Shell-chandelier




The classic capiz shell is making a comeback. The shell, which once was all over curtains, pillows and even lampshades, is now featured simply in this chandelier. Elegant in or out of a ’70s-inspired motif. $115, SoHa, 591-9777.



Wall-art

The Wavy Stripe Peel & Stick Wallband in Olive Dust (at right) is the perfect finishing touch to your discotheque. Its far-out waves keep the party in motion. $12, Wal-Mart, Pearl City location, 454-8785.

Star-mirror

The sunburst mirror is outta sight. The throwback design in sturdy metal makes for a geometrically funky wall hanging. $100, Pier 1, Pearl City location, 456-8907.

Chrome-bamboo-lamp

Light up your retro residence with a shiny, Mercury lamp. The vintage shape makes for a much hipper table-top accessory than the Pet Rock. $260, SoHa, 591-9777.



Carpets
Shag-a-delic Home Trends throw rugs, in updated colors and stain-resistant materials, bring the textured ’70s staple into the present. 22 inches by 60 inches. $28.88, Wal-Mart, Pearl City location, 454-8785.

Chair

Relax in your own easy-going orbit in this Satellite chair. The blast-from-the-past design features a fiberglass shell with a soft, comfy leather interior. Large Satellite chair, $1,999, A Furniture World Outlet, 941-3595.
