1962 Decorating and Fashions

The May 1962 Family Circle Magazine had an article on the latest decorating trends. This wallpaper is AMAZING. It could be a Modern Quilt design inspiration.

 Orange and black. Blue and green.

 Colonial was the alternative to Modern. Complete with a quilt of course.

Traditional looking but with an interesting combination of patterns that would look very contemporary today.

A plainer look, more masculine, simple and elegant.

Clothing styles were also featured. I would love to get my hands on the floral daisy print in this dress!

 Simplicity sewing patterns

 A name I recall from long ago, Ship N Shore.

The March 1962 Family Circle has so much I love. There is an article with Edith Head offering wardrobe advice. Head outfitted many a Hollywood movie actress including  Mae West, Audrey Hepburn, Kim Novak, and Elizabeth Taylor.
