You are one of the first people to describe MCM and pronounce Eames the correct way!! I have watched so many others who get the pronunciation wrong. How refreshing- Thank You.

I agree with you about mixing styles! I love the idea of an eclectic mix of styles. If done right,
they all actually compliment each other. I believe that at home, pieces you love always go together because they are a reflection of who you are.

My dad, who was an artist, was personal friends with Charles Eames and we had custom pieces given as gifts. Oh, how I wish I had some of those furniture pieces now!! They were sold for one tenth their worth when my mom died in 1985. My dad even rented Eames ' beach house in Santa Monica...those were the days. It is so interesting to me that the MCM is trending again (at Target!!!)
We had original wishbone chairs and a gorgeous white formica topped teak wood framed round coffee table that lasted for decades. It was so well made and durable. Maybe that's why it's never gone out of style? I like eclectic decor; a bit of everything collected over the years.
Maybe my beatnik parents had more influence over my style than I thought.

I was born in 63 and have discovered a love for pieces of MCM love the legs on MCM you're such a wealth of tangible knowledge and know how that's doable!

Mixing all about I like it how it’s pick and choose our own styles. Especially, translated by English finished detail touches. Are coming together. I also like how it also designed focuses on more details including some ideas on finishing touches.

This is very informative and I like that you explain the furniture pieces and show images.

Thanks for this. We bought a 1973 home yesterday that has a secret room still designed from back then, blue tub, toilet, sink, carpet, and glitter flower wallpaper.
I’m planning to leave that room as is, except the carpet.
I’m going to do MCM furniture throughout the house and mix bohemian and rustic decor because it has beautiful wood floors and a fireplace made from river rock, crystals, and petrified wood.

I 💚 midcentury modern home decor! I have decorated our home w many upcycled pieces Over the years. This was a great video! TFS your knowledge about MCM!! 🙂🙂

Great video Sarah with lots of good information and inspiration! Ty!

[DH-qzso]

Yes, I saw 'that video with that designer' as well... she is fun, and has some good thoughts, ... but I do believe that it is okay to mix and match....but more importantly, do what you like! What gives you joy!... and to collect decor pieces that speak to you, regardless of the rules...Love the church nursery! so classy!

Great video, I was just thinking of mixing mcm with bohemian (or as I would say hippie). Thanks for the advice and you are lovely by the way. Just wonderful 😀

[JChildersfilm]

I’ve been mixing mcm with post modern and it’s just a lovely contrast in pieces, going from the rigid mcm or bauhaus accent chairs with a post modern, more abstract/soft couch

[donovandelaney]

I like both Mid Century Modern furniture and Atomic Age furniture.

[christinafordhomedesignlif]

I totally agree with u!! U can mix any style it’s just a little advanced harder to do but very fun to do I do it all the time!

[trainingolives]

Every time I see MCM, I’m whisked back to my grandma’s house on a Sunday afternoon filled roast beef and potatoes amidst the cigarette smoke and endless gossip. 🤣 Her furniture was so uncomfortable even though it was stylish for her time. It’s probably my least favorite look overall, but I do really like some aspects of it, and my daughters LOVE it! I totally agree with mixing it with boho to soften it. I’ve seen that done a ton and it always looks great to me.

[maryklocek]

I’m a boomer✌🏻. My parents had a white fiberglass chair that my mother loved. My brother scribbled on it with a black permanent marker😱. Needless to say my mom was livid. Love your channel 🥰

[darleneakstayawhile]

I grew up with mid-century modern furniture in our home and I have always considered it so out of style until lately when I actually have been a little more drawn to it. Definitely like the softness and interest that Bohemian adds to it. Yes, to mixing styles!

[dvarela]

Thank you for giving folks permission to blend MCM with other styles. It’s actually being done alot and I don’t think folks realize that is what they are looking at.
