Decorate to "Groove Your Personality"

Your Own Room

Everything I know about interior design I learned from this book.  

It was given to me by my Mom when I was a preteen.  (in the 60's)

(And if you saw my house, you might say.. "Well, that explains a lot.")

I learned all about color personalities.  I learned to dig jazzy color combos.

I learned about comforting colors and refreshing ones.

I wanted to be a chick that was hip to space!

Cha Cha!

I spent hours moving little furniture rectangles around graph-paper rooms.

I learned that furniture had jivey names  

like Jacobean, Hepplewhite, Windsor and Modern.

I read that adding a few zany pieces would add soul.

I really wanted a room like this shimmering, star studded, "Ballerina bedroom", 

but since I shared a room with my sister, 

the "Two-sister-room-with-privacy" was more practical. 

I loved this book!!

If you have any chickies in your life (10-11-12 year olds) 

a far out guide like this might be the grooviest gift you can give them.

(No, I don't usually talk this way, but the book does.)

I'm joining the Colorado Lady for Vintage Thingie Thursday.
