BASE

The 1950s was a decade of postwar optimism, economic boom, and cultural shifts in the United States and beyond.  After the hardships of WWII, society embraced prosperity, suburban growth, the baby boom, and a return to traditional gender roles, while new youth culture emerged with rock 'n' roll, icons like Elvis and James Dean, and rebellious styles.  

Home interirors burst with cheerful pastels: Lemony yellow for sunny kitchens, salmon for warm accents, and serene blue for calm bathrooms and dinettes.  The American teenager was a distinct social force. and GOT IT MADE IN THE SHADE meant that 'everything is great'.
