PIP post: the 90s!

[pitterwoo]

procrastination and sleep deprivation have lead me to it.  Share pictures of 90s decor that you really remember from that time or things you had.

Star and moon decor and CANDLES, geese that had holiday outfits, and eclectic-grunge coffee shop decor a la Friends.

[pitterwoo]

inflatable furniture for hanging out with friends in your bedroom/dorm and the "craftsman" everything, but especially futon

[pitterwoo]

Cows! Sunflowers!  Even better together!  Country whimsy and farm animal decorative touches cluttering every surface and switchplate.

[pitterwoo]

this is like drinking alone, so fun but also sad. are you all asleep?

This thread is going to be hilarious. It's already pretty good! Thank you for starting it.

How about this type of light fixture?

[ktzmoh]

OMG moons/stars and cows! so 90s. When I think of 90s decor, I think of dorm rooms with ultra slick new mac computers

[pitterwoo]

oh yes, I would have just died to have one of those!

[sierramist03]

Pretty sure my 90s decor was a poster of JTT

I've got a wallpaper contribution:



This is *actual* wallpaper from the first place we lived when we got married.

I was a kid in the 90s, so I only had influence in one room of the house.

I had these sheets:


And a bed like this:

Teal, mauve, and gray (sometimes black) with shiny gold accents. Brush strokes and paint splatters.

OMG this is hilarious. my parents living room looked scarily identical to this up until about 4 years ago when my sis and I gave it a complete makeover!

This is how I remember the 1980s.

Yeah, that was 80s decor in my neck of the woods. 

The best of the 1990's was hunters green, honey oak, brass, farm-animal knick knacks, plaid couches, etc. in our area...

[clementine]

Ick! A lot of this stuff seems like 80's to me, but maybe people still had it around in the 90's. The 90's were not a good decade for decor, music, or fashion. Of course that won't stop it from all coming back into style again one day!

I'm thinking massively oversized furniture - like armoires, faux painting, sage green, southwest and celestial themes, vintage posters, curio coffee tables, a resurgance of Mission style. Also, furniture with limewash and wormholes. Everybody I knew in the early 90's had the Broyhill Fontana furniture in their homes. Also, Shabby Chic started to catch on during the 90's. Talk about a trend that endures!

I was at the salon yesterday and People had a feature on what JTT is up to now. I turned the magazine to the girl and was like, "OMG! Do you remember him? He was so hot!" and she was like, "Who? Oh, yeah, maybe I remember him. Was he in that handyman show? I think I've seen it on Nick at Night." Grumble, 18 year olds, grumble grumble.

I went over to a neighbor's house a couple years ago and it looked like this! That was my first thought when they opened the door: "wow, '90s"

[tarheels]

How has nobody said Laura Ashley?

The pattern on the far left was my high school bedding.



This was my middle school bedding:



Do you remember these tables and toppers? Yep, had this in my room with the matching ruched lamp shade!


And even though it was '80s, since I'm on a roll, this was my elementary bedding (the last time pink, my mother's choice, appeared )

[Susie]

This was my 90s bedding:

Laura Ashley Bramble.  Ah memories.  The comforter is still floating around; we use it to pad furniture when we're moving it

Also, when I think of 90s, this is the house that immediately comes to mind:


I wish I could find better pics of the interior.  Watching the show I just kept thinking, wow, decor!

Ivy everything:



Wallpaper boarders in every room:

Ha! My dad has ivy wallpaper in his dining room. It was put up in 1993, I think.

[bunnymendelbaum]

Brass bed & a precious moments collection.

[bunnymendelbaum]

Dang it. Photos won't load.

[april37]

I had a precious moments collection! I think what I remember most is that my mom stenciled boarders on all the walls.

Faux painting:



Stencils:

Our house was built in the mid 90s. Forest green carpet, brass, forest green walls, and wallpaper borders galooooore! White tile with dark gray grout, too.

I had the exact same couch and love seat in 1990!

[emoflamingo]

1) ktzmoh, I was SO CLOSE to making my H buy me one of those at a garage sale. For $40. But I said "no, I have a computer, I do not need it." But I wanted it. Bad. My HS had that blue color. SOOOOO cool.

2) My dad's kitchen STILL has cows and sunflowers. He does not decorate and it's how my mom decorated it. It's a timewarp, because there is still a calendar from 2006 up too.

3) I remember these as a 1970s-to-1990s hold out in my grandma's kitchen - I saw some at a thrift store and almost bought them because they made me laugh:



Also:

I had accent walls before accent walls were cool. Two bright blue, two sky blue. With glow-and-the-dark stars on the ceiling and then these on the walls:

 

[starlily]

I plead guilty to possessing an abundance of floral patterned items and celestial themed knick knacks. I even recall purchasing a perfume or eyeshadow palette named "Sun Moon Stars." #shameface

[aweilba]

Omg this is wonderful.  I totally had that hot pink inflatable chair.

Pretty sure my 90s decor was this poster on my wall: 



This, combined with a Nirvana poster on the inside of my closet because my mom didn't like to look at it, but I refused to take it down.

[UMaineTeach]

The 90s were diverse for me since it was Kindergarten - 9th grade. So it's hard to nail down.
there were Hanson, JTT, ZTB, BSB, Devon Sawa posters


there were raspberry and hunter green throw pillows


there were teal and purple accents - I didn't like basketball at all, but I wanted this jacket so badly because it was purple and teal!

I begged my parents to get a teal ford windstar

speaking of Leo
I also made a kick ass Romeo and Juliet collage that hung in my room for-ever, featuring all 5 acts laid out in a timeline.
