Does anyone know a site with pictures (photos) from mid-century decoration? I love a lot furniture from 1950s/60s but I am not expert in internet, but I think theres is some good site that has pictures of old famopus magazines from the 50s/60s decorations (with bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens...). Someone could tell me some sites? Thanks a lot and sorry about my poor english (I'm from Brazil).

Funny how basically everything in that photo is a Saarinen knock-off. And that Saarinen designed his tulip series in the 50s but it has become so ubiquitous with 60s interior design.

Atomic Ranch is a lovely resource -- but you won't know how much of what you're seeing is someone's take on the period, as opposed to what's genuine -- it seems to me. You want an original source, photos taken in the period, to get an undiluted take on the scene.
Here's one, with pictures of 50's kitchens. You can probably find photos of other rooms by substituting the word for "kitchens". . .

Thanks to friends who helped and gave their opinions. Previously I had done some search on google and flickr and had seen some interesting photos, but I thought there was some site like a library with a collection of old editions of magazines. Anyway thanks.

I think you're on the right
track. Like House Beautiful, many other magazines must have some online presence, including archived old issues ?
