Ever since I got my first Cathrineholm poster, I had been dying to get another one (or two, three, four…). I really like this one:
Love and Food by Jan Skácelík
This wonderful work was done by a multi-talented artist Jan Skácelík from Olomous, Czech Republic. Jan works as a graphic designer/photographer/composer (wow!). Many of his posters [...]

I have been eyeing Rejuvenation’s Mid-Century Modern Collection for a while. When I get a “real” mid-century modern ranch dream house (my current house was built in 1955, but it does not have the right look), I already know where to go for lighting and cabinet hardware – but what about bath hardware and door [...]

All I knew was that they were designed by George Nelson (duh…), originally manufactured by Howard Miller and reintroduced by Vitra in the [...]

The colorful, eye-catching Eames Hang-It-All has been a favorite accessory for many mid century modern enthusiasts. In the mid-1940s, Charles and Ray Eames began designing toys and furniture for children, including the Hang-It-All (1953). It was originally made for Tigrett Enterprises’ Playhouse Division. Herman Miller reissued it in 1994. The traditional Hang-It-All comes in white, [...]
