Mid Century Modern Real Estate. Southern California.

Yes, I'll take it!  < Don't I wish? >

Can you handle all this mid century architectural yumminess?  Yes, that's a technical design term.

Enjoy....

Mid Century Design is for the Birds. Literally.

In this case, mid century is for the birds, and it looks super cool!  I came across Mid Century Wood Shop on Etsy and fell in love with the atomic inspired bird houses.  If you're into 50's and 60's design, these might be for you.

The houses are like mini atomic, or googie ranch homes.  They are hand-made with real wood and sealed with a non-toxic sealant, or painted.







Paul also crafts modern planters and plant trellis:

New Vintage Finds! Space Age, Industrial, Mod.

I've been pickin'!  Here are some of my recent finds:


Clip on yellow lamp. Love these!  They're so versatile: office, loft, reading nook, bedroom...

Industrial, minimalist "bullet" gooseneck lamp. 

Here fishy, fishy, fishy!  Ash trays?  Not sure. Mid century coolness?  Yes.

Tulip base General Electric table top clock. I can't resist a tulip base so I'm keeping this one!  

Space age-y mod Hallmark Ricoh "flip" clock. Made in Japan. 

Mod round mirrors in green.  Fun for any room in your home.

70's style mod mirror. Not my thing but I know someone wants this in their grooovy pad.

Fabulous ball lamp on bright yellow base.  This one is staying with me, for now anyway.

Atomic tripop plant stand or ashtray.  I have one I use as a planter and I'm debating if it needs a friend...?

Whenever I see mid century electrical plates I snatch them up.  These beauties would look perfect in a Regency setting.

Mid century mod door knobs.  Make one door very happy!

Mid century Rya-esque red rug.  Great color palette.  Puuuuurty, huh? ;)

Plastic fish paper plate holders. Get your retro BBQ on.



Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend friends!

Milo Baughman Brass X Bench for Thayer Coggin.

I happened across this beauty and before I even flipped it over I knew who it was.  Sure enough, Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin.

Solid brass X style base with an upholstered plush top.  This just screams Hollywood Regency doesn't it? If the buyer doesn't fancy the original upholstery, this would be very easy to change.

I've only found a few others online, and the price is steep. I'll need to have mine appraised and then it's going into my shop! Let me know if you're interested!







Mint condition @ 1st Dibs $4800

Sold at Orion's Objects $2400 (copper base)

Sold at City Issue price unknown
