"The beautiful brass and acrylic chandelier
is supplemented by a circle of architectural lighting recessed
in the ceiling. Here, as in all the rooms, dimmer controls make
it possible to flood the area with radiance or reduce wattage
to the subdued glimmer of candlelight. Behind the floor-to-ceiling
draperies of Creslan are sliding doors opening on the patio. Surfaces
of Formica laminate both protect and decorate the handsome furniture."

If nothing else, the
blue and green glass chandelier would date this picture to the
mid 1960s. The dimmers, sliding glass doors and recessed spotlights
are all good ideas that would see increased acceptance in the
coming years, while ironically Formica tabletops like the one
shown would become, for many, instantly recognizable symbols of
the sixties.
