1967 Fireplace Styles

I picked up a Sunset book from 1967 this week entitled "How to Plan and Build Your Fireplace". Fireplaces and mantels have changed over the years!
Book Cover. Unfortunately the photos are all black and white. Link to Part 2 here. http://organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com/2013/02/your-fireplace-1967-part-2.html
I had one of these free standing fireplaces in the basement of my first house. I think it was orange.
1960's all the way, even the television set.
Stuffed ducks in the fireplace ornamentation section of the book.
Mantel decorating was mostly sparse in the 1960's.
I actually liked this one.

    I'd love to see inside that book @ And thank you so much. Our grandson is feeling much better this morning. Barely sniffling and so far I've not heard him cough. Oh by the way I found Bewitched on You Tube. I'm loving it. I just watched one from when I was eight years old. Too funny.
