    This was fun…

  2. April Quinn on April 26, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    I love 50s lifestyle 😭😭😭

  3. E K on April 26, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    So much exposition and build up. Get on with it!

    Does the Colorizer Album come in PDF format? Asking for a friend.

  5. michael bonaiuto on April 26, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    we dont have color choices in appliances anymore

  6. Blair L. on April 26, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    It’s all very… proper

  7. Darren Tsai on April 26, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    i was planning to buy a house and never told anyone, and youtube recommended this to me.

  8. PoptheBubble ChartLeaks on April 26, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    I guess I didn’t quite realize how dark and 70s like the 50s color schemes were.

    Others: I wish I could go live in this era
    Me: That kitchen is fucking ugly, thank god I don’t live in a time where Salmon is considered trendy

    This so charming and naive…. I miss that simple time.

  11. Anita Hendricks on April 26, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    I love how she is dressed. To buy paint no less.

  13. K.S. BF405 on April 26, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    This is quite fabulous! I wish I had that book. Everything would still be in style today, except for actually having carpet, and the Formica countertops. But Mid-century modern is totally in fashion today. That’s why I am here for ideas! Yay!

  14. SmittenKitten on April 26, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    Pinterest color palettes today are white with a splash of light grey.

  15. Robert Sacco on April 26, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    I’m watching this on a 1956 black and white TV and I don’t understand a thing…

  16. Rachel S. White on April 26, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Ok so color was only invented in the 50’s?🤔 Um…no.

  17. UncleBob’sMom on April 26, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Oh my gosh! Gloves too!

  18. Ketamine Poptarts on April 26, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    this actually inspired me to pick out new colours for my room

  19. Manly McStud on April 26, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    i feel as if i can now sell lead-based paint to sexy housewifes and really do the colorizer company proud.

  20. Elizabeth Jones on April 26, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    I want her clothes

  21. JennyLeigh2001 on April 26, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    Good lord those fabrics

  22. Laura G on April 26, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    Wow, that style still holds today.

  23. Amber Greene on April 26, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    Colorizer: Has a million colors. Me: I’m just gonna paint my walls white. 😂

  24. Michael Demarco on April 26, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Were the 1950s as boring as this video ?

  25. Victor Acuna Mendez on April 26, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    Están renovando todo. Esto es como cuándo uno descubre un tesoro. Ellos descubrieron las comunicaciónes .(lon distancia) ,y le están vendiendo tecnología a otros países. Hay dólares para pagar hasta las malas miradas.

  26. VCR Thunder on April 26, 2022 at 6:55 pm

    They had some of the theory down in the 50’s, but not all of it. just because a color is complementary doesn’t mean you should paint your living room vomit orange. You can do maybe one wall, but not all of them, thats just too much. Your home should not insult your senses, because there definitely can be too much color. So maybe dont get that pink toilet or teal kitchen cabinets.

  27. sarah louise on April 26, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    i had to speed this up to 1.25 because of the tedious speed at which the narrator drones on. almost sounds normal sped up

    it’s so 1950s – the idea that taste must be prescribed

    most of those looks were very dreary and unimaginative

  28. jade lisa Williams on April 26, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    They had it worked out far better 70 years ago.

  29. Leah Smith on April 26, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    I love the kitchen at 8:15!

  30. N Johnston on April 26, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    Long live those times of values and gorgeous clothes ,home decor and well made things,,love it so,and escape from our own times

  31. George Wind on April 26, 2022 at 7:04 pm

    well, you lived there in America, fattened, sorted out colors,
    and in the Soviet Union at that time, we had 3 paints: white, black and red …

  32. Jeffrey Verspaget on April 26, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Beautiful I like the colors of the 50ths it is cute and charming the most beautiful colors that I like is pastel colors very soft clean and easy I have this colors in my home and out side and all from the 50ths thanks gr Jeffrey ☘️🌞☕😘🌴.

  33. Dave Honkles on April 26, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    We sure went downhill after 1965.

  34. Internet Bad on April 26, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    the time when people actually had TASTE

  35. Eduardo Corrochio on April 26, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    So nice to stumble upon this video. I’m a color fiend. I get distracted by colors– swatches in the paint aisle, and so on. Plus, the educational films like this have a certain charm to them … that would be perfect fodder for an MST3K treatment. 🙂

  36. Katherene Wedic on April 26, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    In case you don’t get it the first time, don’t worry, they’ll repeat themselves every 10 seconds or less.

  37. Tiffany P on April 26, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    That shiny paint is probably lead paint😬

  38. Mike on April 26, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    That colorizor is really advanced stuff.

  39. kot on April 26, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    the statement that colors were a luxury for the dwellings of people in the past, was a shocking revelation i can’t help not thinking about now

  40. UncleBob’sMom on April 26, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Love the dress, hat and earrings ❤️❤️

  41. Edmund Thoroughgood on April 26, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    There is no color revolution right now. We suck.

  42. Robert Lee, Countertenor on April 26, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    They went overboard with this stuff

  43. Levi Jalowiec on April 26, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Von Miller

  44. Lys Mykyta on April 26, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Why do we insist on decorating our homes with the same colors and industrial type of furniture like we have in our offices? How and why did this trend start?

  45. Aimee-Lynn Donovan on April 26, 2022 at 7:22 pm

    Glad it modernized, but the colors and styles are chaotic! 😬

  46. Lora on April 26, 2022 at 7:24 pm

    Did she just paint wallpaper? Love this video….

  47. Chillmax on April 26, 2022 at 7:25 pm

    If you genuinely don’t know what you’re doing, or are somewhat style challenged, this is 100% valid & useful advice today; 50’s styling is always in fashion so you could even copy some of the schemes! Thanks so much for the upload, this is wonderful.

  48. Lisa Willis on April 26, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    Am I the only one who couldn’t believe she just painted the wallpaper? It took me a couple of days to peel my wallpaper off when I repainted a room years ago. Swore I would never use wallpaper again

  49. maridani333 on April 26, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    All the colors & variety yet indoctrinated any person with melanin ok
