I am putting a lot of reading time into bedrooms of late, due to the fact I want to do Master Little 2’s room as retro as I can. And it’s a lot harder than I thought, I can only find a little info and even fewer pic’s, so putting it all together this is what I’ve found out.
Australians were well behind the time and often did not want to let go of the past designs. While plain bold colours were being used it was not unusual to find much patterned carpet, often in floral, of a busy patterned curtain or armchair.

Late at night after the childern have gone to bed I hide in the bathroom and try to put pincurls in my hair. I am slowly starting to get the hang of it but alas the weather is not with me. With all the rain we are having it's raised the hummidity and it's killing my hair do's.
