On a recent trip through my local Good Samaritan Thrift Store, I ran across a great book, all about home decor. Now, I always have my eye open for a good, fairly recent book that has great color or design ideas, and I really hit the jackpot that day. Except for the fairly recent part. The book I got was actually published a year before I was born:
I bought it for a song. It was half off the marked price of $1 that day - just fifty cents!
The book inspired me to bring you a series of interesting style coincidences. It is simply intriguing how many of the ideas that the book presented so many years ago are out there in the World of Blog masquerading as new cool ideas, when in actuality, they are old cool ideas. Each weekend, for a little while, I'm going to feature a photo of a great idea from someone's blog and then show the corollary idea from the book. I think it will be fun to see where the ideas originated and how they've been reinvented.

That is so cool, Kathy! Funny how trends/styles come and go and come back again! I can't wait to see more examples! Thanks so much for sharing my guest room! :)
