Another Jell-O ad from 1946. Featuring an Easter Egg Pudding.

Did you know that Jell-O was scarce during WW2? I did not but the rationing of sugar played a part as the advertisement explains. Even after the end of WW2, Jell-O was still waiting for it to replenish.

I know it’s not going to be many people’s favourite thing, but I love a cool Mid Century bathroom / washroom. Pink, blue, green sinks / tubs whatever colour there is I love it. I also think 1920’s & 1930’s bathrooms with their cool Art deco style are just the best. So fancy!

For today’s post we are going to look back on vintage ads from the 1920’s – 1950’s as a source of inspiration for maybe a bathroom reno or just enjoyment.

Let’s begin!
