Since I have my 1947 Home & Garden’s Interior Decorating book out, here’s another lovely image from the era that nicely combines the elements of traditional and budding mid-century modern design. Although there are so many different genres represented in this picture, they work together really well. Partially, this is because all of the furniture lines are really clean, leaving the accents to add the eclectic flair.
BTW, the Mercedes Benz topped lamp? I didn’t know they were ghetto fabulous back in 1947!
