We had in our 50's living room wood floors with a piece of linoleum centered like an area rug. It was patterned as such also. We had curtains with large leaf designs and in later in the 60's some cheap plastic curtains with a design printed on them. People were not spending money on imported furniture from Denmark in the farming country where I grew up. That was probably way more the norm since the bulk of any population are not wealthy. coopercapershttp://originaldustbunny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005975785081598782.post-40677378387942814472013-03-05T19:40:31.783-08:002013-03-05T19:40:31.783-08:00To each his own I guess.

It can be tasteful and doesn't need to look like a shabby fraternity lounge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066930362780214860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005975785081598782.post-67936020139727963562013-03-05T14:55:07.528-08:002013-03-05T14:55:07.528-08:00While I appreciate what you are saying the furnitu...While I appreciate what you are saying the furniture shown is more representative of my grandparents home built in the 30's than any of my parents modern residences. If I had to come home to the stuff you've shown I'd be couch surfing with friends.<br /><br />My house was built in 64 which is the same year my couch was made in Denmark so I feel good about it. Not that I begrudge anyone going a different route with the above but it would depress me terribly. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
