I wish I lived in the 1960's!

I adore mid century modern design and have tried to incorporate in to the design of my house which was created by my husband architect Ciaran McCoy. 

We have little touches around the house including a mid century bar cart, 1960's sewing machine and a G Plan sideboard.




I think I am looking somewhat Mid Century Modern in this mustard dress posed beside my sister's bar (the red chair adds to effect).



One of the biggest design nods to Mid Century Modern is our conversation pit which is modelled on Sam Stephenson's amazing conversation pit in his Leeson Street house.



All of the above brings me to tell you about a brilliant resource that I use online. I am a member of a Mid Century Modern group on Facebook.  It is run by DC Hillier who really knows his stuff!!

DC runs the excellent mcmdaily.com website. DC plans to take his website to the next level  and wants to turn his website in to a full time venture with more media based content.

In order to get this venture up and running he is crowd funding for his website.  By supporting him through donating to his crowd funding request you also have a chance to win a most amazing prize!!

Check this baby out....



It's a 1996 fully restored Clairtone Project G2 stereo which has a market value of $25,000!! 

I'm heading on to the crowdfunding kickstarter page now to support MCM Daily - click here if you would like to also!
