[quote=Anonymous]People need to separate the junk midcentury that was left in people's basements by the 1980s, with the well done and well preserved midcentury like the last few pics posted above - which are stunning.  The former category is kitsch; the latter is timeless and has always had people drooling over them. There are very few architectural styles that, when done properly, are true works of art in their own right.  I'm not talking about 1950s ranch houses that channel midcentury style.  I'm talking about true midcentury homes.

I have always gravitated towards midcentury style. My first major piece of furniture when we bought our house in 2003 was a vintage credenza from Upscale Resale.  It was minimalist and cool and $350. Turns out it was a famous designer who has since had a revival.  We were lucky enough to buy a vintage mcm home a few years ago, but it had been fully redone and updated in 2000 (by the original architect - so all true to style).  The vintage stuff i've been collecting works very well in the house, but we have a fine line that we can't go overboard on mcm furniture in our house or it starts looking kitsch.  The house itself is a work of art (a bit like the pics above) that the furniture shouldn't try so hard.
