| My Project Decor |
Yesterday I obsessed a bit over 70's Fashion as seen in American Hustle! Today I was thinking about 70's home style, and how not all of it was avocado and gold! I must admit that the 1970s was challenged by the old saying too much of a good thing is..well too much of a good thing! Yet, there where pieces of furniture, art and even wall coverings that were great and still can look fabulous in todays eclectic interiors! Let's not forget that some of the coolest designers reigned in the 70's, such as Albert Hadley and David Hicks!
There was a surge of bold colors, use of fur and shag and pop art galore. 1970's brought Brutalist to light and there is really nothing brutal about it at all! I searched my favorite antique site-1st Dibs for iconic pieces that were found in upscale 70's interiors that could still look totally cool in 2014! Do you have any relics or favorites from the 70's if so let me know. Enjoy my finds!

Loved the style in that movie. Set decor was fantastic. I have a brass and glass, with a Greek key, coffee table from the 70s. I got it from a neighbor and recently found it on a website called Charish for $2200.00 marked down to $1100.00. No matter what the cost, I'm digging mine.
ReplyDeleteFun post!
