Mid-Century Modern Inspiration

Just Modern started from our passion for mid-century modern decor, architecture and style.  We spend hours combing the Internet for inspiration. Even though Just Modern specializes in new items that reflect those from the 40's - 60's, we love finding authentic pieces for ideas and for our personal use.  If you share the same passion, here are some great ways to find what you are looking for:


Authentic Mid-Century Decor


Ebay is probably the best source for purchasing authentic items.  Search for "mid century modern" and you will find thousands accessories and furnishings.  Some of our favorite purchases have been signs, glass, globes, ashtrays, tins, furniture and advertisements.

Etsy is now one of my favorite sites. Next to the search box, select the "Vintage" category.  Again, you will find so many authentic items.  

Mid Century Modern Finds (MCFM) out of San Francisco has a great selection of vintage furniture and accessories. What I love most about their site are the photos and how they have their items displayed.  

Retro Art Glass - If you are like, you probably love the glass products of the 40's, 50's and 60's.  Retro Art Glass has one of the best collections I have found on the Internet.  

Mid Century Modern Architecture

Paul Kaplin Realtor showcases mid century modern homes. The original designs and architecture on this site are amazing.  Most of the homes are in the Palm Springs' area and the photos are professional.  This site is also a great source if you are in the market to buy (or sell) a home in the area.  Additionally, Paul has a really nice blog and resource page.

The Mid-Century Modernist also showcases homes, has some of the best vintage photographs and links to other mid-century modern resources.

Eichler Design (Enter the World of Eichler Design) is a really fun site to browse.  Again, great photos, plus original Eichler home brochures!

Hope you enjoy the links.  Please let us know your favorites!
