One vintage thing that has disappeared in my lifetime, thank goodness: spray-on accoustic 'popcorn' ceilings (which look more like cottage cheese). Read and hurl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_ceiling
"Cheaper than painting, it could be quickly and easily sprayed on in new construction and was also useful in masking ceiling defects in older homes, such as stains, uneven ceilings or poor workmanship.... Unfortunately, its bright white 'cottage cheese' texture often contained asbestos.... Popcorn ceilings become unattractive when they get dirty, are easily damaged, and are hard to clean, repaint, or repair."
