• A cheery 1945 kitchen to mark month’s end

    Just a sweet and simple 40s “American” kitchen today. In my recent survey, readers asked for more from the 40s. This photo is a great example: Sweet, clear colors that are very much of the era…the cabinets, still simple and white… And as we’ve discussed before, notice the not-all-that-subtle use of patriotic red-white-blue color scheme. In this case accented by clean yellow and green.

    A very cheerful crayola kitchen for a country emerging from hard times. As the copy says:

    For a good start to happiness, start your plans now.
