from the black depths of infinity, through the blinding light of a thousand suns, comes a space spectacle for all time. Starcrag. The count has created a weapon so vast that it would take a whole planet to conceal it.
Marjo Goodner, Carolyn Monroe, and Christopher Plummer. There's one solution left, Starcrag. Starcrag, written PG, rental guidance, and death. Life in the 1970s was much simpler than it is today. We weren't constantly bombarded with technology that seemed to engulf every person we encounter.
Socializing meant going out for a night on the town or even having people over for a gathering. If you think back to the 1970s, there were some distinctive items that you would see in homes and no one sees these things today.
So sit back and let's reminisce together. Today, beadboard or ship lap is very popular for interior decorating, but in the 1970s it was all about wood paneling. It may cover one wall, or it might cover the whole entire room.
The paneling was often made from plywood or pressured fiberboard that was designed to look like real wood. It usually looked fake, but it went along nicely with the earthly fill that most 70s homes had.
If the walls weren't lined with wood paneling, then you would probably see some funky wallpaper. There was an assortment of styles to choose from, but they were mainly sporting geometric shapes and bright contrasting colors.
Textured walls were also something found in homes. They might have been flocked or foiled paper or possibly just textured plaster. But the texture and the colors used in the 70s usually made them irresistible to the touch.
