You know what you just unlock a semi core memory!!!! If I remember correctly my mother asked me while I was going to sleep while she was putting me to sleep if I wanted to change the paneling and like they were doing in their room to be like a white plaster to match their white popcorn ceiling and said no. I think she tried to convince me and I just said no I like looking at the pictures in the woods panel. Whereas my dad would not have listened to me my mom actually respected my wishes and the wood panel remained. 😊

Glamour Shots was a concept where (usually) women would go to a photographic studio and have their makeup done, sometimes accompanied with feather boas and costume jewelry and have photos taken. That was big in the 90s as were one hour photo studios where you could have your picture taken (alone or with friends) and in roughly an hour you’d receive your photos. These were different from traditional portrait studios in that you could dress casually and have fun with the poses.

The Sega Genesis was the underdog video game console. It secured 55% of the video games market at one point. The Sega Saturn was a flop outside of Japan 🇯🇵. It was released too early with a surprise launch which pissed off KB Toys so much that they refused to sell it ever since only stores like Toys R Us and Electronics Boutique, Babbage’s (later merged into GameStop). After about 3.5 years the Sega Saturn only sold about 9 million units. I do remember playing Daytona USA on Sega Saturn display kiosks at Toys R Us. All of my friends and I had either a PlayStation and/or Nintendo 64.

I grew up in New Zealand and remember many different interior design styles in the 90s. Definitely recall the sponge-ing and stencil, but also remember bold single-colour paint jobs, and that oh-so-necessary "feature wall" that was a pointedly different colour from the other walls in the room. Much Baroque and Tuscan influence, dried flowers, draped fabric, golds, deep reds, warm colours, lavender flowers, "deconstructed decadence", French rustic touches, and hardwood floors. I aspired to the more minimalist trend of off-white plasterboard, large tiled atriums, skylights, mezzanine floors, generous patios, and the newly-birthed realtor selling point: "indoor-outdoor flow". I was also fond of the style-blending and grunge-tingled aesthetic in graphic design, throwing mixed fonts and patterns at each other. Much fun.

I was a 90's kid so I remember alot of these. I remember my mom sponge painted her classroom ( she was a kindergarten teacher in the 90's), my mom and grandma had those fake greenery all over their houses. My parents a few years ago repainted their cabinets from oak colors, our trim and tables were the same color. I had a huge TV stand like the one you showed with built in rack underneath that had individual VHS tapes slots built in. My parents still have our big speakers. I had a pair of roller blades but my sister always preferred her roller skates. My parents house still has those bar hanging lights above their fireplace. I got a Playstation in 1999 when I was 8 years old. It blew my mind that I got one because they were very expensive for my family. I had forgot about gel candles my mom had a few.

Before the internet, we used modems and visited dial-up chat boards (like a website). There were chat rooms, forums, games, and best of all, weekly get-togethers at local restaurants and bars. This is how we met 'online' people in a safe place. Epic parties I must say. Every weekend brought 100+ people. I was a system operator for a huge one in Dallas. This is how I met my husband. Back then, I had to explain the concept of online to people. They thought it was weird that we met through a computer. This was 1991. Now it's more common to meet that way.

Another thing I remember from the 90s. I don't know if it's just my region, the coffee shops it was a cool place to hang out. And eating bagels with rage in the 90s. I remember bagel shops in could go anywhere you would find different varieties. Keep up the great work! love and enjoy your continent. Brings back a lot of memories.

Definitely right about the furniture and appliance lasting decades! I was born in 90 and have had the same dresser my entire life. I finally gave it to my son 2 years ago (and my dad gave me his from back then lol) It’s as sturdy and works as well as now as it did back then! My night stand has been in my family since then as well.
