I came across this Armstrong flooring ad from the Ladies Home Journal, 1939. Check out the lower, left-hand corner. She's so cute, shiny and new!

Oh- the modern kitchen of the day - it has a portable sewing machine and type writer to help the housewife get her daily work done.

I there is a site called retro renovation - lots of info on the 1950s houses.
This one has a pink sewing table: http://antiquehomestyle.com/inside/k...lery/page7.htm

The floor looks like a quilt, too.

Love the ironing board set into the wall.

My mom "collects" Sears houses. That's one of the best websites for information.

My wife looked at the pics and couldn't find the sewing machines. I had to show her.

There were a couple of those I really liked. I think my favorite was the one with the Lazy Susan in the wall between the kitchen and dining area.

That was really fun...especially since my home was built in 1938.

Good eyes! I love the Art Deco period. I think the second kitchen with the huge sink is my favorite. My first house was built in 1946. When I remodeled it I kept the original cabinets in the kitchen and added to them. I also installed linoleum tiles and a sink with the built in drain boards that was more in keeping with the age of the house. The biggest mistake I made remodeling the house was I waited until I was ready to sell it so I didn't get to enjoy it long.
