Color schemes of 1965 — so daring! Look at those swatches. Could you imagine the orange/brown/green pattern spread out over a colonial revival home? That blue and yellow is already pretty ballsy.

Look at the little ornaments on the sidetable. Chinoiserie influenced?

My curiosity about this Jay Poole guy is aroused. 

Of course, the best part about this ad: Blanche’s hair.
