- It was an evolutionary experience that greatly affected everyday life in America as many families started replacing their apartments with their lifestyles in the city and opted for cozy homes in the suburbs.
I lived in the 50s in a mid sized town in Idaho. My cousin Jim came over for two summers and we would walk each day during the week to the outdoor swimming pool. Jim taught me how to swim. On the way home, we'd stop at the Dairy Queen and could get a small ice cream cone for 5 cents, and a large for 10 cents. Back then, few people rarely locked the doors on their homes. My mom prepared healthy and varied dinners every night, I would get two cookies and milk after school but no more than two.
Thank you for your excellent video, so well done and classic comforting music.
Thanks for your feedback and kid words.

Oh how I wish I could go back in time 😢
My parents built a brick ranch in 1963. I now live in it. My mama often told me the best years for her were in the 50s 60s and 70s.
Great music, beautiful homes, wholesome culture - it was the best time to be alive in America. The soundtrack for this video is fantastic!
Hello Joseph, The perfect combination of music, era, and images truly creates a complete and immersive message. Thanks for the kind words.
If you were a white male.
White only 😂
Those green kitchens! Love them all.
This was my childhood. My parents bought a home in the suburbs of Long Island in 1958.
i wish i could spend six months in 1957 and maybe 1963.
If an award were given for the best depictions of Mid-Century, YOU would be the winner!🌟🫵
Thank you for the kind words!

