[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had wall to wall carpet in the kitchen in yellow, green, orange and brown patterns and pink shag wall to wall in the ensuite! So gross! Went well with the velvet and gold wallpaper I suppose. [/quote]

Sounds groovy!  Do you remember using one of those shag carpet rakes?  Oh, the things that I would find buried in that carpet....[/quote]

Yes, my mom and grandma had shag rakes. We also had a carpet sweeper for the kitchen carpet.[/quote]

Child of the 1970s here!

My chore was to RAKE the shag carpeting...in my bedroom (purple) and in our finished, very groovy basement (orange).  The shag rake was two sided with a wide tooth and narrow tooth side and the entire thing was gold with an embedded glitter paints.  I played with that thing all the time.

We did have wall to wall carpet in our upstairs dining room and kitchen.  Kid bathroom had the tiny 60s tiles but my mom had the three piece matching set; carpet toilet seat cover, bath mat and carpet beneath the toilet with the funky half square cut out so it would fit beneath the toilet.

With the glaring exception of my beloved purple shag carpet in my bedroom, all was positively ugly and revolting and grossly unsanitary.[/quote]
