Grey walls, silver walls, Renate Müller, and two lucky kids

How fantastic are these two kids' rooms? I love how the walls are neutral (relatively, and awesome neutrals) and everything else is so colorful. Nice backgrounds for objects, and these kids have some great objects.

 The top poster-filled, fabric-lined dojo is German, 1974, from a book called How to Decorate Without Going Broke. (ironically you'd go broke if you bought that Renate Müller rhino today.) The bottom soft sculpture fantasia is from the book Children's Rooms and Play Yards (1980). (available here) And yes, that's a plush ashtray with a smoldering cigarette.
