The 1950s saw the rise of American pop culture amongst the backdrop of economic expansion, nuclear anxiety and social conservatism. With the restraints of the new conservative nature of the times, furniture and textile designers were taking their cues from the uprising of the younger generation who were participating in a rebellion of their own. The designers were working hard to create a new home which gave its owners simplicity in every form but amongst a dynamic-hued palette. The modern design schemes came in the form of space-age colors such as bright red and gold, blue and green, Scandinavian harvest gold and avocado green and also soft pastels of pink, light yellow, sky blue and turquoise. Black and white checkerboard floors and white or brightly colored walls were a popular backdrop to show off the new colors.

Very interesting post. Your own web site is swiftly turning out to be certainly one of my favorites.
The heart of your writing while appearing reasonable in the beginning, did not work perfectly with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but just for a short while. I however have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one might do nicely to help fill in those gaps. In the event that you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.
