Mid Century Monday #9 – Eames chairs and kitchen scores

It’s been harder for me to come up with Mid Century Modern posts these days. Not because I love the style any less, but because stuff is pricey and we aren’t buying stuff left and right.

I do have a little spot of Mid Cenury Modern decor to share with you today, though.

We found three Charles Eames for Herman Miller chairs a few weeks ago and decided to snatch them up. I don’t know for sure that we have a home for all three. So, some may only be here in passing. But at least one of these chairs is a keeper!

I really like the idea of period appropriate finds in the home, so we are always on the hunt. Just low key lately, because, well…Dave Ramsey and saving money and whatnot.

Here are the funky chairs. They belonged to Southeast Missouri University at some point, according to stickers. But they also had that Herman Miller stamp and I was so proud of myself for spying them!

Looking for makers marks on furniture is a fairly new concept for me.

These chairs are probably better suited at a desk, which works because I am in the process of looking for a desk. But, for now, they are fun in here and the orange works nicely with our vintage fireplace on the other side of the room.

Plus, they spin so the boys are in heaven. And we have that funky coffee table we found a few years ago that is equally retro and fun!

Today was an exciting day for Mid Century Modern finds because we were GIVEN some really cool pieces. I am especially digging this atomic veggie and dip tray!

And the colors on these are so cheerful! The coral is vintage Pyrex which I love. If you haven’t ever just Googled “vintage Pyrex” and seen some of the gorgeous colors and collections, it’s worth it.

And finally a full set of these pretty patterned dishes that go perfectly in our bright St. Charles Kitchen.

As usual, thanks for reading! Happy Mid Century Monday all!
