I accidentally found this image while searching for cocktail party ideas. Can you believe it's from 1950? It's an example of midcentury "California Modern". Aside from the hairstyles and the smoking , it looks so 2012!
Check out the shag upholstery on the chair, the large rectangular fireplace tiles, the walnut stained coffee table, the sofa, lamps, frieze broadloom, the red accents anchored with grey as the main neutral.... There's even a mirror-view television built into the table.....a kind of flat screen TV of the 1950's. Now, how cool is that?
