thoroughly modern 50.

oh, how i adore just everything single thing at modern 50. their inventory list is endlessly unique and full of hard to find vintage treasures. i’d love to spend a long afternoon scouring their warehouse, alas it is in sterling, virginia — but, perhaps one fine day!

until then, i picked out some of my favorite modern 50 items to share with you. modern 50 specializes in reclaiming salvaged materials, using uncommon combinations and adhering to a policy of delivering the unexpected and the unforgettable, from age worn civil war era finds, to mid-century modern and everything in-between.













black & white & gorgeous all over.
i have to say that door sixteen’s post inspired me to seek out more black & white goodness. some pretty interiors with black as a focal point to enhance all the color and contrast it brings out. i’ve been kind of craving a black leather sofa lately, so here’s a look at some more black, white and gorgeous all over.

just jayson.

i’ve recently discovered this online home furnishings and accessories shop, JAYSON HOME & GARDEN, based out of chicago, that has some really, really great pieces and most are quite affordable. some of jayson’s pieces are more collectibles, so some have higher price tags, but they’ve got a wonderful line of modern sofas at quite reasonable prices (and some are currently on sale!), as well! and a whole line of unusual antique and vintage wares. i just wanted to share some of the unique, personal favorites i found at jayson home & garden.





Simply Fabulous.
I’ve been noticing a lot more furniture on Etsy of late, and while looking around to see what’s new, I discovered this shop, Fabulous Pieces. Here’s a look at some of their refurbished, updated pieces that have been given some mighty fine face lifts. Fabulous Pieces prices are reasonable, and I like their creative incarnations.
Antique chair with patina bronze finish.
Green lacquered small chest of drawers.
Pair of vintage gilded chairs with pink upholstery.
Ornate backed chair with zebra upholstered seat.
