Thanks @samuelhildreth for sharing this vintage @apnews image of the 1960 National Association of Home Builders convention and exposition in Chicago. He spotted an Elipses mosaic on the wall—not surprising given the relationship between the Ackermans and Paul McCobb. Syndicated business columns in newspapers across the country ran this image to highlight new home technologies and residential consumer trends. A Throwback Thursday winner! #evelynackerman #paulmccobb #jeromeackerman #interiordesign #tbt @homebuilders

Small clarification to the newspaper caption: The table was designed by McCobb, but the chairs were not.

Upload a photo and use the prompt below to see your haunted VHS cover:
A 1990s horror VHS cover, portrait (aspect ratio ~0.72). The Title is: “[TITLE],” with the tagline “[TAGLINE]” — never copy or rename a real cover. Show one strong central image of [SCENE] on a simple background, rendered as [MEDIUM: authentic 1980s airbrush/oil painting with period brushwork | 1990s period photograph with 35mm grain], with visible texture and at most 3-4 visual elements; the title treatment carries the design. Cast exactly one human from the uploaded photo, in PG-safe spooky register — wide eyes, surprise — with no blood, gore, wounds, or peril, and keep all geometry physically real and spatially simple. Letter the title in Spooky Minimal Text with a lurid period palette, then add the VHS badge, HI-FI STEREO text, tiny credits block, and worn rental edges.](https://scontent-msp1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/879589449_18357156726149629_6404909209803855031_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p1080x1080_tt6&_nc_cat=1&ig_cache_key=NDAxOTUxMjIzMDExODA5NzAxMw%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkNBUk9VU0VMX0lURU0ueHBpZHMuMTIzMi5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=EndlB0IAV2cQ7kNvwEavwxt&_nc_oc=AdpTuOs86M97uaYpmsWkRq39Ba6KruuAHPcgJ5hoxUQf0M3EjSUZwzwGl44v_W3DTJOdigBKrAYmgTQz2nkBC3OE&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=vOQh12PFrJjsnLVJU8BSMw&_nc_ss=70180&oh=00_AQQASyd5Q1rTAgYHcwdVy4CkZLWVjpWixm7Ft0Ox-7t10w&oe=6AEFBB91)
