We're getting serious about Mid Century Modern

Kids, I want you to write this down and read it every day:
I will invest in MidCentury Modern.

Seriously, you'll look back in 20 years and say, "I should have listened."  
It will give me absolutely no pleasure to say, "I told you so."


































Memorize this chart before your next flea market junket:



Believe it or not, the two pieces below were found on Craig's List!




And thrift shops are teaming with castoff 50s and 60s
chairs at ridiculously low prices.


The simple, crisp (and often blunt) lines of MidCentury
pieces make them ideal candidates for rehab projects.


You're right, I've posted a few of these photos before but I just
can't get over how controlled yet versatile these pieces are.







A great source for a wide selection of MidCentury is Modern Finds:





MidCentury doesn't mean bare and stark:



Bordering on Industrial Chic, MidCentury exemplifies one of America's
greatest decades in social change, space travel, our introduction to color TV,
and the inception of rock and roll.  It's a win.

    1. Hmmm, I think I'm starting to like this look again! I grew up with these pieces (50's and 60's). Now they look more sophisticated and grown up. I enjoyed looking at your photos!

    2. I felt the same way for a long time - this is what I grew up with also. It seemed bare and stark and cold. You're right - it's sophisticated in its simplicity.

  15. Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems
    with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  19. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my
    4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I
    had to tell someone!
