In 1947 Mademoiselle magazine launched "Living for Young Homemakers". The young postwar generation was moving out of their parents homes and searching for a life to call their own. They were faced with limited incomes and a huge housing shortage, and Living showed them how to handle those issues creatively.
Some articles in their 1st issue:
We Live in a Barn, and Love It!
A Garage is Our Castle
I Live with My Family
Space is Where You Find It
This woman and her husband live in a converted stone garage.
"Penny and Pete Find an Apartment and Furnish It"
"...four whole rooms!"
I think maybe that generation had the right idea...
