Karpen Furniture had some nice rooms illustrated in magazines like House Beautiful and American Home during the 1920s. The company tended to specialize in traditional furnishings which the majority of home owners wanted. This room leans toward the 18th C. Colonial style. (I'm building a collection of 20th C. American residential images and articles at Antique Home & Style.)

If you live in Lisbon, and you've lost a brown Siamese cat... Is this him? He seems to be someone's pet that got lost, because he's nice and friendly. He's in good health, he's been fed, and he's usually spotted near the streets Caetano Alberto and Desidério Beça.

One hallmark of the 'teens and early 20s was the sanitary style in kitchens. Easy maintenance with particular attention to cleanliness as well as improved efficiency were the order of the day. This Armstrong kitchen ad was offered in conjunction with a publication by their interior advisor, Frank Alvah Parsons (after whom Parsons School of Design is named).

Here's my new favorite kitchen. This transitional kitchen with its small wood stove and icebox are classic. The floor appears to be linoleum. The pale blue, green, and buff scheme are very soothing. Note the painted designs on the cabinets ... very popular at the time. See Antique Home & Style for this and other kitchen color schemes.

Articles, reviews, tons of before & after photos, house restoration and interviews for the house obsessed. Get inspired!

Red, white, and blue color scheme. This came out of an old scrap book for a home ec assignment c. 1930 so I have no idea where it came from. So cute ... love that fridge. Check out Antique Home & Style to see a gallery of 1920s kitchens.

Kitchens during the 1920s ranged from the dainty to the brzenly colorful. It's a decade of gorgeous illustration and manufacturing innovation.
