I can’t really call myself a Mad Men fan, to be honest, I’ve never even watched the show (I know, I know)… So when Chairish (an online marketplace where people can buy and sell amazing used and vintage furniture and fashion accessories) contacted me and asked if I would make a style board using mid-century modern items from their site, I was surprised and excited to give it a chance. After all, I do love some of the clean lines and designs of the traditional mid-century modern styles.
I was amazed as to how many choices Chairish has to offer. If you’re feeling a bit lost when you first log on to their website, fear not. Chairish allows you to narrow your search by style or location.
After browsing their website for a while I decided to have some fun and put together an inspiration board for my teenage daughter’s bedroom, with a touch of pink that I know she would just love. Mid-century modern is usually associated with browns and greens, but you can definitely mix it up with some color and I also chose to add a few gold accent pieces. Take a look at the beautiful items I found:
- Mid Century Paul Mayen Habitat Floor Lamp; $1,400
- Sun Burst Large Gilt Wood Wall Mirror; $1,430
- Pure Love Painting by Linda Colletta; $600
- Hot Pink LSA Cylinder Vase; $160 and Tall Empoli Cased Glass Vase; $325
- Vintage Brass Elephant Bookends; $95 for the pair
- Mid-Century Campaign Style Desk Ivory ; $1,089
- Palm Leaf Hand-Crafted Waste Basket; $45
- Custom Tufted Square Ottoman 43″; $2,200
- Atomic Chair in Pink Floral Pattern; $809
One of my favorite pieces is the chair and my daughter loves elephants so I think she would really enjoy the bookends. If you’re looking to redecorate some rooms in your house, or if you simply want to experiment with some different ideas and designs, I urge to visit www.chairish.com, and have some fun!
What do you think of mid-century modern look? What types of designs are your favorite?

Seriously, what teen girl wouldn’t love those things in their room? My oldest is going to be 11 this summer and I was thinking about a tween room do-over this summer for him.
