We also talked about some <strong><span style="color: blue;">interior features</span></strong> that were common, including <strong><span style="color: blue;">post and beam construction</span></strong> with <strong><span style="color: blue;">visible beams inside</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color: blue;">open floor plans</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color: blue;">expansive windows</span></strong>, the use of a <strong><span style="color: blue;">breezeways</span><span style="color: blue;"> </span></strong>connecting the living area and the carport.<br /><br />As much as we love the design of Alexander Homes outside, I am even more interested in the design inside. The reason for this is, like many of you, <strong><span style="color: blue;">the outside of our domicile is kind of set</span></strong> – we live in a 70’s neighborhood full of split levels and ranches, and it would take major work, and major bucks, to transform our beloved AcornHill into a Mid-Century Masterpiece -- <strong><span style="color: blue;">plus the villagers would doubtless rise up and burn us down for being heretics</span></strong> if we did so. And so, although we’ve spruced up the outside of our home, it’s probably never going to be a mid-century looking beauty from the street – just cottage cute. <br /><br />The inside is a different story altogether. Whether you live in an apartment, a condo, your parent’s home, or your own home, <strong><span style="color: blue;">the inside décor is a blank canvas</span></strong>, and <strong><span style="color: blue;">we can do all sorts of cool and crazy stuff with the inside!</span></strong> Of course, some may have more money to put into interior décor than others, but that only means you may need to scrounge or thrift more, or be more creative, which is<strong><span style="color: blue;"> fun</span></strong> anyhow.<br /><br />The pictures that follow don’t rock every room in the house, I’m not interested in ordinary kitchens, baths or basements (which these homes probably lack, they were most probably built on a slab), but the rooms that showcase what the Alexander Home architecture of butterfly roofs, expansive windows, and open floor plans bought for these interiors. I also <strong><span style="color: blue;">love seeing the Mid-Century story play out with the furniture and jewelry of these rooms.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: black;">Hope you enjoy!</span><br /><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Shine On!</span><em> <strong>Braxton</strong></em></span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

It’s hot.<br /><br /><span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafitti">Wikipedia</a></span> defines it as follows:<br /><br /><span style="color: purple;">“Graffiti …is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.”</span><br /><br />So like it’s not like new…yeah. But it <em>feels</em> <strong><span style="color: blue;">new</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color: blue;">hot</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color: blue;">edgy</span></strong>. It’s <strong><span style="color: blue;">Pop Art</span></strong>, which we love for our own design. It’s something I’m really interested in bringing into home décor, just because it is <strong><span style="color: blue;">colorful</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color: blue;">fresh</span></strong>, rocks an <strong><span style="color: blue;">in your face anti-establishment vibe</span></strong>, and so <strong><span style="color: blue;">democratic</span></strong>. It’s free art we can all enjoy - not locked away in a mansion or even a museum. <br /><br />It has gotten popular enough that you can find art books on it. The controversy is, since this art is generally vandalism, a crime, it’s also anonymous - so when a company uses someone’s art to make money, shouldn’t they pay a royalty to the artist? Exactly how would they do that? I don’t know. <br /><br />Some graffiti is writing on the bathroom wall, and annoying, but some is <strong><span style="color: blue;">wonderfully beautiful</span></strong> or <strong><span style="color: blue;">funny</span></strong> and <strong><span style="color: blue;">thought provoking</span></strong> like <strong><span style="color: red;">Banksy</span></strong>, and done by incredibly talented artists.<br /><br />We don’t often see Graffiti in home décor, though, at least not in the burbs. I thought I would do a little research and see if this cool art had made it’s way into decorating yet – furniture, walls, floors, etc. What follows is a snapshot of what I found. <br /><br />Hope you enjoy! Shine on! <strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Braxton </span></em></strong><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtWs_ISDLMgH2TOFjSpON-Yy9razMgGRDyuHI_pYiUcs55k4nw1HvWXBQJByl6RYBxGReL9ckCkABtiyQuygcRE9Dxe1WGwEollZHrLP98MMwU4gHXzdudGwg2lfTatNu7ZPQvb-eTnOEC/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-02-17-at-6_08_55-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Atomic Lamps - Mid-Century Modern Design

Yancey posted the photos yesterday. <strong><span style="color: blue;">Screams Mid-Century</span></strong>, and as you may know, we love to have something in each room that doesn't just rock Mid-Century, but screams it.<br /><br />I did a little research to find the manufacturer and value of our two atomic lamps online. Although I failed miserably in my quest so far – there are <strong><span style="color: blue;">LOTS of atomic styled lamps out there from the 50s and 60s</span></strong> - I found some pretty cool examples I thought I would share as design muses.<br /><br />Atomic design doesn’t seem to be a recognized design style. Some use the term <strong><span style="color: blue;">Atomic style as a synonym for Mid-Century Modern</span></strong>, which <u><em>is</em></u> a recognized style popular in the post war Atomic Age in the 50’s and 60’s. The fascination with and celebration of science and technology in that day inspired designers to use scientific symbols like the atom or crystal, or organic forms in their designs. <br /><br />So basically, any mid-century modern design can be said to be Atomic Style, whether it actually uses the atom as a design motif or not. For me, I am especially interested in atomic design that actually rocks the atom as a design element, like our thrifted lamps. The pictures that follow are more of that variety. <br /><br />These are <strong><span style="color: blue;">lamps George Jetson would love.</span></strong><br /><br />Hope you enjoy! <br />Shine on! <strong><span style="color: blue;"><em>Braxton </em></span></strong><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
