r/midcentury

It’s built in the 90s, but the living room is really giving mid-century modern. What do you think about this one?

Paid $200. Still has the studio tag on it. Honestly I love it and I think it will go nicely with my mid century decor. 48”x60”

Found these on the curb today! Was driving by & when I saw them I stopped in my tracks. Actually talked to the man giving them away & he was super kind.

They have a Kent-Coffey Amerasia stamp inside & I looked it up & it said mid century!

The top is bubbling. My goal is to refinish (re-paint black) & use in my living room! I would love tips on the best way to go about this & would love to learn more about the furniture!!

EDIT; PLEASE SEE COMMENTS FOR UPDATED PIC

I just got this small pink sofa and I like it but I don't know how to work it in the room. I do need all the seating so I don't want to get rid of anything. Any tips on where/how to move things? It's a UK home fyi (small)

Also room isn't complete so any tips on finishing things welcome! Do I need high corner shelves

It smells like a vintage piece, the seller listed it as vintage, but it’s really lightweight. I tried to reverse image search it and couldn’t find anything, so maybe you guys can help!

I have a 1955 Cliff May Rancho in Dallas with original fixed clerestory windows. One window is missing the narrow aluminum divider between two panes of glass. The glass itself is intact.

I have contacted local glass companies, but the one that seemed qualified said they replace broken glass only and do not repair or fabricate the aluminum framing.

I do not want to remove an intact divider from another window because I don’t want to risk damaging the original glass.

Is this something a commercial glazier, aluminum storefront fabricator, or architectural metal shop should be able to reproduce from measurements and photos? And does anyone know what this particular divider/profile would be called?

I’ll attach photos of both the missing divider and an intact one for comparison.

The wood paneling in that family room 😍 And I love the shape of the little studio out back. What do you think about this one?

I'm trying to identify this coffee table that has been in my family since the 1950s/60s. My parents acquired it in the Vancouver, BC area sometime between 1952 and 1967, probably toward the earlier part of that range.

Dimensions are approximately 56 × 20 × 15 in. (142 × 50 × 38 cm).

There is no surviving maker's label, although staples remain underneath where a paper label appears to have been attached. The top was lightly sanded and refinished in 2002; the frame, underside and hardware retain their older finish and wear.

I've been researching Canadian manufacturers and designers of the period and have some possibilities, but I'd rather not prejudice the identification by naming them initially.

Does anyone recognize the design, construction, hardware or manufacturer? I'm particularly interested in anyone who has an identical or closely related table with its original label, or who has period catalogues showing the model.

Photos include the complete table, underside, leg/apron construction, hardware, top grain and former label location.

Hey guys!

I am working on trying to revive the Mid-century, Space-Age Aluminum Tree! I have been researching and planning for over 6 months now with more to do; but I am running tighter and tighter on funds. If this interests you, I'd be so grateful for your support! (Even if that just means helping me share it!)

The pink tree was my prototype from a few years ago. The final design will look different and be made with Aluminum fringe and have a more planned out structure! ✨️✨️

My ultimate goal is to be able to create work for myself, and other folks with chronic illnesses, caretakers and others that can't work traditional jobs. Along with artists who need flexible hours to pursue their craft. All while making things that have the quality and care of the Mid Century.

It costs WAY more than $5k to start this, but I have enough from saving to go to LA to study blues before I got too sick to go. It's bittersweet but I believe in it and hopefully will create something that can bring me and others income from where we are at.

Anything helps and inches us towards our goal! I'm not that good at social media, so I really could use every bit of help I can get. 🩷

(I hope this is ok to post here. A big ol' "sorry" to the mods if it isn't!)

I'm down a rabbit hole trying to find this table. I don't think she's worth much, but I love her (she has a strong, womanly aura to me, sorry).

From my research and looking at her, I think she's an atomic style arborite/ formica end table. I can't, however, find anything online similar with the metal screen features.

I bought her at an antique store in the inner recesses of Indiana about 8 years ago, already painted pink (which was fine with me, I love pink), but I'd like to try to restore her, if that's possible.

I'd love any tips on how to remove the pink paint (the black legs are original) or any tips on how to identify her/ her design features, purely out of curiosity and frustration with the current state of search engines.

My carpets are getting replaced and walls painted this week, so don't judge.

This is our beloved 1960s inspired living room. Almost every piece has a story and it has taken many years to get here. The couch is an original 1960s Kingsley custom sectional still preserved in plastic, around it you can see our collection of clocks, and other fun things we've been able to acquire over the years. 35 years old but with vintage taste..

This specific tattoo is inspired by the fine art painting Above What's Beneath (Veiled Surface Iteration 16) by the contemporary abstract artist Kristopher Lionel.The original mixed-media painting features a broader composition with complex flowing archways and circular fields. This piece was adapted to fit a framed geometric format on the skin, retaining the signature gold, gray, and black block color scheme.
