apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Luckily for us, we no longer have to dig through old issues at antique shops and thrift stores - now we can peruse the past from the comfort of our own home. Google has recently launched the Life magazine photo archives in a searchable online gallery. Many of these images haven’t been seen for years. Time Inc., the former publisher of Life, has said that probably more than 95 percent of the Life photo archives were never published in the magazine.

The images can be printed for free as long as they are not being used for monetary gain. So go ahead, take a look down memory lane – we guarantee you'll be amazed by the timeless design and style found in these images.

Tip: Try a search with “Modern Homes” or "Modern Design".
