my childhood kitchen had a tiffany lamp, hanging plants, andirons, artificial maize on the wall

no macrame, though. i don't have a picture. it was the ne plus ultra of mid-'70s back-to-nature domesticity. i didn't appreciate it enough at the time. now it's just a memory.

actually, wait, the hanging plants were encased in crocheted yarn; that's close enough to macrame.

i seem to remember some wooden shelving for bric-a-brac.

Early on in my kitchen, there was some fairly generic wallpaper with geometric patterns. What I remember most about that wall was the remains of a fruit my mom had thrown at my dad in the heat of one of their arguments; they left some residue of the fruit caked into the bottom part of the wall, down by the floor, for several years. It didn't seem nearly as bizarre then as it surely does now.

One hanging plant, after I miraculously turned around a horrendous run in junior high shop class and somehow managed to make a functional plant holder, which my mom proudly mounted on the kitchen wall.

Not in the kitchen, but we had bead curtains (!!!) well into the '80s (!!!!!!!) in the living room entrance to the hallway.

iirc we had macrame plant hangers, brown kitchen cabinets with that white laminex with the speckles/sparkles in it, and some hot lookin brown and orange couches. None of the real 70s kitchen orange tho, suprisingly.

I think everything in our house was brown. Brown exterior, brown fake wood laminate cabinets, brown fake wood linoleum floors, brown carpet, brown furniture. The popcorn ceilings were white though.

Ha, I LOVED our kitchen. It was extremely modern for a 1929 kitchen. It had Danish modern cabinets and a breakfast nook. BUT dad put Z-Brick in it.... It looks like a real brick wall, but you know how appraisers are.

The kitchen we had for most of my childhood was pretty bad -- a little box with ugly yellow vinyl floor tile. But then my parents did an addition and redid it really nicely, expanded it and put in cabinets with windows behind them, which is very nice.

Brown wood-veneer laminated dining table with orange vinyl chairs; orange floral curtains, orange macrame pot hangers, kitchen was laminated wood veneer with white sparkle counters

(Living room was beige shag-kinda carpet, blue sofa & chairs, and pale yellow shantung curtains)

I can't remember the floor in the kitchen? Vague memory of it being white linoleum with a gold squiggly pattern on it
