    I grew up in this midcentury world and as far back as I can remember I loved it. Not the attitude, or a certain degree of exclusiveness, but the beauty of the interior design. I would love to revisit that world and color it.

    I sit down to color with my son every day. I can only color so many pictures of dinosaurs and trains. Please, please send me a reprieve – I would love these coloring books!

  5. Lois Bunch says

    I would color in two of the coloring books, but preserve the third. I would use only mid-century colors.

    I LOVE YOU GUYS! 🙂 I would really LOOOVVEEE those coloring books I’m 25, but still love to color! Pleeease?!?!

    I would love to own these. Would I color them? Oh ya. Nothing is more relaxing. Good luck, eveeryone. Thanks for a fun contest.

    I love, love, love to color! Most of the time, I even stay in the lines (LOL). I buy coloring books for myself whenever I buy them for my grands. This is one thing that we can do together that doesn’t require an expensive video game. Coloring is relaxing and helps the time to fly by.

    If I am chosen, I would color most of the images myself and set aside some of them to color with my 15 yr old grand-daughter. Yep, making sure the generation to come appreciates Retro style.

    Come to think of it, if I don’t share my passion with her, all she will have to call “retro” will be the styles of today – how terrible! Not all are “bad” but, most are so “cookie cutter” that they have no depth or beauty. Oh well! To each his own.

    I would totally color in these myself! I haven’t colored in ages, but it does help to free the creativity. I also just love the concept of these books and so glad that they were curated.
