Does any one have any book recommendations for Late Victorian decor ideas/furniture placement?

Corsetiere, a few topic down (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=327) I posted a link of hundreds of original period pics of interiors and the such. Although B / W pics, it should give you a general idea. The B and B wallpaper site has some great colour pics of restored interiors as well. Google Image is your friend. Hope this helps. For more 'from the period' research, I strongly recommend Hints on Household Taste, Charels Eastlake, Principles of Decorative Design, Christipher Dresser or The House Butifull buy Clarence Cook. Available as E books.

Google image search "1890 parlor" brings up a wealth of stuff. maybe other years substituted would catch more.
