Hope you've all had a nice weekend. I thought I'd start my blog week by giving you some nice living room interiors from vintage French magazine Art & Décoration, their april issue in 1961 to be specific. The magazines (as a lot of interior books) back then seemed to print mostly black and white photos – due to economics, I guess. But then again, the few full page color images are really a feast for the eye. (The last pic here is an ad, hence the text on it.)I love the use of colors in these rooms. Petrol blue being one of my favorites.

A reminder that the 60's were very good years in design, even French style! Thank you, so fun to see.
Have a great week ahead ~
The thing is that they wouldn't be very out of place in a high-end home magazine right now! It's funny to think that 10 or 15 years ago I would have laughed heartily at the furniture and styling and now I'm all "nice!" and am laughing at the furniture and styling from 10-15 years ago. ;)
So stylish. I've just started watching the Mad Men series, so am saturated in these kinds of colours and interiors. Love it.
