It’s finally the weekend, maybe you’ve heard someone’s throwing a house party and with any luck, your host will have some interesting digs to poke around. Interior design probably has the power to make or break a house party, or at least it used to. Browsing through the kitschiest Tumblr I’ve found on the interweb in a while, it seems the households of yesteryear were all about making sure slumber parties were the best, cocktail hour got off to an electric start and late night shindigs catered to the spaced out party animals. I can’t say I’d want to live in one of these places, but I’d sure like to boogie in them.
