Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]

Mike Witt designs rooms with a modern aesthetic with more than a nod to mid-century influences. Is it obvious that he has spent years of studying, buying and selling 20th century decorative and fine arts? To me these spaces are classics of the future. Even though he uses finishes that may be thought cold [...]

I’m a smoker - I admit it. What I remember most about growing up were the cool ashtrays of the 60s that my father used to have. With so few people smoking nowadays, I thought it would be a good “green” idea to recycle these beautiful pieces into other things like catchalls or fruit bowls. [...]

I am a big fan of knock-offs, particularly since I (a) am always on a budget, and (b) I have a 6 year old that likes to destroy furniture during his adventures throughout the house. I cannot put a $550 Eames chair in the living room simply because it will be probably be nicked, ridden [...]
