heat of the jungle

I'm in love with my recent $1.25 book score:

The Complete Basic Book of Home Decorating has been stimulating my 1960s deprived eyeballs. I'm seriously motivated to incorporate some of these"basics" from circa 1976.
This opulent rosy feline bedroom is among my favorite concept looks:

description: Teens with tiny rooms might consider the airy chic of wicker furniture. This small room becomes a real den with the wildlife running riot on the walls and floor. The brilliant color combination of marigold and shocking pink, cuts the apparent size and adds to the intimacy. Desktop and accessories in stark white cut cool down the heat of the jungle.

A few inspired pieces:

Oh my goodness that is DIVINE!! And when I say divine, I mean John Water's "Divine." Just kidding. I am obsessed with old decorating books and magazines from the 60s and 70s, my grandmother's basement is a treasure trove of old Town and Country, BHG, Vogue, etc mags. Film really does have so much more texture and you can really see it in this pre-digital image. This is great and it's filled with a Valentine's Day color palette to boot!
