Interior Decorating Week – Day #4

Yes, I know it’s Friday and I’m on day 4, but that’s just the way it is. Today’s selection is Use of Color in Interiors by Albert O. Halse, McGraw-Hill, 1978. Second edition. this book has lots of color wheels and things like that, but I only scanned the actual pictures of interior decoration. Frankly, I wonder what people were on then, because so much of this is so awful. Just take a look at this ceiling.

Orange was a popular color for libraries. The exact opposite of soothing.

We used to have a chess set like this, except the pieces were white and blue. My parents bought it in Mexico and my brother broke the board many years later. I was going to make a wooden board but never got around to it.
