Ugly 1970 Dining Room Sets...

....that exact phrase came up in the search keywords section for this blog. Since I don't want to disappoint anyone, here are some ugly 1970 dining room sets courtesy of Western Auto.

Again with the hideous colonial/early american ugliness, tho I'm not sure that zestful avocado set is much better.




The flavor of old Spain wth a dash of american ingenuity?!! NO. Faux Italian walnut formica. NO. Exciting Spanish avocado?!! NO. ugh.

When the 60s Got UGLY.....

Early American style furniture. blech! I remember my grandparents having some of this crap (sans the hideous pattern) in their living room. They also had a dining room set.

Why on earth would anyone want reproductions of 'authentic colonial furniture' when there was stylish SPACE AGE MODERN furniture available?!!!!

This is much more like it!



I've put up some scans from the 1969/70 fall and winter Western Auto catalog on flickr (click to go there!)
