I find vintage interior decorating books so fascinating -- I love the way they reflect the styles, influences, and aspirations of the time period in which they appear. This one is an amazing display of early 50's middle class American aesthetics. "Today, especially in our American way of life, home decoration is for everybody. Since the cavemen drew pictures on the sides of their caves some ten thousand years ago, the decoration of the home has been important to man. He has gradually developed it as an art, a mark of his civilization and culture... We have no more excuse for drab, uninteresting houses that just grew. We want to make our homes attractive, inviting, and pleasant. What to do? Our common sense, which is the most important ingredient of interior decorating, tells us to find out everything we can about how to improve our homes and then get to work. This book is designed to help you do just that. It is a practical homemaker's book, not a decorator's unbridled flight of fancy. It will not teach you everything there is to know, but it can make a good interior decorator out of you..." - Ladies' Home Journal Book of Interior Decoration - Elisabeth T. Halsey Published 1957, The Curtis Publishing Company/Doubleday & Co, Philadelphia Hardcover. Approx. 8.5x10in. 252pp. In good vintage condition.
