The Doubleday Book of Interior Decorating and Encyclopedia of Styles
Kornfeld
1965
The examples in this book look even older than 1965. The more contemporary designs are from the 60s, but they feature several that look much older.
There is a whole section on how to panel a room, as well as a bathroom with a pink tub-sink-toilet trifecta. In fact many of the images below seem to have a pink tint to them and I can’t tell if the pages are faded with age or if everything was just sort of rosy back then.
I interlibrary loaned this book from a public library in Michigan, and when I opened the cover it absolutely wreaked of 1965. Dusty and stale, like grandma’s basement. I hope that library weeded it upon its return.
