I'm definitely not as
gung ho for Mid Century as most of the blogs I follow I mean I dig it but I
find lots of eras and design styles interesting. Furnishing your home in
Mid Century fashion is a hot trend right now and I'm not bashing it but the
money people are asking or willing to pay for certain items is crazy, for
example every week I go to the same second hand shop that has a closed
"treasure trove" area where for a two dollar fee you can silent bid
on items in this treasure trove room. There are a pair of really nice rope chairs
likely Yugoslavian as they have no branding anywhere, they are the same as others
I've seen on line any how this particular pair is up to $550 so far, in my
opinion that's $200 to much.
My
particular tastes are a little more eclectic and definitely lower budget
for example the reclaimed tin ceiling panels as art shown here and
the 50’s floor lamp I bought for $7(needed lots of work). The tin as rusted and old as it is still has a modern feel
to it partly because of the repeating pattern and the floor lamp is just friggin cool
(shown in an earlier post) I couldn't bring myself to sell it. I left the tin out in the rain for a week then pressure washed it clean then hung on the wall.
