July 1959. House & Home magazine gives an insightful look at what was happening in housing trends during the post war boom era in suburban home construction. Plenty to see under the cut...
Bookmarked, an opportunity to revisit some of the triumphs, follies and ideas from decor publications and books from the past. If you've got a great decor photo/image or design idea from an out-of-print source, please send it to la(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com, including the title and publication information.
*Apologies for the poor scans. The magazine was printed at a wider format than my humble scanner.

I think it's so interesting to see these old pictures. There are many ideas which are only slightly changed today and still look great. Fun stuff.
Funny, I grew up in a 1957 model home in Houston...Had virtually every "trend" pictured here.
I LOVE these pictures. I have always wanted a house with some of these features. My grandparents house (built in 1957) was very trendy for it's time because my grandfather was a builder and developer and it was his "show house" of sorts. I guess I will be spending my life trying to find something similar.
