EDITORS COMMENTS
March 1966: A DIY Dining Room Makeover with Terry Parker's Cover Design Step into the 1960s with this vintage cover design from the March 1966 issue of a popular home improvement magazine. The image, captured by photographer Terry Parker, showcases the DIY spirit that was sweeping through the nation during this era. The cover features a man and a boy, both intently focused on their woodworking project in the dining room. The table, in its raw form, sits in the center of the room, surrounded by an array of tools and sandpaper. The square wooden tabletop, yet to be finished, is being sanded down to a smooth surface, while the legs and base are still in their rough, unfinished state. The atmosphere in the room is one of determination and creativity. The man and the boy work together, their faces expressing a sense of accomplishment and pride in their DIY project. The warm, natural light filtering in from the window adds to the inviting and cozy feel of the room. The cover design, titled "Do It Yourself," encapsulates the essence of the 1960s home improvement movement. It encourages readers to take matters into their own hands and create their own furniture, adding a personal touch to their homes. With the right tools, some patience, and a lot of elbow grease, the possibilities were endless. This cover design is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the 1960s DIY movement. It serves as a reminder that with a little creativity and determination, we can transform our living spaces into places that truly reflect our personalities and tastes.
