Mid Century, My Love

I grew up in a mid-century modern family. Plenty of sibs, mobility, cool parents with adventurous sensibilities.

So no wonder that the mid-century modern style is my style. I have my parents' teak dining room table and chairs, purchased for about $100 in 1963 or so at the Army post exchange in Orleans. An Eames-style chair and ottoman

Blenko glassware from my mom and grandmother and the nice antique shop at Trax Farms in Finleyville.

A teak hutch from a store in the North Hills. A pretty tulip chair from Craigslist.

I'm kind of an accumulator... which is not a problem with glassware, but the furniture starts to take up space. Hmmm.

Cincy has a cool show and I think it would be neat for Pittsburgh to have one, too.
