    I would absolutely love to have these to color in. I’m sure my house obsessed granddaughter would love to help me also!

    Looks fun, I may use them for myself or give them to my friend Barbara who’s a Travel Writer also has a Mid Century. I’m sure she would love them. Thanks for such a great website and tips.

    I love to color, it is a great way to let go of stress. First make copied if the pages and then color away

  6. Brooke says

    Color sure! But also use as patterns to cut out felt and make some awesome MCM embroidery!
    Such a rare find.

  7. Mary Anne Spradlin says

    What a great idea! Love it, would most likely color them myself. Or, better yet, keep them to look at and scan pages to color.

  9. Beth Laughlin says

    I would just love LOOKING at this… much less coloring!! 🙂 I like the idea of scanning the pages… keeping the original pages intact!! Looks like a fantastic set!

    Truth be told I personally love to colt, so in short: Yes, I would color them myself. But, as a mother of five and teacher, I’m always looking for ways to share information.

    My interest in Mid-Century Modern was born on my 50th birthday: April 10, 2104 when we closed on our Jersey Shore 1960 Ranch. I read everything I could get my hands on and together with my friend Kim (who was with me when it was shown) and my daughter (both ladies 26) we dubbed ourselves the “Design Team” and have since gone to work-especially convincing my husband that this was the right move.

    We are mostly there, and our final design term is Mid-Century-modern-Industrial-whimsy!

    I can’t wait to share our home with friends and family, and even renters (we are two miles from the beach/Jenkins Boardwalk in Point Pleasant) and THATS who would get to color–our guests!!

    I would hangtheir “artwork” adding to the “whimsy” of our design.

    I have before pictures-will soon have afters, then learn how to post!

    Maybe they will include coloring book art!
