Decorating With Vintage Ikea Catalog Covers

A great inexpensive way to decorate any space is by using vintage advertising.  For instance, one could utilize framed vintage Vogue covers for a dressing room or powder room and old Norman Rockwell illustrations from Philadelphia's own Saturday Evening Post for nearly any other type of room. What you probably wouldn't expect me to suggest are old Ikea catalog coves. Guess again. I stumbled upon a full list of catalog covers from the Swedish furniture giant from 1951 - 2014. My favorites come from the early years as posted here, but to see the entire collection, head over to Home Designing. It's almost like a walk through the history of cheaply made, but stylish furnishings. Sweedish meatballs not included.
