Groovy in Hawaii

Kauai Surf Resort
Kalapaki Beach, Kauai, Hawaii
1960's?

To be fair, as vintage motel rooms go, this isn't too bad (and of course, a great view helps, too). It has some nice examples of mid-century modern, such as that white round table and the little coffee table. However, the harvest gold carpet and upholstery gives this room a dated look. The printed curtains look like they date from 1950's. Also, note that daybed on the right, which looks like a roll-away bed slid under some of structure serving as a combination backrest and shelf. They were popular in 1960's but you don't see them anymore, as they've been replaced by hide-a-beds and futon frames.

Note: if you are interested in buying this postcard, it is available for sale on Playle's site. I also have many other postcards for sale there as well -- click on the "Other items by this seller" link there.
