  • Groovy Pad Dad!

    Here is a good book of retro inspired decoration ideas to transform your ordinary living space into something mod wild. Much of it is "Crafty" and inexpensive to do it yourself work. An entertaining coffee table book to browse through. Nothing that anyone couldn't do by use of late 50's-early 70's decorator magazines but an inspiring work. Has some great color pictures and inexpensive solutions for tricky room modifications and transformations. Also includes an area on making your own bar and cocktail drinks that some might find handy...lol. Over all, this book was well worth the money spent (about $4.00 used). I would certainly recommend the use of a few original "signature pieces" to make your living space "your own" and to set the "mood" of the room you are transforming and then, use this book as a guide to your own "Ultra-Living" space. Create, have fun doing it, share and enjoy your new "swanky pad". TCB, Tigerman53 :)
