On the bottom shelf, way, way back ...

... was a dusty volume long forgotten. A treasure trove of retro storage, a book that could just prove that everything old is new again. As I flicked from page to page I was confused. Hadn't I seen these rooms in a recent Inside Out or Elle Decoration? I love finding a long lost book especially when it is Storage, A House and Garden Book, Melinda Davis, Pantheon Books, New York, 1978. Dreaming of moving in to any of these rooms. More next week ... and more after the jump.

Nothing excites me more than a little organization. (or a lot!)
I have this book- the Mr. just brought it home for me from a library sale, and I love it. I want that green and black pantry today, and that black office space. There are certainly a few very dated photos- but the majority stand up well to the test of time.
Dated? Like what? To my eye, it's current!
Where can I find this lovely book? Thanks for sharing,
Ah! I'll take them all cause I love them all
It wasn't all about giant collections of unwashed vegetables & shag carpeting on walls! Taste did exist.
Amazing how current and fresh this looks to me!
Jo...do you know the makers of the pair of white chairs in the 3rd spread? Are they Ligne Roset? I love these images...I guess I live in the past!
MFG I'm not sure. I do know the storage system is by Behr (the book told me so!). I too live in the past. The scary thing is that I'm moving on from the 70s to the 80s. I'm just a little overly concerned about this development though :)
