Red Mod Chair


COLOR is what Mid Century Modern is all about!
Did you see the Madmen episode when Don Drapers daughter, 9 year old cigarette smoking, rum-pouring on pancakes Sally ran away from her suburban digs to her dads New York city office? That lobby shot was a virtual plethora of color! Utterly amazing! Shout out to the set designer! That lobby re-creation was spot on! 
We often get caught up in the black walnuts & honey-colored Teaks of the highboys & credenzas. Not that there's anything wrong with that! ;-)
But we mustn't forget about color! So Modernist, look through your Danish credenza in your living room where you keep all your AV, & look for that Madmen DVD!

An Orange Moon Special Guest @ Antique Show 8/7/2011


Okay--everyone knows us as hard core Mid Century Modernists, but Sunday I did the show at the Rebuilding Exchange! Just felt the need to go back to my Maxwell Street roots! I totally stepped out of my "Modernist" comfort zone & sold an assortment of jewelry, dish ware, silver, artwork & home accessories! Pssst--we offer these items at AOM, but they are displayed in the BACK ROOM! The REALLY REGULAR customers know about it. I'm just saying...
Anywho, that morning the heavens opened up & it rained like hell! I politely climbed into my truck turned on the air, drank my coffee & chilled! Thank goodness Mother Nature gave us a play! An hour later the sun came out big and bold, and so did the customers!
 Below is one of my favs.
