Painting & Decorating in 1945
We found this historical video on YouTube that discusses painting and decorating in 1945. A lot has changed since then. First off, back then lead was included in household paint! But around 1978, once they discovered how toxic lead was, they took it out of the list of ingredients. Furthermore, back then there was no such thing as low VOC paint so after painting a room, if you didn’t have the windows open, you would be just about ready to pass out.
