Documenting the re-imagining of our mid-century modern, yet affordable, home.
Paisley
Blu-dot modulicious console. Picked up on Craigslist. A bargain but a bear to move. Really the perfect size and look for this space.
Wall clock in kitchen. We got this at Target a couple years ago for around $20. It’s the Dror for Target spin clock. I love it personally. It’s plastic faux walnut. The orange arms add a touch of color. It’s mid-century inspired so fits with our style.
You can see new paint on the kitchen wall too. It was a blue color previously. We can’t stand blue rooms so a light grey brightened it up and de-blued as much as possible (there is some blue-grey backsplash we kept).
Slightly modified Ikea Mandal dresser.
We liked that, though Ikea, it was a solid wood frame. We also liked the price. And the design is similar to the very nice but expensive Blu Dot Modu-licious. But we didn’t like the original feet. So we opted to get 4” stainless steel hairpin legs from Ian Maclean. They are the exact height of the original wooden feet, which is nice. High quality also. Adds a little class to an otherwise simple dresser.
