The overwhelming amount of pattern in 70s Sears catalogs always amazes me.

GAH I think I've been IN that room, or one very much like it. D: #isurvivedthe70s

Aaaaaaaaahhh fabric texture flashbacks!

I can just feel the 30/40 year old threadbare, shiny, and squeaky fabric beneath my fingertips. The sagging cushions, the wood that's poked through the compressed batting. The white that is either still pristine, somehow, or yellowed by cigarettes.

I think I finally stopped seeing that pattern around in 2010, and have started seeing it again recently as it's getting hip in 2014. Harvest/Hearth will live forever!

So BUSY. You can barely make out that there are people on the sofa.

That pattern is busier than Santa's workshop on Christmas Eve.

i...am reasonably certain the couch version of this is still in my husband's dad's living room.

Yikes! I bet it's a super-itchy material.

My best friend's mom had a couch like that one for years!

By itself the chair could work, but all together? Yikes! My mom would have called it 'too busy'.

Regretfully I think I have a bedspread that busy here somewhere.

Wow. That is the exact living room set we had at the time. I remember seeing it inside the two inch thick Sears Catalog too.
