ATOMIC HOME
Author(s): MATHESON WHITNEY
From the glory days of lino-leum and wood panelling to innovations in dishwashers, overs, and washing machines, Atomic Home: A Guided Tour Of The American Dream remembers the fads, fashions, and inventions of the post-war American dream home. With the war over, soldiers returned home to an unprecedented time of prosperity; the family home, with its white picket fence, became the status quo. Suburbs boomed and keeping up with the Joneses became a way of life for wives and weekend home-improvement warriors. Brimming with vintage illustrated advertisements depicting the "latest" in furniture, bathroom designs, and much more, Atomic Home offers cultural commentary and design inspirations for an era that defined the modern family dwelling.
