Mid-Century Art: Arno Dufour

Arno Dufour is an illustrator and designer from Paris who recently came out with Splashes and Stripes.

I love this print, it reminds me of Roy Lichtenstein's Interiors work. Except, you know, exterior.

Mid-Century Globe Light at Austin Vintage Store

I was out Austin vintage store hoping and happened upon a mid-century globe light (hung above some great vintage cowboy boots).

A globe light like this would be the perfect centerpiece in any travel-themed nursery.

Mid-Century House Numbers on a Vintage Store

I stopped by Remixologie before it closed. I didn't find anything I needed, but I did notice their mid-century address numbers for the first time.

They're Distinction numbers (a.k.a. my favorite cheap modern address numbers) on a simple board with an interesting angle cut. It's pretty similar to what we did for our DIY mid-century house numbers, but I like the addition of the angle cut; it gives it more of an atomic ranch feel.

Mid-Century Furniture Auction in Austin

Part of my weekend was spent bidding at the Austin Auction Gallery's "Italian and Danish Mid-Century Modern" auction. I was lucky enough to be be the high bidder on two items: This Danish rosewood wall unit

And this Italian mahogany mid-century modern bed.

The wall unit will go in the dining room (instead of installing a series of shelves) and the bed will go in the kid's room as a big-kid bed.

You could have opened your own vintage store with all the mid-century furniture on sale this weekend, and most of the items went for much less than I would have expected. (We got great deals on both of our pieces.) Although, all of the sideboards and buffets fetched a pretty penny. I guess a few of my Vintage Views interviewees were right when they said, people always need something to put their TV on.

Mid-Century Art: Neal McCullough

Neal McCullough, also known as Hand Drawn Creative, has a new set of mid-century art prints called Asseyez-Vous. For those of you who didn't take two years of French in college (or just use Google Translate because you forgot it all), asseyez-vous means sit down.

Outside of this set, McCullough has some other mid-century style art prints that would fit in a modern home, like this red Westy print.

And this Fisher-Price inspired piece that would look great in any travel-themed kid's room.
