Mini Midcentury

I think the reason I love midcentury modern is because of the clean, simple lines.  They are simply timeless. 

I made the sofa.  It was originally from a kit that was very traditional, but I modified it a bit.  The orange upholstery is an irridescent dupioni silk.  I have been looking for this fabric for months and found it a local fabric shop on clearance no less!  I know, the pillows are a little matchy, matchy with the draperies.  I didn't plan that.

This copy of a midcentury modern floor lamp (the maker escapes me) is by minisx2. Isn't it beautiful? The craftsmanship is amazing!  Thanks to Meagan at Tiny Fixation and her turorial on lighting, I finally worked up the nerve to light something up. It was so easy and I can't wait to start lighting more things.

The coffee table is an Ebay find and the decorative dish is Re-ment.

    Love the orange fabric! Your sofa turned out great. I'm curious - what kit did you use/modify?

      I really have no idea. It wasn't a brand name. I'll see if I can find the package.

    Love it all! The silk is yummy. Why are we all so afraid of lighting things?
