Living Rooms, Bedrooms, Bars & More

Furnishing your mid century living room, bedroom, home tiki bar, and other living spaces can be so expressive. Hows about that fantastic Drexel Plus One bedroom set! I also have a super soft spot for vintage basement rumpus rooms and bars -- like Amy's Naughty Pine Lounge. And we're always kinda obsessed with where to find a quilted, fitted bedspread -- it gets more difficult every year!
