Some of them would still look fantastic in a home. I spied my first chrome kitchen set in one of them.

Thanks for posting that teacats. I love looking at retro homes! Some of the illustrations remind me of the old ( and to me beloved) Dick and Jane books.

Oh teacats, thank you - I loved it!

Thanks for posting this! My neighborhood is from the 1930s and 1940s, and many of the details are so familiar in the drawings! I've been searching for old photos for design inspiration, and this is very helpful.

We still have a lot of original baths and kitchens in the neighborhood. My hall bath, in fact, has the period tile (although we put in a different floor -- herringbone marble from another era -- I just don't like black and white check -- it is so hard to maintain. And vintage sheet flooring can be a lot to handle.

Couple of things I noticed: wood floors are a rarity in the collection and subway tile is nowhere to be found. I see glass fronted cabinets and white kitchens, however.

The LR in the link below, from 1936, could very well fit in today.
