Hi!

Welcome to Mid-Century Modern Interiors.

I confess I started this blog to scratch my own itch, which is my appreciation of the design, architecture, furnishings, art, electronics, and all the rest that made up that remarkable explosion of brilliance and creativity that began in America immediately after the end of WWII and continued for another twelve or so years, say from 1946 to 1958.

The Web is a wonderful place, full of treasures almost too numerous to count, but the problem is finding them. What I hope to do here is to establish a general and wide-ranging repository for all things relating to mid-century interior design, with an emphasis on photographic and video presentations of the interiors, architecture, and popular culture I enjoyed and loved so much.

I will do as much as I can, but I confess, the task will be easier with your help. So I'm asking you for your own contributions, your photos or videos, or your stories and reminiscences of either the past or the present rooms that have made you happy or thrilled you with the descovery of a new way of living, and a new way of looking at the way you live.

Just so you know where I am coming from, here are a couple of snaps of my own living room. I hope you enjoy them!
