Description
As a salute to Texas family life during the week of Sept. 21-27, the Retail furniture Association members in Fort Worth had on display the newest furnishings and decorations. Attached quotation, "Do you wonder why home fashions change? Why even the period pieces that your grandparents favored have been modified rather that preserved intact?... First consider the size of the home your parents or grandparents lived in. Even among families of moderate income in their time, most homes included a room specifically for dining. Such space would be considered a luxury today. Open floor plans and the combination of living and dining rooms are commonplace due to high cost construction and the more practical considerations of upkeep in a home without servants... The demands of space , a changing pace of life and wishes of homemakers for practical units of furniture to serve their needs have been major factors leading to the acceptance of mid-century modern as the leading home style today."
