1971 Bathroom Glam for Under $100!

[misstia]

I have enough ads, pix, magazine cut outs to probably post one a day for the rest of the year!

This is from Family Circle April 1971...Update your bathroom for under $100...

I didn't shrink the image so you can read the text, so it's a full size magazine page...

This room is just begging to be part of a slasher movie!

NOOOOOOOOO

And why was an electric toothbrush considered part of a renovation?

[misstia]

dunno....good point...they didn't include the curlers or soap dish....i guess it got them closest to $100?

Um, was replacing the pink toilet with a white one (with green seat and cover?!) included in that $100?

[misstia]

yep, $12.49...

Ah, that was the toilet seat, but the toilet itself is not on the list, is it?

[misstia]

hmmm...it's hard to tell in the little pix....i'm looking at the ad itself here...and it just looks like the toilet itself is white...so i'm thinking that the 'old' toilet seat was pink and they just switched it with the green one...

Going from Pepto-Bismol pink to looking like Tigger exploded... I think my eyeballs hurt :)

God, I think I'm blind.

Well, I wouldn't need coffee to wake up in the morning. Heh.

That is gross! the sad thing is that a friend's parent's home (they bought new in 1965) has the very same decor! I kid you not. It looks like a museum of 1970's tackyness. As for the picture above, what the hell is up with the green toilet seat? it clashes with the classy wall paper! ;)

That bathroom would scare the Sh*t out of me!!!

On the one hand, I'm pleased to see that there's a bathroom uglier than mine...

Imagine visiting that bathroom after having too much to drink.

[misstia]

you could throw up on the walls and no one would notice!

Part of what hurts is that more than one home I was in had at least one bathroom rather like that. It was a shock at the time too.

Ah, the 70's. How I miss thee.

If I was house buying and saw a bathroom like this now - I'd keep it in that mod condition!

[koboldmaki.livejournal.com]

I want a bathroom like this so bad... so so bad... what is wrong with me :(

[misstia]

me too!

Um... I think if I had to choose one, I'd pick the pink one.

Some friends of mine recently bought a house, and it had that same disgusting, busy yellow wallpaper in it.
