Wow, here's some fantastic '70s decorating come to life! I woulda killed for this when I was younger, and part of me still LOVES THIS STUFF...

Here's the post from Boing Boing:

My friend Mike Love, newly living in sin, trash-picked an excellent vintage volume from the The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement (1970). Mike was kind enough to post some select pages on Flickr. (More from the same Encyclopedia at the Wee Wonderfuls blog.) Mike's caption for this beautiful boudoir:
The attic bedroom -- the perfect place to lock the doors and trip balls all weekend.

UPDATE: Several readers, including James Lileks, kindly point out that James Lileks's Interior Desecrations online gallery and book from 2000 document this same high point in home decor. Indeed, Mike Love told me that his appreciation for Lileks's earlier work inspired him to post those pages from The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement with the dream of helping inspire an Interior Desecrations renaissance!
