Sweet smokin Judas , what were they thinking?



Welcome back to Interior Desecrations, a brutal examination of the unlovely, unattractive, unlivable and unforgivable homes of the 1970s. All eras have some bad taste, of course  but it took the 70s to make bad taste triumphant and universal. It took the 70s to convince everyone to stick foil wallpaper on the wall, paint the bathtub purple , smother the floors in shag so deep it tickled the tops of your ankles, and hang art that managed to clash with everything, including itself. I mean, look at this picture  what is that? A dissected Rubikss Cube attempts to threaten a potted plant and his child, I guess.



Love the rug, too. They didnt even make AMC cars in those color combinations. They didnt dare.



Interior Desecrations was once a website, a popular & venerable part of the Institute of Official Cheer  and now its a book! From the same fine people who brought you the Gallery of Regrettable Food comes an all-new compendium of pop-culture. Its fun, its cheap, and it makes a great gift for anyone who grew up in a house like this, or made their kids suffer for their decade-long lapse in taste. NOTE: this is the original 1999 version of the site - hence the resolution and design.
