Mid-Century Modern in Deep Blue

Mariner Hotel
Falmouth-on-Cape-Cod, MA
1950's?

 How do I tell that this is a classic mid-century modern room? Let me count the ways:
  1. Little conical lamps
  2. Deep blue walls
  3. Blind and print curtains on the window
  4. Bright red chair, the kind that is used to torture patients in doctors' waiting rooms
  5. Cute little nightstand with round edges in blue with a contrastig white drawer
  6. Hospital chic bedspreads
  7. Twin beds. These days, hotels and motels wouldn't be caught dead with small beds -- everything has to be either double or king-size. I guess people were much thinner back then.
