Mid-century Modern Defined

MCM is a style of furniture design that began after World War II and continued into the 1960's.  It refers to the look that was popular in the middle of the 20th century.  You might call it mod or retro, but I call it cool.  My parents had an orange vinyl chair that I would give teeth to have again... I've scoured my father's house looking for it and I've asked 10 times.... "Where's that chair?".  Somehow he can't remember it.  Really?  It was bright ORANGE?  Anyway, I finally got my hands on a replica and I'm trying to decide on a fabric for the cushions.  The first picture is a dead ringer!

A small-ish DIY project - paint the INside of something

Since I've been painting my never-been-painted-before kitchen cabinets for the better part of a week, it's time to plan another project that has less.... commitment.  Pick one of these do-it-in-an-afternoon projects and paint the inside of something.  It could be the inside of your front door, a china cabinet, table drawer, window frame, kitchen cabinet or bookcase.

Dip dye a piece of furniture

This bench looks like it was dip dyed but it's clearly paint.  Gorgeous.  Just gorgeous.

Three horizontal mirrors

This is chic and super inexpensive!  I might try it over the dresser in the master bedroom although I do have a nearly identical desk.

The rainbow trend is hot

I see rainbow everything these days... different from the 1980's when I wanted rainbow suspenders in the worst way!
