Just look at all of the goodies on the front of this book! It is Popular Art Deco: Depression Era Style and Design by Robert Heide and John Gilman. This book is chuck full of amazing Art Deco items.
It has wonderful sections like home living, putting on the Ritz, and Florida style.
Even Hubby wants a turn with the book before it is returned to the library!
Here is another fabulous Art Deco book that my son was kind enough to bring home from the library for me this week. What a guy!
It is Art Deco Tableware by Judy Spours. This book has a full page photo about every other page or so of the most fabulous Art Deco tableware pieces. It provides an easy to understand history of the different British Domestic Ceramics between 1925 and 1939.
These two books inspired me to spiff up the blog. The header and border buttons are Art Deco clip art pieces from the Dover Publishing Company. I used more homey ones, because that's what my place is like.
Thanks for the info! I just clicked over to our library system site and reserved a copy of Popular Art Deco. Looks like a wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I bet you spend hours pouring over the pictures inside. I would.
ReplyDeleteCool. I need to order some books like these! thanks for reccommending Little Dorrit! I can't wait till my next disc arrives. (I fast forward it over some of the villians!) :)
ReplyDeleteBoth books look amazing! Art Deco is, hands down, my favorite period in art and design. :) I'll have to hunt these books down asap! Your blog "spiff" looks fantastic!
