Brasilia induces heart palpitations...



My all time favorite mid century design is Brasilia by Broyhill. My heart thumps harder when I see the stunning, sweeping design. It's true perfection in my eyes.

The Brasilia collection was created in 1962. Inspired by the architecture in the city of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, it's clear to see where the stunning design came from.

Though more than 50 years old the design is just as striking, if not more so, in the modern day.

They just don't make them like this anymore.

Below are some current Ebay finds that make me want to go without eating or getting hair cuts, or paying the mortgage to afford...uh, maybe not that last one but what I would do for these pieces, my oh my!


What do you think of Brasilia?

Craigslist Love - Mid Century Finds

This is becoming a repeat post, though I've been really neglecting my blog lately. I tried to enjoy what was left of summer in August by enjoying our pool, friends, family, outdoor things. That meant less shopping, less blogging, etc. for my shop. But I'm back in full force now!

I love.love. to scour Craigslist Los Angeles for fabulous mid century finds. Here are some of my recent faves....
