How did living room furniture look in 1936?

patterns would have to do with how up to date the house was--just like now, people have hold-overs from previous generations. \n\na big console radio would probably be the centerpiece, if the family had a little money. otherwise, it would be the fireplace. probably, there would be some art deco stuff. also, crocheted doilies on the backs of wingback chairs from earlier eras. my grandma had lots of those oval braided rugs. \n\ni found this site: http://www.niagaraniagara.com/bampfield-breakfast.html\n\nby google-image search "1930s decor" --you'll get more ideas by going there. http://images.google.com/images?q=1930s+decor&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=0&sa=N

1940s or 50s. I LOVE the fashion from that era and could have so much fun playing dress-up. It would also be interesting to see how life was when my grandmother was "in her prime."

Zippers were first used in men's trousers in 1937.

Two Beds and a Coffee Machine by Savage Garden. I did it for a project in HS too!

You would take the area of the main rectangular part of your living room.  (l x w) 12.5 x 21.5 = 268.75.  Then add in the smaller rectangle at the top. (l x w) 1.5 x 9.5 = 14.25.  Then add the area of the left over triangle.  (1/2 l x w) .75 x 2.5=1.875.  Then add all three areas together. Total = 284.875

What kind of place? A room? A town? A country? \n \nex.\n\n    The living room was the friendliest room in the house. The furniture worn and covered with knitted afghans, hiding the thread bare patches from excessive use. Shelves lined the narrow walls filled with books and a layer of dust. Music wafted from an old turntable, mixing with the faint smell of pipe tabacco in the air.\n\nI dunno if that helps at all, but descriptive means to describe. And paragraphs aren't very long, unless specified otherwise.

LOL! Not only clutter, but boxes of newspaper, glass & cans  for recycling, bags of books, piles of clothes - I just bought an ironing board. Old oven. New oven. Ashtrays. Only two dead trees hiding behind the couch. (OK, maybe I could live without the dead trees, fair enough, point taken!)\n\nBathroom is tidy & fresh tho'. \nHall is OK. Or - no, a bit dusty. One suitcase lurking there has turned into a table for leaflets. How did that happen? \nAnd doors are clean, no coffee splashes. \nPatio furniture is way due a wash & oiling. \nA load of plates waiting for the dishwasher, but I just had friends over for dinner. \nUm, the washing machine is spotless? \nMy knife block looks good? \nCDs all over the couch, but computer desk is neat?  \nWhat can I say - I guess I have no illegal alien cleaners to declare in this residence <g>

Used to be aluminum. Some are acrylic now.

Yes, that is true.  Our house had the first color tv set in the neighborhood.  I remember adults talking about that peacock.

Depends on size and location as it does today.. I remember seeing advertisements for the Sears Home Kits.. From $800-$2400 circa 1910.

tube top and cut off jean shorts with jelly shoes.\n\n80's style looks more clean and actually had some trend to it. \n\nWhite trash is slutty, dirty, trailer park wear.

It probably had a bad experience as a youngster . Does it feel safer once hidden or isn't the sofa large enough to conceal it's tusk.\n\nI would love to see your friends living room.

i bought a house built circa 1880. its definitely got a lot of character, but its a fixer-upper. but, as long as theres nothing structurally wrong with the house, you should be ok. i've got a lot of connections with plumbers/conctruction and stuff because my dad works with them as an electrician. so, i chose to get more, but have to work on it. generally with newer homes you get less, but its done and in perfect shape. and with condos, theres no work at all to be done, but theres fees.

Dad had a 8'x15' walk in gun case.  Naturally, I wasn't allowed to touch much of those until I was older.\n\nAlso, the dumbwaiter and the ironing board that came out of the wall were cool.
