpg-3fa8a177ea06d527_large Now we’re talkin’. We will have a huge punch bowl full of sangria, colorful party ware and fabulous food.
series09_09 There will be fondue~cheese and chocolate, but not together.

Now, what to wear. I might wrap a long scarf around my head ala Rhoda. Hot pants~ not so much anymore.
3114026310_0a8bf705ec Ah a pretty polyester jumpsuit. And it zips up!
1970_todd_ad_sm These groovy chicks look SO happy in their maxi dresses. It must be the pain of over plucking their brows.
AAAADFnbHmwAAAAAAGrjCA Here we go, this is more my style. Love the hat. I recently bought several 1970 issues of Seventeen magazine and these shoes really were all the rage.
431774196bbf448b701ia2 But one must admit that these are something else.70s_5 The shoes I really want are shown in this photo. Ya gotta dig the bathroom tile and the small fry trying to take a peek.
euro10 Think I can talk sweet boy into wearing the plaid jumpsuit? (Thanks to Plaid Stallions for finding this gem.)
beatings For some reason Mr. Decor refuses to wear a poly leisure suit.
1970sfashion Or these groovy platforms.
acce097 But I bet I could get him on board in wearing matching His and Hers. I mean look at how much fun these people are having!
old-ad-70s Of course there is also hair and makeup to consider. (Is Yardley make up even still made?)
3255865441_9a30d7ba51 So come on over! I don’t care how you get here. Be it by skateboard…
4229447073_49df765c45 …or by lacing up your skates. (Thanks White Fundude.)
2537148826_a25e2cfa31 Heck you could even hop on a tour bus…it is sure to be a truly psychedelic time.
2604176963_68a51fb301 With a lot of groovy peeps.
