home decor - things I could relate to - but I can tell you right now we never had kitchens like these in
my circles.....................check out these photos from House Beautiful
Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies?
LOVE LOVE LOVE that wallpaper..............timeless?
Here is a room that quickly comes to life with a few well-chosen pieces of furniture and some bright accents. Because all interior surfaces are wood, there is a natural built-in warmth. Folding louvered doors provide a colorful frame for the compact kitchen recess. Featured in the May 1962 issue
I am really liking that Niche - and how you can simply close it off when entertaining.
This kitchen was deliberately planned as an entertaining center. It makes the most of the modern, and easy-to-clean technology (at least for that time). Necessary work areas disappear behind folding doors for easy clean-up and entertaining. Featured in the February 1962 issue
How cutting edge this must have seemed - 2 colors - love the contrasting black cupboards below
Dear Suzan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to find your blog. My father designed kitchen #1. He was an architect and an interior designer. He would have loved the comment about Dorris Day and Rock Hudson, but he always said design was for EVERYONE! The solid color,pattern and straight and then broken lines are what often punctuated his designs. He wanted folks to know that they too could create spaces with these elements! Happy browsing!
Best,
Emily
