This is such a bold and interesting palette of color. The combo of brown, orange, apple green, and peachy pink (ceiling!) with brass accents is really cool. The gladiolas are a 50s classic. Published in Ladies Home Journal.

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.)
