Inspiring Interiors from Armstrong 1950s
Editorial Reviews Book Description Ideas, ideas, ideas... they filled the rooms highlighted in 1950s advertising by Armstrong, the leading maker of flooring and ceiling products. Here you will find over 250 photographs of room interiors that appeared in popular magazines from the '50s, inspiring the looks we now associate with that decade. Each one offers new decorating ideas that set the standard for the 1950s with furniture, floor coverings, accessories, and home improvements. Examples include a boys' bedroom that can reflect changing interests as the boys grow into their teens, a living room whose interior can be converted from summer to winter decor in just an hour, and a den with a "secret life" as a guest room. These were refreshingly new ideas in the 1950s and are still practical today. If you want a crash course in imaginative interior design of the 1950s, this is the book you must have. About the Author Gene Moore retired as director of public relations for Armstrong World Industries, Inc., after thirty-seven years with that corporation. He and his wife, Jan, make their home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, site of Armstrong's international headquarters.
