2010 WINNER BEST FURNITURE BOUTIQUE CHICAGO WEEKLY


Inside An Orange Moon, granny-chic takes on new life and starts to look pretty darn good. For a mid-century modern furniture addict, this store is a dream come true (the tequila shot offered when entering the store might be appreciated by a wider audience). Specializing in vintage furniture, An Orange Moon has a wide variety of unique Eames-era pieces. Teak embellishments and credenzas abound along with Italian Lucite folding chairs and re-upholstered retro couches. A nondescript bat wing chair has been refurbished to look completely fresh and modern. The décor is sunny and inviting, with avocado-green walls, purposely worn white floors, and an artful array of clutter. An Orange Moon also offers a selection of vintage clothing, pottery, and decorative artifacts. The self-described “über hip” store lives up to all that the phrase implies. 2436 W. 59th St. Friday-Sunday, 11am-5pm (summer hours). (312)450-9821. theculturalpsychologist.blogspot.com/

Brasilia Breakfront & Credenza

This Breakfront & Credenza is by Brasilia!

The Brasilia line by Broyhill was created in 1962. The signature lines and waves of Brasilia furniture were inspired by the distinct architecture of the city of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.



The city of Brasilia was planned and developed between 1956 and 1960. When viewed from above, the city’s shape resembles a plane or bird, which is mimicked on much of Broyhill’s original fabric and tiles. Most of the city’s architecture was the vision of a man named Oscar Niemeyer...

Dorothy "Mad Men" Thorpe Glasses & Holder




Dorothy Thorpe Glassware is featured weekly on Mad Men.  

The main character of AMC’s “Mad Men” drinks from sterling-silver banded glassware that he keeps inside his Manhattan Avenue office. Draper, played by Jon Hamm, is creative director of the fictional Sterling Cooper ad agency in the early 1960s.

The roly-poly crystal glasses Draper sips from were designed by Dorothy Carpenter Thorpe (1904-1989), a Los Angeles-based artist. Thorpe designed other sterling-edged entertaining ware such as cocktail pitchers and cheese domes.

Check out this clip from the "Waldorf Stories" episode. Can you spot the Dorothy Thorpe glasses?

Cheers! University of Chicago, yet again!

Flashback...I shopped at Sears & Roebuck as a teen-ager. Hillman's grocer was in the basement. I bought my first Fashion Fair from the make-up counter on 63rd & Halsted. Across the street was Fannie Mae Candies, Kresges (5 & Dime), and lastly Walgreens. The only difference is then Walgreens had a lunch counter. After shopping we'd get a quick bite. My 3 sisters & I would usually get a banana split or some fancy ice cream concoction and a Coke. Afterwards we'd freshen our lipstick, put on our scarves and sunglasses, and ride down 63rd street in my big sisters Barracuda headed east with the top down while listening to Smokey...
