70's Rehash

I was looking at a picture of a coworker's parents house and could not stop looking at the wall paper. It was like the 70's popped a huge zit and it exploded all over the kitchen. I remember my grandparents having something similar in their kitchen as well as all their bathrooms. In retrospect I feel that it wouldn't be too bad of a style to have today. I'm not saying cover the whole apartment in this tacky show of splendor. Maybe one bathroom could have it. It seemed you didn't have a good bathroom back then unless you covered it in outrageously bad wall paper. My cousins old house had a bathroom with wallpaper that had greek sculptors on it, half of which seemed to be having an orgy. Really weird stuff. These days, most people opt for bare white walls and possibly a trim at the top or bottom. If I get around to it one of these days I might actually try to recreate this awesomeness in my own bathroom. Of course, the wife will never go for it. She doesn't share my vision.
