Just been given a catalogue and in one of the sections it gives
the colours that were about in the 50's as the colour to paint your house.
And the colour my house was painted in was there. Wild lime and lemoncello! .............yummy!!..........not!!!
It was awful!

Do you remember the Purples of the 70's and now the trend seems to be big flowery wallpaper.

What colours do you associate with which years!

You forget that the fashions of the 1970's looked wonderfull when viewed through the haze of marijuana.

I loved the flared slacks and body shirts and cork high heels etc.

The school dresses were very short then as well

Aussie boys legs were cute though in those short dresses!!

Apple Green and Cream 1930s / 1940s.

The decorator gave me this magazine this morning and it had this colour in it and
they are bringing it back in ......why!
I have spent 11 years with Wild lime and lemonchello paint and Mally and others will
tell you how vile it was.
Finally got rid of it

........... and what about coloured bathroom suites, some of the most ghastly colours imaginable (remember Avocado Green)?

No wonder all the bathroom manufacturer's now seem to be reverting to White.

Big flowery purple wallpaper - that's what the neighbours had across the road from us I'm glad I didn't have to wake up to that every day - just imagine it with a hangover

Wasn't old enough to view the fashions of the 70's through anything other than a haze of sherbert dibdab!! Being the younger sister, I inherited a pair of flares......
........in 1982!

Isn't Avocado Green the "in" thing at the moment then Looks like I'll have to change mine.

Back in the early 70s when we were courting, my hubby's bedroom walls and ceiling were ORANGE with PURPLE bedsheets
