Interior decorating with typewriters

Olympia SM9

I was leafing through my copy of The House Book by Terence Conran (1974) and came across this stylish setting and thought to myself "they picked that Olympia because it matched the color scheme" (even their stationary of choice is yellow to match the accent color!)

Hermes Baby

So I went through the book and found all the identifiable instances of typewriters in their various settings. I think this Hermes (or is it an Empire?) wasn't chosen to match the color scheme.

Olivetti Lettera 22

What's a stylish room without an Olivetti? Putty looks pretty good here.

Olivetti Studio 44

And for this second Olivetti, did they pick it because it matched the table and chair? Or did they paint their furniture to match their typewriter? Part of my hopes it's the latter.

Apologies for the somewhat bad photographs. I wanted to avoid using flash.

Weekend & A Disgruntled Psuedo-Architect

This is a more expensive house now.

This a more expensive house in 1918. Notice it has something lacking today--good taste.
(And all those special purpose rooms. People had different expectations then.)

An upper middle range house today.

And an upper middle range in 1920. Again, notice it is tasteful not glamorous and false.

I agree this is very special-interest, and also opinionated. (But it's my opinion and my special interest!)
But if you share at least a mild dislike of McMansions let me know something about it.

Recommendations for number of bathrooms in a middle-class home (no maid or nurse):
2 beds/1 bath -- 3 beds/1 or 1.5 baths -- 4 beds/1.5 or 2 baths -- 5 beds/2 baths

I know this title would work great with a funny story. I'll try for a humorous look at part 2!
