Flickr Find: 1962 Glidden Ad

Clown masks, ladders, gigantic butterflies, ruffles, canopies and beige, beige, BEIGE -- all to be had in these fun ads from Glidden circa 1962.

Flickr member jackie121467 has this and a slew of other Glidden Ads which definitely show that not all looks can stand the test of time. Equal parts Leave It to Beaver and Flowers in the Attic this ad shows what many of us may have missed growing up in a later decade.

Still, we are a quite fond of the dark wood chair with the high back. Nice!

Wow, I think we have those twin beds (or something quite similar). They belonged to my brothers-in-law when they were kids, and somehow we managed to inherit them. They're stackable, to create bunkbeds. We use 'em in the guest bedroom.

wow, i'm reasonably sure my father had that bed, who then passed it to my brother.
