Thanks to BazMcm over at Atomic Indy for this great resource for Mid-Century Modern Lighting. Check out Rejuvination Lighting - they have a great Mid-Century Modern Collection.

Fans of retro modern are not only keen for cool atomic ranches, vintage Dior dresses, cat eye glasses and“MadMen” on AMC. Vintage signs from the post modern era rank high on the list. Charlotte has some great mid-century era signs and Nonprofit Historic Charlotte, Inc. has partnered with Southern brew JFG coffee to help “Save Our Signs”.

It is pretty hard to miss the red box rising above the roofline of a classic designed traditional home in Charlotte's Foxcroft neighborhood! What will the neighbor's say? Dialect Design's Toby Witte and Jahan Nourbakhsh, teamed up with forward thinking home owners that wanted a cool modern addition that serves as a children's wing/cool playhouse. I really enjoyed meeting Toby and Jahan and touring this fun, modern design. These are some lucky kids!

This year mark's the 50th anniversary of Charlotte's Southern Spring Home & Garden Show (March3-7) which would put it's first year at 1960 - when mid-century modern design was going full throttle.  So the show is taking this opportunity to showcase Mid-Century Modern Design.  Ted Cleary, of Ted Cleary Studios is constructing a MCM home to showcase Modern Style as it relates to landscaping, architecture and inerior design. Wow!
