Mid-Century Modern

P1010107

  Mid-Century Modern items are flying out the doors!  Flash back to The Brady Bunch, all these pieces are quite collectible right now.  From the clean lines of Danish Modern right down to the avocado greens, oranges and yellow of those days gone by from the 50’s through the 70’s.  Having grown up with these pieces in my parents’ home, I giggle when I see and hear younger folks swooning over them.  They are growing on me again.

There are several pieces of furniture, artwork, lamps, lighting, utilitarian pieces and odds and ends of items that are Mid-Century modern.

When scouting out these findings, it would always be nice to have four heads and eight eyes to be on the lookout!  This modern piece will certainly fit the bill!

 

Stay cool!  We are keeping the A/C turned way down this weekend.  Stop by for a fresh baked treat and coffee.  Well, maybe not the coffee since it’s warm…but the treats are always popular.

Happy Hunting!

This neon BUD light would be the perfect addition to a man cave, or for someone you know named BUD.  :)
