Draper, Dorothy. Decorating is Fun! How to Be Your Own Decorator. First Edition. 1939. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—jacket remains bright and attractive but shows chipping to the spine ends.
With its cheerful pink-striped cover, this classic primer on interior decoration rivals Ogden Codman’s The Decoration of Houses and Elsie de Wolfe’s The House in Good Taste. It is one of the essential books on the subject. Draper, who designed some of the most memorable projects of the mid-Twentieth Century, uses line drawings, case study photographs, and a slew of memorable aphorisms to emphasize her points. Includes chapters on color, living rooms, wood & upholstered furniture, dining rooms, and much more. Would make a great gift for a friend who has recently embarked on a home decorating project.
