NY Times Book of Interior Design & Decoration

9 years ago

Circa 1976

All these rooms are probably 40+ yrs old.

IMO... they could still stand up to today w/minimal tweaks if needed.

Yes, they could and I love every single one. Any time I see your name, I know I am going to be in for a treat when the camera icon is on the right of your post.

Yes indeed!!!

So many of these would need very minimal changes -- BUT seeing these photos makes me realize "What Goes Around -- Comes Around" again!!!! :)

Wonder if any number of today's young groovy designers own this book? Hmmmmmmm ......

Thanks for another wonderful posting!!! :)

Wow, the rooms are beautiful. I love all of them but the yellow living room next to last is my favorite.

Thanks for the eye candy!

*drools over all the rooms* I can't pick out a single thing that needs to be 'updated.' They just don't have that kind of look. This style is what I'm aiming for. ...but its going to be a while...
