50's Homes Sound Scary

During the 1950s houses were so different compared to ones today. Many of them contained popular colors such as pastel, Scandinavian, and moderns.

Kitchens were usually had lots of pastel cabinets, floors, tables, chairs, and soaps. 

While 50's bathrooms had tiled pastel and accented dark colors. 

Others had red or colored carpets and brick walls in their living rooms. 

It seemed that every room had to have a window and were smaller in size for a family home. 

The 1950's style homes were built with wood shake or wood shingle roofs. The bathrooms were built to be indestructible. 

These house had great charm and charisma when just gazing at them and the neighborhoods were well established too. 

It is said that houses during this era were more affordable to middle and lower classes than the newer ones.

One thing I have to say is they kept their houses and front yards spotless and kept them looking amazing. 

Compared to our houses today the 50's houses were much more simpler and made sure to have lots of colors. 

The average cost to buy a house in this era was around $2,990 through $7,400 for median incomes. 

Most of these houses were commonly built in the suburbs and wanted to have children in a good and fun environment. 

Within the mid 1940's it was known there was a shortage of houses and this was because of the war at that time. 

It was all the funding that went to World War II that messed the economy up and left people to have limited food and be left with little to no houses to buy.

Marilyn Monroe Mask 50s

This is a stunning Marilyn mask for those who love the 1950’s! The mask has a quote directly from when this famous actress was alive and has her signature red lip. They made this item out of cotton and has a black background. They included her bleach blonde hair and with winged eyeliner. My mother has this exact same mask and she wears it everywhere. It reminds me of when she got her Marilyn soap bottle that she got in her bathroom. She loves all items that consist of this actress.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.

What Was Valentine's Day Like in the 1950s

Many people in this era loved Valentine's Day not only because was it is a fun holiday but it is a celebration of love! Everything was decked out for this fun day with Valentine creations such as small decorations, valentine cards, hanging hearts in store windows, and more!
