Check Out Plan 59

This is a fun website I found recently that sells mid century modern art prints.

They have hundreds of prints from vintage ads of the 50's and 60's.

I was pleased to see one of the Motorola ads by Charles Schridde among them.

Check it out.

THE MUSEUM (AND GIFT SHOP) OF MID-CENTURY ILLUSTRATION

I love the pendant lighting and built ins....

and of course the furniture.

I'm not crazy about the pink hue.

Must have been at sunset.

The turquoise cabinets remind me of Ikea kitchens.

Again, great pendant lighting.

A little too much color going on for my taste

but a fun kitchen none the less.

Must be a special occasion, Dom Perignon and lobster.

Did Don get that raise he's been waiting so long for?

(so get out the champagne flutes and put the martini glasses away!)

This kitchen definitely withstands the test of time.

Love the stainless appliances and the cabinetry.

The island and barstools would be welcomed into my kitchen with open arms.

Check out the hood vent. Love it!

Things I love in this room.....the ceiling, windows, built ins and the game table.

Check out our game table here.

More fabulous pendant lighting.

The hostess is tres elegante.

Love the chairs, however, they do not look very comfortable.

I love the wall of windows.

I think I would have put the cabinetry on the side walls.

The smaller section looks like it's out of place there.

I love big open rooms.

Perhaps an island with barstools would have worked better there.

Wouldn't you love to find this set at a thrift store or estate sale?

I'd design the room around these two pieces.

The chairs, the coffee table, the sectional, the pole lamp,

the area rug.....I'll take all of it.

Isn't this a cozy space?

I remember several of our neighbors in Fremont, California

had indoor brick barbecue grills in the family rooms.

I guess they were rumpus rooms back then.

Look at Johnny grilling the steaks while Jimmy plays the accordion.

Dad should be home from work soon.
