How did you catch the mid-century modern bug?

By lushpad

I was digging through some old photos recently and came upon a picture of my first house in Edmonton. Alberta. I was about 21 when I fell in love with retro 1950s design and of course, being a designer I had to go whole hog and furnish and renovate my 1950’s bungalow down to every tiny retro detail.

My first house - and love affair - with mid-century modern

Since then my tastes have become somewhat more refined, but that pink couch is still with me albeit reupholstered in a beautiful gun metal gray felt, and I’ve packed that turquoise slipper chair I bought for $15 at a farm sale in rural Alberta to Vancouver, Amsterdam, and back to Vancouver again.

Which leads me to wonder… how did your love affair with mid-century modern start?

Grew up with Danish Modern furniture ... my Mom loved clean, simple lines and a minimal amount of "knick-knacks".
