If you watched my Stories on Instagram over the last few days, you already know I was in LA for the Design Influencer's Conference.

Now that I own the Frame TV and can easily stream from the internet, I've been bingeing The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and am presently obsessed with her Mid-Century Modern decor style...so bewitched, that sometimes I forget about the storyline and just nerded out over the furniture. If you're a lover of 1950's interiors and fashion, rea[...]
It wasn't until recently that I started shopping thrift stores. The smell at Goodwill kinda skeezed me out, and more often than not, they are full of discarded junk that no one wants. Broke vases, mismatched glasses, holiday decor, old pots and pans, 100s of vases you get from the floral shop, fake Coach purses...shelf after shelf after[...]

Happy Thursday! Erica Reitman, The Design Ninja Extraordinaire, is stopping over today to talk about how to start a collection. I don't know about you, but I've got a ton...trophies, indigo, navy books, vintage barware...errrrmmmm *cough* chairs...ya let's not go there. But sometimes it all goes in a box, and I never know what to do with[...]
While meandering around the flea market a couple of months ago, I visited one of my favorite vendors. Since it was the last outdoor market of the season, this booth was filled with vintage treasures galore...but their Dorothy Draper dresser is what caught my eye. I'd been coveting one for years, but the price tag was always out of reach.[...]

But there's a fine line between staying in the now and time-warping back to The Brady Bunch. So how do you find that trending boho slash mid-century modern look and not have Marsha screaming, "Oh!
