Supergraphics, Anyone?

Pin It Now!

Apparently "supergraphics" were a thing in 1971. And, apparently, men didn't know anything about them. In case you are not privy to the art and beauty of supergraphics, this ad for Lucite Wall Paint in Better Homes and Gardens explains:
"Supergraphics is using color and space to create an effect in a room. To put your personality into your home. If you like wild stripes, paint them up one wall and down the other. You can always change them tomorrow."
And don't forget to wear your matching supergraphic dress.

Oh, how I love vintage Better Homes and Gardens magazines.

And aren't those melon balls divine?

  2. We had super graphics in my old house when I was just a wee thing. I had a huge sunburst in my bedroom and there was some sort of zig ziggy line like the ad in our kitchen and family room.

    And melon balls- you know they taste better than melon squares, right?
