MODERN LIFE: October 2012

http://modernlifeonline.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 12. Depending on the light, this upholstery shines from tangerine to coral, with raspberry, lemon and grass green details. I've paired it with the white overpainted Danish arm chair below, and the nubby raspberry brocade on that chair POPS! So mix it with Danish, retro or Ikea color! Posted by Cynthia Black.

Sunday, December 30. Stumbled across this Wordpress blog today. So far looks wonderfully populated with vintage images from the 50's through 70's. Lots of inspiration potential.

MODERN LIFE: April 2011

http://modernlifeonline.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 5. As you know I adore DIY and myself tend to choose the more rough and tumbled look of metal, rust and concrete - everything urban- and generally shy away from what I satirically term the Etsy-Ate-Anthropology look; just too twirlygirl, if you know what I mean. Recently though I came across a home decor site, Dream Book Design. That while influenced by the Euro-world Anthropology look and Apartment Therapy layout, manages a very specific point of view (so far). To keep it grounded. Links ...

MODERN LIFE: March 2011

http://modernlifeonline.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 27. HACKED: IKEA Frosta hack - something you should know! As you know, I ADORE all things DIY and not that you haven't already read it, but Apartment Therapy has a list on their current Weekend Inspiration page. Of ten projects for bedroom, kitchen and seating. My personal favorite is How to Hack an IKEA Frosta Stool. So it can look more like the original Alvar Aalto original (60). Well, Aalto DID make a four-legged stool (60E) - basically the Frosta stool- just so you know. You can easily ...

MODERN LIFE: January 2013

http://modernlifeonline.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 5. Romantic Modern - FINALLY! For at least two years I've been working to put together romantic and modern. This must be the same urge home decorators had in the 50's and 60's when they found the sparse and uncluttered lines of mid-century Danish leaving their homes full of flesh and blood people (not designers) feeling unwelcome somehow. Today, on the interior goods site Graham and Brown, I found this pairing of Art Nouveau and Mid-century modern and nearly gasped! Links to this post.

MODERN LIFE: April 2010

http://modernlifeonline.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 23. On Earth Day week I find myself short-tempered and bitter. "Green" has been co-opted by corporate wasters that the movement intended to stop. Aside from environmentalists refusing to use their detractors wildly successful advertising strategies themselves I wonder, how did they go wrong? To that problem of a failed process I bring an older piece with a possible solution that starts on the ground floor- Facebook Suicide. Links to this post. Monday, April 19. Links to this post.
