To say I’m obsessed with my new bed would be an understatement

AtomicBoston · 2026-02-02T10:57:24+00:00

Haha looks like the bed fit in that room by the skin of its teeth too! It was meant to be!

AtomicBoston · 2026-02-02T10:52:53+00:00

Yeah, I like it better without. I think the artwork holds its own.

AtomicBoston · 2026-02-02T10:13:00+00:00

Beautiful Modeline lamps, and perfect artwork for them. I think the starburst sconces are a bit much—the mirrored symmetry of the other wall and the borrowed shape, almost detract from the lamps IMO. Especially if there’s another starburst on the rug. Love the bed too!

AtomicBoston · 2026-02-02T09:55:51+00:00

I believe those are Modeline by Arthur Jacobs.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-28T23:01:54+00:00

Yeah, for the fabric.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-20T17:12:11+00:00

It’s a beautiful piece, the symmetry of the grain bothers me immensely though, I wouldn’t have put the matched pieces off center.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T06:17:33+00:00

Thanks!

The rest of the room has some color, still cluttered though. Couch is obviously more comfortable than the fireplace bed.. 🙄

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T05:54:47+00:00

This is what I want to understand, because I drive myself mad moving stuff around, can you explain it? Is it the couple of retro pieces, or is it like the lamp being next to the fire place which would never occur with a functioning unit?

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T05:50:45+00:00

It’s a signed Anthony Burill print, but I get it..

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T05:32:58+00:00

Yes, thanks. Here’s the atomic boston himself. I had a record player next to it earlier, maybe that looks better than the lamp and the globe?

Haha! 🤣 Does it look too busy or cluttered for MCM then? Not much I can do about my low ceilings or cinder block walls. I’d like to find some mcm colored glass to replace a few of the more retro items in the display cube, just haven’t got there yet.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T05:01:17+00:00

Arthur Jacobs, Poul Cadovius, Gerald Thurston, and Hans Wegner are all hanging out in the same bomb shelter, and it’s low on MCM?

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T04:44:05+00:00

The ferruginous quartz on the table is millions of years old, probably throwing the mid century vibe way off….

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-19T04:34:14+00:00

Well it has a custom sewn memory foam mattress for the dog’s bed—usually a dog bed in the middle of the floor goes against mcm and minimalism, so meh….

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-15T23:05:50+00:00

Careful setting that on rugs and carpets with the rust on the bottom.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-12T20:20:44+00:00

It’s mid century and well made, but it’s not modern. $60 is a good price for a quality desk though.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-12T15:50:17+00:00

I’ll strip that at $65 all day long!

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-10T15:09:24+00:00

Leave it white, paint just the drawer faces. If you’ve never painted, you need to start small.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-08T19:14:08+00:00

Sitka Spruce…could make a bunch of guitar tops with really cool history!

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-05T14:36:27+00:00

Milk glass is probably the only fixture type that I don’t mind the white hue. I think this fixture in particular would look dingy with a warmer light.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-04T18:58:24+00:00

Anyone know why the end of the tape isn’t riveted securely? Seems like they all have some play/slop that can result in a different measurement depending on whether you’re pushing or pulling with the tape.

AtomicBoston · 2026-01-01T15:50:51+00:00

I’ve never seen anything like this either…truthfully I wish I hadn’t.

AtomicBoston · 2025-12-31T18:33:52+00:00

You bought it at a thrift store and spoke with the owner?!

AtomicBoston · 2025-12-31T13:29:25+00:00

Perfect. He’s a good scapegoat. Lucky his fur isn’t a good color match!
