Dieser Pulli hat mich total begeistert, als ich ihn im Buch "Japan" von Marianne Isager gesehen habe! Der musste natürlich her! Und so habe ich ihn mit "Isager Garn Bomuld (pinkes Garn)" und "Isager Garn Viscolin (grünes Garn)" gestrickt!             Fotoshootings können aber auch sehr anstrengend sein! ;-))

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.)

Published in American Home Magazine. Karpen advertised their furniture in House Beautiful, American Home, and other shelter magazines during the 1920s. This eclectic living room has some decidedly Deco elements like the streamlined furniture shapes and especially the upholstery of the chair in the foreground. This is very "modern" for Karpen which generally tended to show more traditional furnishings. It uses a tetrad of muted red, purple, yellow, and green ... a very sophisticated color scheme.
