I actually like that wallpaper. Wouldn't want it in my house but I like it. It could be worse(orange/yellow).

Well after staring at it for 30 years you do start to want a change...

Oh lawd pooki... That's just....hideous! I'm moving in three weeks to a newtome home. The wallpaper in there is just...awful. It's orange and avocado green. I kid you not. It goes with the equally hideous orange counter tops. I'm a child of the 70's...i don't want to be reminded of it everytime I walk into my kitchen.  |

That wallpaper is the opposite of tasteful, but I dunno. It has character. I'd leave it up. I hate it when everything is in terribly good taste -- it works for Sims, but I don't like it for myself. I could live with roosters and on the walls a lot more easily than a perfectly decorated house like a showroom. I have an uncle and aunt who decorated their house in perfect, unobjectionable, catalog-worthy taste, and it doesn't feel like a home, though they've lived there now for about 20 years. |

Well I wasn't born until 83, but we did have that ugly brown flower couch though. You know the one.

We had one of those too! Thankfully it is long gone. I would just like to take the wallpaper down, shred it and and put up some paint with maybe a wallpaper border. I tend to like the shabby chic stuff a little bit. We have some paneling in our hallway with little pink roses on a white background that I do like. Its nice and bright, I can't stand a room that is dark and looks like a dungeon,the wallpaper will be changed one day it is a solemn vow I have taken. |

When you said shabby chic it reminded me of Pamela Anderson's house on cribs. I love this house: http://www.truveo.com/MTV-Cribs-Pam-Anderson/id/827339953 |

Yikes! It looks like 10 elderly cat ladies live there - but kind of in a cute way. Weird. |

Oh, if you want to see someone in denial about the 70's being over you have only to look at my father's vinyl kitchen wallpaper. It is hideous and after he redid the counter tops and put in an island bar I thought he would get rid of it but noooo. He says it will be up till the day he dies and then if I take it down he will haunt me. I will risk the ghost.  Exhibit AEek! That brings back memories. I think I had a neighbor with that same Patriotic pattern in a lovely colour combination of golden mustard and mushroom grey/brown ("greige"). |

I wanted to see as well. Fiddlesticks.
Thankfully my house is orange shag carpet free, but a Prowler trailer that my family used for camping for a few years was orange and brown. *shudders* Everything was orange and brown.

When we bought our house, it was from the original owners. They had it professionally decorated. All the curtains matched all the wallpapers and the outlet covers had been wallpapered as well. It was a flipping nightmare. Once I started adding up all the paint, etc. supplies from Home Depot that we bought just to get a different pallet, we had topped $6000. I won't even go into the carpet/flooring. Needless to say, once it was finally done, we were reassigned 14 months later.  |
