how to live in the past, well, the seventies

netflix calls it 'remarkable'. it is; but you could also call it creepy. i watched happiness last night, and today i had to make some screen shots of the wonderfully 70's home decor.





let's ignore for the moment the fact that i'm apparently terrible at making screen shots. i will get better. it's pretty fun. and then let's focus on these vintage finds.
there's the wrought iron curlicue globe lamps that blow ikea's paper version out of the water.
and then that amazing plaid wall hanging that is super easy to make -- just staple gun your favorite fabric tightly over an old canvas and voila!
my favorite part (and what made me decide i needed pictures from this movie) is the crocheted giraffe sitting in the classic wicker bookcase. i am now on a quest to find out how to make one. there are tons of ideas and patterns online, but two pages into the google search results and i still haven't found the right giraffe. when i do it will be true love.
the bottom picture i took mostly for the rad red chair, but i love the overall feeling of the room. clutter, wicker, plants, and macrame. it doesn't get much better. right?
