Let's go back half a century....

Mid century brings to mind vintage, pre-loved furniture. To me, it also encompasses themes like recycling, practicality and durable lasting pieces. Quoting wikipedia 'Mid-Century modern is an architectural, interior, product and graphic design that generally describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture, and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965.' The Scandinavians were very much behind this whole artistic movement.

I love wooden pieces but the wooden bench featured above just may not cut it as comfortable.  The ceiling fan is an excellent idea! It is easy to clean and does not take up space. Also, I am not keen for air con ( trying to save Gaia is really in these days!).

Anybody knows where I can get quality wooden TV consoles and chairs at affordable prices? I know designers need to feed their families, but so do I ! I was told that I could try shops like Lush, Scan Teak, Picket and Rail, Evov, Journey East, Lorgans, Commune, Room of Woods etc. Air/Plank/XZQT are out of my league.

A mirror can also light up a room, especially if placed near windows.

I am loving the psychedic colors!

I am thinking of having a shoe cabinet by the door, with a basket probaby for storing miscellaneous like keys, phones etc.

I am loving these white rounded tables! A round table saves space and makes having meals a very compact intimate affair. Placing cushions on dining chairs may be a good idea too, making communing around the table very inviting.
