From Decorating For You by Florence B. Terhune, 1944.
This illustration shows that, although many people associate a very streamlined and modern look with this period, it was only one small option out of many. Most typical homes were not done in this style. They may have had small elements and flairs of modern style thrown in, but extreme modern styling was not the norm for your everyday home.

The Modern Life is a blog about American culture from roughly the 1930s through the 1960s. The point is to give a glimpse into the everyday life, doing my best to be historically accurate and avoiding fabricated and stereotyped current views of a past that never was.
