House & Garden Magazine in the 50's


I really love taking inspirations from vintage
magazines as well. This is one of my favorite
issues of House & Garden magazine in the late
50's. It had an unsual number of color photos
for a magazine of it's time because it was a
special color issue :)



Feast your eyes!



A totally pink and girly living room.



I love the platter ware and how
they are in the shape of cabbages.





Bathroom inspiration.



A Japanese Zen inspired modern room.
Looks like some things don't change much.



Something a bit more colorful.


They knew how to use shiny fabrics
back then to upholster for a sharper
more modern look. It's back in trend
as we speak.



This photo doesn't have such great quality
but I really liked the color scheme.






Hot pink diva rug!





Love the way the pink sofa goes with
the black lacquered credenza.



Definitely not afraid to use color!
Love the rug!



And great inspiration for chairs of all kinds!
Any favorites from this blast from the past?

All photos from House & Garden magazine.
