It is that time of year
again and we will again
be listing larger
furniture items on
that can be picked up

Porch"

You may have noticed
lately that the design
magazines are
combining mid century
modern with Victorian
1840-1880, Early
American 1608 - 1720
or Eclectic 1840-1880,
to name a few. This
mixing of periods and
styles make decorating
more interesting. The
main concerns are
placement of
furnishings, color
combinations and the
image you want your
home to project.
Periodically we will be
adding decorating tips
and tricks and color
combinations that
match the item listed
At Modern Abode the
focus is on Paul
McCobb, Alvar Aalto,
Eero Saarinen or
Herman Miller plus
many more designers.
Only authentic pieces.

When you purchase
Mid Century
Modern furnishings
and accessories you
are contributing to a
green earth as you
are reusing and also
preserving world
heritage. An
understanding of
what constitutes
good design is
essential if your
decorating is to be
successful.
Harmony,
proportion, balance,
rhythm and
emphasis are these
principles. In most
cases you will find
we have already
done the good design
work for you as
good design attracts
and pleases the eye.
At Modern Abode
we seek out the
usual that can be
used as an art form
as well as being
functional.
