The expansion of Mid-Century Style

We’ve finally gotten organized and launched Mid-Century Motels! It’s still in it’s infant stages, but look for posts over the next few weeks with more motels and more pictures! Please let me know if there are motels you’ve stayed at that should be highlighted. I’m going to be scouring the internet, but I’d love input […]

What NOT to do to a mid-century home

Such an awesome post and I absolutely can’t agree more – go check out “No pattern Required”. What NOT to do to a mid-century home. Seriously, tell your friends, relatives and spread the news it’s a bad thing! Just like destroying a bungalow or “updating” a victorian. Stop it people! More on this and our […]

Mad Men is coming, video and Ning group update

Pam posted this on her site, but thought you’d all love to see it. By the way, Sunday July 25th marks the return! YAY! Oh, and then the dramas with the Mid-Century Ning group. Ning is going to an all paid service. So, I might move the group – I’m looking at alternatives, I’ve never […]

Contest over at Modern Capital – Know your architects?

Mike over at “Modern Capital” is curious if you know 12 Architects who have appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. I have to say, I wouldn’t have a clue, but I’ll be watching and learning! And the prize: The first person who e-mails me with the names of the 12 architects who have appeared […]

Check out my post on the subject if you […]

Sadly, I'm small potatoes

I guess every blogger runs the risk of announcing something huge only to have it smacked away. About 6 months ago it looked like I was a slam dunk for an interview with Amy Wells about “Mad Men”. Sigh. Well, I think I’ve officially been blown off. It was all lined up – except a […]

An "I wish I would have thought of this" blog!

“No Pattern Required” is one of my regular reads – and not because she has a lot of the same “passions” I do (not that that isn’t a HUGE draw for all the blogs I read), but because I LOVE her “Mid-Century Menu” feature where she cooks recipes straight out of 50’s cookbooks and magazines […]

New Blogroll down the side

Well I have a couple of interesting posts coming soon, but I wanted to take a minute and point out my Google Reader Blogroll down the side (right side scroll down a bit). I just worked out how to take my list and put them here where you can see the relevant blogs I read […]

A couple good reads for Mid-Century fans

Was just surfing the midcentury lifestyle and found this nifty site: http://www.midcenturymodernist.com/ – LOVE the article on the offices (esp if you’re a Mad Men fan). Then my friend Staci sent me this rocking little article on a groovy 60’s Rambler in the Seattle area – neat find! My only complaint is that there aren’t more […]
