You always knew houses with smokers and without. Hit you walking in the door and put a sepia tint on reality - walls, popcorn ceiling, all kinds of shit. But what kids today will never know:
Plastic covered furniture. People covered their couches and easy chairs with plastic. it was wild.
Google it, people had fitted plastic covers made for all their furniture. I don’t know if anyone ever took the covers off “oh the pope is coming over let’s go all out” attitude but it was a distinct thing.



at least with the china she’s already getting out the dishes. with the plastic, I have no idea how long it would take to strip the furniture, but it’s not a quick process lol. it was so strange.
