What a fabulous house – and a great picture – by ThomWatson from Flickr Have you checked out our Flickr Groups: 1950’s Interior and Residential Architecture AND Mid Century Motels! Do you have a photo to share? Put a link in the comments!
Ok, so I finally got over to take photos of my friends completed home…the 2nd of the Trading Spaces houses: The piece of furniture they built! It looks great…not sure if you can see in the picture, but there are lots of little details (like the one on the upper left on the ceiling). It did have a refrigerator and microwave in there, but she has removed it because the kids aren’t allowed to eat
I love this because about 15 years ago I heard one designer refer to this as “spin art” decorating (all the furniture goes along the walls). In a 50’s house tho, I’ve found this to be a much better way of decorating. From the 1950’s Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Binder.
So, I was surfing cool retro mid-century stuff and found this awesome group on Flickr: Mid Century Home Brochures and Ephemera – a little tasty sampler: –
