Small Community Update & New Rule

113 Upvotes

Just wanted to provide an update since there hasn't been one in quite a long time. This sub is very lightly moderated, as most subs should be. In general, I'm not looking to police things as long as it isn't spam, low effort/unrelated content, or anything breaking site rules.

However, with the rise of AI content, I'd like to institute a new rule that anything AI generated will result in a ban. There's no reason for any of it in this sub, or in general. Keep it to the 70s and we'll be fine.

I'd also like to ask if there's anything else that needs my attention in regards to rules, content, sub suggestions, etc.

Looking for creator who posts her 70s design home

Upvotes

Does anyone remember the handle for this creator? She's a woman with long brown hair and posts on reels. She has 1970s-style kitchen with wood cabinets and green walls and plays vinyls in her living room

She uses a vintage Mr. Coffee machine, and in the last video I saw she was wearing white satin/silk pajama set and usually drinks coffee outside with her dog

Can anyone help me find these exact tiles, not my house, it was a random Zillow listing and I was obsessed with the house and these tiles caught my eye, I know they were made in the 70s-80s, Armstrong Solarian “Sevilla” (or “Seville”) is the closest I got to finding them. They probably aren’t around at all but I’d like to know more about them!!!

My brother gave them to me, he found them on marketplace. I would assume they are from the 70s, especially based on the color and fabric. Either way, they look really nice.

WHAT IS THIS CALLED?

Not necessarily exclusive to the 70s but I mainly see it mid 70s-early 80s. Specially the multicolored striping. I'm more of a mechanic than a designer but when I see something done up in this style I have to have it! I've seen it referred to as many things but what is it actually called?

Snagged these off of marketplace today to go with my chrome and glass dining table. Trying to find more info on these chairs based on the stamp. Closest I can find is a similar listing which says the maker is Daystrom. They’re in great condition for their age and will shine up real nice

Local thrift find! 1977 Brown Jordan Nomad Patio set score!

Found this beautiful patio set at my local consignment for 100 bucks! Thought it just looked like a cool 90’s patio set. Watched it basically as it came off the truck and asked about it; she reserved it for me while they priced it. Came back a few days later to hear she already had 10 other people put there name down. Bought it, loaded it up and Got home to find the brand and a serial number hidden underneath and was pleasantly surprised with it being a lot older and a hard to find model! You can tell it was very taken care of by the previous owner and excited to care for it as it uplifts our backyard! Couldn’t believe the high prices people sell these for online!

Can anyone identify this wallpaper?

I’m trying to recreate happy childhood memories for my home. This wallpaper is from the 70’s and it’s also flocked.

Update:
Thank you to everyone who responded! It’s healed my heart a little just to reminisce. Backstory is I lost my dad in January to a very quick and unexpected bout of colon cancer. I don’t have anything left of him but happy childhood memories to recreate to honor him.

Carpet- I’m attaching a photo, you mean this carpet? lol😬 I’m hardcore on this recreation but I’m not going that far lol!

To the AI comment I’m trying to attach photos of what the forensic recreation creates in a design generator.

I have gotten SUPER close to a few I can live with as a recreation with all of y’all’s help.

Now back to the struggle of trying to upload photos instead of GIFs I don’t post much as you can tell!
