Maybe if they added macrame to those hanging planters, they could take it all the way. I grew up in the 70s, btw.

That style is in a revival renaissance, I've seen quite a lot of new decor like that lately. All styles are eventually recylced in some form. I actually think its kinda cool. It wasn't so much the actual style but how colors were used that made a lot of decor from the late 60s through early 80s off putting. I mean who decided that throwup pea green and orangy brown nasty were great colors to use? With the right coloration the actual decor and furniture designs are not bad.
