The old adage is true: It's what's on the inside that counts. Just ask any '70s homeowner or Gen X kid who grew up around wooden paneling, avocado green appliances, and shaggy carpet lining the floors, walls, and even the top of their toilet.
From sunny kitchens to the depths of conversation pits, here are 15 pics of groovy interiors from houses built in the 1970s.
