    I may have to copy a page and then color it myself. I have purchased many Dover series coloring books for adult friends. I used to be able to stretch out on the floor for hours and color with children I babysat but now it is easier sitting at a table! Another option would be to watercolor a couple page copies to frame (maybe even paint outside the lines – gasp) and/or use the images for pillow appliques and inspiration.

    You bet I would color in these books myself!!! I’d even buy a brand new box of crayons to use! As an art student way back when, and a former art teacher…..I know the therapeutic benefits of quietly coloring pictures!!! And MCM pictures….well all the better! And did you notice my initials just happen to be MCM???

    Would love to color pictures of the way my house looked in the 50’s and 60’s. Love all the mid-century modern look, still have some originals.

    Coloring is the best stress-reducer! I color all the time in my Charley Harper coloring books. Will for sure purchase these (and if I am so lucky as to win a set, I’ll give those to someone in need!)

    Would I actually color in these? HECK YEAH!
    And they’ll go perfectly with our ’57 ranch, which is becoming more retro-licious by the minute.
    Would also give one to my Dad, who shares our mid-century mania and delights in appointing his all-original ’59 ranch with the finest atomic-era furnishings and accessories he can find.

    I think these would be fantastic fun to color! You could collage/scrap the pages with fabric our scrapbook paper…that would satisfy my love to color/cut/paste. I can see inspiration for room color schemes and ideas. Even if I don’t win them, I’m definitely going to buy them!
