Mid-Century Magic

If you have not already made the trip to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) you must make the excursion to view the exhibit "California Design - Living in a Modern Way" that runs through June 2012.  I'm a huge fan of Mid-Century Modern design and try to incorporate as much of the look and feel as I can into my home.  It was so fun to see and read about the design elements and the surge of Modernism that swept through Los Angeles after WWII.  Eichler Homes, Eames furniture & so much more... It was just heaven.

Coffee table book - Great colors to add a pop to your living room.

A perfect collage of awesome simplicity!!

They had little vignettes of fashion displays.  Love this bathing suit design - pretty timeless.

My favorite space was this little outdoor patio set-up.  Shag carpet and all!!

We ventured into another building and much to our surprise found this beauty!!

Another fun discovery...  We call this "Dish Count".
