More retrolicious retro

Posted on Mon, 15 Mar 2010 by midcenturyjo

Wasn’t this picture just in a Swedish interiors magazine? Isn’t that the hottest indie fabric on Etsy? Or was it in the last IKEA catalogue? Of course not. It’s from this week’s retro design book. (Golden Homemakers 100 Ideas to Beautify Your Home, Gudenian Rockail & Mayer, Marshall Cavendish, London, 1972.) So much to love in today’s offerings… and SO much to hate. That bathroom for one. Am I the only one to think the young girl below looks like the angelic psycho child from a bad blood curdling slasher horror film? Perhaps “Revenge of the Interior Designer’s Children Part II”? They’re coming to get you!!!

The little girl and the bathroom are totally freaking me out.

The little girl seems to be screaming at us with her eyes…"PLEASE!!! GET ME OUT OF THIS YELLOW-BEIGE NIGHTMARE!!! DO YOU SEE THE ONE PIECE OF ‘ARTWORK’ THEY LET ME HAVE?! IT HAUNTS MY DREAMS!"

Love the retro shots!

I believe the bathroom is from a hotel I stayed in while tripping through the Mediterranean~LOL!

Jacqui says:

That bottom room is lovely. But oh, the oil-painted boudoir! Seven umbrellas?? Why!?

Leanne says:

I think someone was tripping when they designed that bathroom!!

"All my friends have pink bedrooms. My parents hate me."

Martha says:

When you reload the page the doll in the girl’s bedroom levitates. Reload it again and she’s sitting in that bathroom. In the bidet.
