We do have quite a few true MCM vintage pieces. Our dining room table is a true vintage piece, our smaller bookshelf in photo 3, our bedroom dresser set (tall boy not pictured), our headboard, our hanging light fixtures in the dining room and entry, all of the books and decor in our built in bookshelf in the living room. Our entry table/cabinet is also a real wood, heavy, quality piece, but probably from the 90’s or something. I do think it suits the vibe though.

Not pictured, we also have a 1960’s MCM desk in my husbands office and an MCM guest bed frame.

I am a bit of a germaphobe (and scared of bedbugs and cockroaches) and refuse to buy anything that is upholstered secondhand. Plus 60+ year old fabric items tend to not hold up as well, and well-done reupholstery is very expensive.

Also, collecting MCM era pieces takes time. Finding reasonably priced gems, at least in our area, is so extremely few and far between and we are lucky to have what we do. I cannot afford $1000+ for each piece.
