Searching For Mid Century Modern

As you may know…I’m constantly searching around for mid century modern pieces. I scour the thrift stores, rummage yard sales, and I even get on a notification list at all the local antique shops. And yes, it pays off at times. Especially when you find great stuff.

I want to share with you my most sought after piece of furniture. It’s a mid century modern chaise that brings a smile to my face every time I lay eyes on it. Just look at the curves on this fine piece of art.

I found this nice arm charm in an antique shop I frequently almost weekly. It’s sturdy and strong. It doesn’t appear to have any function defects. It’s a bit scratched, but that comes with the antique territory.

Not sure what I’m going to do in the long run with this butcher block table. But I’m currently using it for my home office. I will have to show you the final results of the office when I’m finished. But for now…take a look at this hunk of a piece.

Accessories always matter when trying to mingle new modern in with the older mid century modern furniture. Keeping my eyes peeled back seems to help me find great glassware of the MCM era.

Just recently I found so really great mid century modern glassware from my favorite shopping hub Nest Lincoln. You can say it was really a true “find” cause my intent was to see if there were a dining table for our kitchen area. We’ve decided on making the formal dining into another sitting area. We would get better use out of it. Plus, it would keep the new wood floors clean and confine the food mess that some how finds its way onto the floor.
