Which Of These Items Were In Your 70's Decor

I actually have that brush and Batmobile in my collection now, not the tooth brush tho

[Bruce Banner]

I had the Superman version of that Batman brush.

And as for those mushroom shaped ceramic cookie jars/containers from a few posts earlier... there's still one in my kitchen to this day!

[B]10 YEARS LATER AND I'M BRINGING IT BACK BABY!!

A new list of things that seemed to in so many homes back in the day. How many of these ubiquitous 70s things were in your household?

Anything mushroom shaped, but these canisters in particular


You at least knew somebody with lucite grapes on their coffee table.

My mom had these exact canisters and both my Mom and Grandmother had the grapes (both different colors). My Mom still has the grapes.

however, my mom and all my aunts were all into ceramics, so all kinds of ceramic pieces were ubiquitous, form the giant headed sports figures I always got as Christmas gifts to all kinds of holiday decor.

sports figures like these...

My Mom did ceramics when I was young and had these sports figures for football and baseball. When I got married and started doing ceramics myself I took them and repainted them and now they sit in a display case in my foyer.

I remember we had all of them except Jean Nate. I remember that.

Hell!, the curse of the giant utensils had to be hanging in most of our families' kitchens and dining rooms! For the record, I was questioning those even at an early age.

However I always marveled at the confidence my mom exhibited with her full arsenal of Tupperware (I can still taste the plastic leeching into the Kool-Aid) and Corning Ware. She seemed invincible… or at least capable of handling any casserole or marshmallow dessert leftovers with such grace and efficiency.

Of all that stuff I only remember us having the giant fork and spoon (seems like everyone here had them, why the hell were they so popular??). We didn't have the lucite grapes but I saw plenty of them lying around at other people's houses. My parents were antique collectors and dealers, so our decor tended to skew more towards antiques rather than newer, trend of the month decorations, so we didn't have most of this stuff in our house.

When I watched the Brady Bunch house renovation series on HGTV, I remember they were searching antique stores for those lucite grapes.

Between parents and grandparents I experienced almost everything mentioned. How about this?

My dad purchased by grandfather a cuckoo clock when he was stationed in Germany while in the army during the 1950s. It was in my grandfather's living room up until the house was sold when he passed in '83. It's still in a box somewhere in my basement, but I don't think it's been out of that box since '83.

My parents still have a standing cuckoo clock, doesn't work anymore tho, made too much noise

[TrekStar]

We still have our cuckoo clock hanging on the wall, it hasn’t been wound up in years.

[Mikey]

My sis and bro-in-law used to have one of those Kit Kat clocks

The kind where the cat's tail and eyes move

As a kid I used to be a little afraid of it

[palitoy]

We had a kitchen witch, I remember my mum buying it, she was excited.
