Anthony,

I can't get enough of it!!! I love mid century modern. My downtown condo is filled with mid century modern pieces. Almost everything I have is older than me, most pieces as old as my parents!

It's simple (IMHO)... Mid century modern has nice lines. Clean, classic lines. In many ways, mid century modern also involves more in-balance living.Mid century modern houses weren't massive, at least not most of them. The houses were just big enough, filled with items that were just cool enough. Not excess, not over-sized.

For me, mid century modern design feels really grounded. I enjoy the fact that many of the pieces have history. Nothing I have is big name designer, and that doesn't matter. I enjoy thinking that someone else sat in this chair, at that table... There's a permanence to it. Everything changes, but the furniture is still here...

For many people who enjoy modern design, mid century design is also a better price point entrance. Brand new modern houses, as well as brand new designer furniture, is cost prohibitive for most. On a tighter budget, mid century modern provides an entry point that is still smart and makes a statement.

Vicki cracks me up!!!! Vicki, shag is already back!!!! ;) Albeit, not that long shag, but in Seattle the plain straight thread carpet is not so stylish any more...
