I love color, which is why the 1970s is one of my favorite eras. I just love looking through old interior design books\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand while the 50s and 60s offer midcentury chic at it’s finest, the 1970s is like Mad Men on acid. TOO MUCH FUN! (erm…..the interiors….not Mad Men on acid.) I have several design books and The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement<\/em> (whew! say that 10x fast) is one of the best. It’s a multi volume collection of style. Be prepared to have your mind blown….

Which were your favorites?? I’m loving the lime green…the lucite…the built-ins in that bedroom with the green TV (LOVE) and then there is THE BED. Which is terrifyingly fab! And you??<\/p>\n