I love my 1950s home. Sadly the only original things remaining are the fireplace, and the teal tile in the bathroom. Everything else was replaced before I bought it 10 years ago. I did buy so nice 50s clocks and light fixtures. Great video!
Good for you reclaiming your family home!!😊
Beautiful and so relaxing. I love the music, and colors and all the 50’s had to offer. I do believe I had a past life in this time. I’ve been attracted to all of it since around 4 or 5 years old. The video was lovely!! Thank you! Liked and subscribed. 😊
Pure enjoyment. No other way to describe this video that came through my feed. Very well planned, brilliant music, photos and gives the feel of the era never to be seen again. Thank you for your wonderful production.
Such a beautiful video and music was perfect. This was definitely the good life for Americans. Liked and Subscribed!
It was truly a good life for Americans. As long as you were a white Christian American. Don't forget that school desegregation had yet to happen, and Civil Rights activity was just getting to a boil. I'm not banging on your gong, just trying to keep it real. I grew up (sentient wise) in the 60s and 70s, being part of the busiest year of the whole Baby Boom, in 1957. In the South. I never understood why it was SO HARD for human beings to have to fight just for ordinary rights? That never made any kind of sense to me at all, and it still doesn't.
Thank you so very much for your fantastic video! I absolutely loved it. Such nostalgia like Sears Roebuck catalog and Automat wrapped in one❤
Amazing video 😇. Thanks for sharing, God bless 🙏😇
Hello from Canada - Michael, you have good taste, creative initiative and the capacity to generate consistent good work. You are the true “creative spirit”. Thank you for bringing us your presentations.
Hey Eric, I really appreciate your kind words regarding my videos. Visual learning truly enhances our understanding of various subjects, such as design, trends, and more. It adds that extra touch that makes everything clearer and more engaging.
Yes, design instinct is one of the most wonderful human talents. We take the abundance of design on our lives for granted, yet it contributes immensely to human well being. Cheers. @@VisualLearningDesign
From back when America was a great nation.
Our 1951 Ranch had a bathroom with pink tile walls with blue trim. The untiled wall was light blue with gold swirls. As were the lion’s head towel racks. Thanks for the time transport!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Greetings Michael - Still appreciating your work from Canada. What I notice and like about the 50's home exteriors that you share in this video is the unpretentious friendliness of the designs. The homes provide enough green space to let people breathe. This was a feature of design in the 1950s and 1960s that was distinctly North American. Neighbourhoods with an open and "good life" feeling. Most of the front yards did not have fences to block the house from the street, unlike neighbourhoods in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, the trend today to "intensify" urban living into row housing and tall apartment and condominium buildings. This is causing a generation of young people to miss the simple pleasures of life on a leafy street and community. Perhaps when population growth subsides, the single detached homes in this older concept will become more obtainable by young couples again. All the best.
It was actually the "Dick and Jane" books come alive...in a lot of ways
Look Jane Look! See Dick run! Today when Dick sees the prices for these houses, he still running!
@VisualLearningDesign
See Dick run. Run Dick run...farrrr away, it's too impossibly expensive...back into the book, Dick...it's safer there!
I liked 👍 and subscribed just because it reminded me of my childhood looking through ' Better Homes and Gardens ' magazines, those pictures are truly reminiscent of that era. Not to mention the music perfectly fits every piece on your video. I'm keeping this video in a loop just for the music, it's very relaxing and I'll watch it again and again from time to time.. 😊
Thank you for your sweet comments. Glad you liked the music as well.
Enjoyed this video- however, I don’t recognize or relate to any of it in my ( parents) home looking anything like this😅. We were 10 siblings and both parents - home decor bedrooms were like dorms, kitchen just like “ ma and pa Kettles home on the farm. But a great life just the same. Dad drove a 1940’s truck and we rode in the back (bed of it). Except for the “ young- uns, sat in front cab . 🙏 BTW- the only thing “ Orange “ were are mouths smeared orange with” Koolaid” 🤓. Thanks
'' A Summer Place'' by Percy Faith. a piano recital nightmare but I got through it. oh yes, it was a very 'Good Life' thing to have a piano in the house, a spinet followed me from my 5th birthday all the way to my sophomore year of college, sold it for gas for a car I sold the next month to pay rent. yeah the Good Life. we all go through our own.
nothing against you personally Mr. P, I subscribed because these videos do bring back happy nostalgia times gone by for very young people that remember gramma and granpa's house and the step mom that held on to her 1950's French Provencial Living room, Dining room, Bedroom suites, until the 2000's rip I'm very appreciative for your efforts and works to produce these mind bending videos, the presentation is excellent, the audio is complimentary and are often a quick option for viewing when there's a lull, they're nice to watch anytime. Thanks for putting them up here on Youtey.
Hello - It's truly delightful to hear your positive feedback, and I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my videos. Rest assured, there's much more to come!
@@VisualLearningDesign 😃👍
My cousin still has all her moms French Provincial furniture. Fruitwood I think. Everyone took such good care of stuff back then. Never moved either.
that was awesome - loved our home in Mississauga, Ont - pink tile with black trim in the only bathroom, and turquoise tin cupboards in the kitchen - it was an awesome - but by today's standards, a small home with 3 bedrooms and unfinished basement but it was corner lot and that was covetted back then...
Hi when you said Mississauga, did you include Port Credit ? Many years ago, I went Graydon.
@@VisualLearningDesign YES!! we lived in Clarkson, and our area was called Lorne Park - we lived on Brookhurst....just a couple of houses away from the Credit Creek...good times!
What a beautiful video with all the good old days pictures, and nice music too, with good old days style.
dude you had me at the intro music lol
Great video
Care to share the the soundtrack? I know “A Summer Place” but can’t recognize the rest
Oh, subscribed
Hello - The Music track you were asking about is: HONEYMOON SWOON by
WERNER TAUTZ.
My 1950's mother
was named Betty!
OMG! How appropriate
Great video - really representative of not only the styles but who was afforded the privilege of living in these neighborhoods. I truly hope times have changed.
I love looking at interiors of all eras .. sometimes I have prevent myselves from piercing into other people's houses just to see how they designed the interior .. there is a name for this condition but I forget it.. I had to stop because a person can get into trouble so I just look at apartment therapy or never too small and different show cases ..I go to furniture stores like ikea or others thaT specifically have showcases ..it is literally a thing
I wanna live there🥺🍃
lovely❤
We need to go back
Percy faith, Bert kamfert. Real tunes sugar pie....
Never a fan of MCM. One aunt did have Dutch Modern furniture in their house. I was born in 59 so my parents didn’t buy till 63. A four bedroom Cape w/2 baths. They were only in their 20’s!
Things were changing, it was not all that it seemed there was a rumbling
I appreciate the social progress of the modern era, but I sure miss the style and music of Mid-Century.
Kids played in the street, rode there bikes everywhere and walked to school eith no patent being in fear of their childs safety. Everybody did not have cell phones in hand but where akways engaged with the people around them. The clothes were all made what's American pride karma that would last 4 years not just two washings. Most homes had one car. No streaming services Southern family with sit down and watch television together because they had awesome family TV programming.
If there is one word to describe the 50's and early 60's, it is: STYLE. The cars, the clothes, the music and the homes. Pure magic. Utopian even. I love it, but I suppose not everyone did. The late 60's and 70's proved that by rebelling against it with the carefree hippie movement, free love, drugs and rock'n'roll. Maybe people were tired of the cookie cutter, priviledged, constraints of that society and just had to break out. Too bad. I actually happen to like order and structure. To each their own.
Your post negated your comment. Because, of Society breaking from the "constraints' you are now able to contradict.
Although the homes and decor back then were absolutely hideous, I do believe life was better back then. People today are too glued to smartphones and no longer know how to actually think for themselves. I did like the Percy Faith - A Summer Place tune at 2:42.
Hideous? They were beautiful, even today.
Move along troll. You types are always watching something than attempt to smear it. Good grief.
It is a lovely and fascinating video. @@cgschow1971

@@cgschow1971 😅🤣😂
Other than the threat of nuclear war, this really was The Good Life.
Good grief. You types are always wanting to throw negativity upon something beautiful.
