EDITORS COMMENTS
July 1966: A Summer of DIY Home Improvements and the Joy of a Swim Pool in Your Garden Step into the vibrant and innovative world of home improvement in the 1960s, as captured in this cover design from the July 1966 issue of a popular DIY magazine. The image, titled "Do it yourself," invites readers to embark on a summer of transformative projects for their homes. At the heart of this cover is the allure of creating a personal oasis right in one's own backyard - a swim pool. The young, stylish couple, dressed in fashionable 1960s attire, exudes an air of excitement and accomplishment as they stand beside their newly built pool. The bikini-clad woman, with a radiant smile, reaches out to her partner, who playfully splashes water, emphasizing the refreshing and carefree spirit of summer. The lush greenery and sun-kissed atmosphere surrounding the pool create a serene and inviting scene, further highlighting the potential for creating idyllic spaces within the comfort of one's own home. The pool's sleek, modern design is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the DIY movement during this era. This cover design, created by Terry Parker, encapsulates the essence of the 1960s - a time of self-expression, creativity, and the pursuit of leisure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a simpler time, where the joy of DIY projects and the thrill of a swim pool in one's garden were the epitome of summer living.
