Mid-Century Modern

made it to the front page of etsy

I just love mid-century design, especially the textiles. Are you surprised? LOL! I have had some fun with some funky fabrics from that period - pure eye candy to me...

The Green Chair and More...Mid-Century Style

Do you start one project and before you finish that one start another one, and before you finish that one, start another??? Well, I do. When inspiration strikes, I change gears and go!!! In the midst of trying to finish my studio and the "old girl" chair, and trying to keep my etsy shops stocked and special orders up, I have redone another chair. It is a 1970s dining chair in sort of a Mediterranean style. I painted it avocado green and covered the seat with a vintage mid-century barkcloth in a mobile design. She turned out really funky - green is my favorite color and I have been into this shade for quite some time now. I just don't need to get carried away and buy myself an avocado green leather sofa - that would be a huge mistake. So here she is along with some other mid-century style items from one of my shops...

Vintage Barkcloth Cuff Bracelets

What to do with those smaller bits of vintage barkcloth - can't waste any of it. I made some neat adjustable cuff bracelets. Took some fabulous new vintage pieces of mid-century modern barkcloth and covered some aluminum cuffs. I love the way they turned out. No two of them are alike. What do you think??
