THE SMELL OF FRESH PINE in the living room, the tingle of hearing the first few strings of Nat King Cole’s “Christmas Song” and, yes, even brown paper packages tied up with string. These are a few of my untouchable Christmas moments—we all have them—if we didn’t get to experience them during the holidays, we’d feel robbed. It’s a funny conundrum being a shelter magazine editor this time of year: usually our jobs are to push the envelope, pull the curtain back on new ideas, change things up and highlight creative innovation in the world of architecture and design, and yet during Christmas, I never want to. This is when I truly feel that if everything is just as before, all is right in the world. So in this issue,…

LAST WINTER we asked our Atomic Ranch community to submit photos of their holiday décor. Tina Beasley Baggot aka @midcenturysouthern on Instagram took the crown and it’s no surprise. Her vibrant décor is a mix of nostalgic vintage finds and happy color. Her South Carolina home, built in 1967 Richard B. Pollman (Designer) and Irving E. Palmquist (Architect) is actually the only mid mod in her neighborhood. “From the rich California Redwood paneling in the den to the exterior bricks that were sourced from an old icehouse, every detail of the home was thoughtfully planned and executed,” Tina says of the custom build. “We worked with a local designer to remodel the kitchen in 2022 as it was in very poor shape, but the majority of the house is in…

THEY ARE unmistakable. Modeline lamps with their often massive size, their amorphous shapes and made from glowing curved wood can be spotted a mile away even in the most dense vintage market, shop or gallery. And that’s exactly how they were designed to be. Bernie and Esther Roberts, saw that while the American interior was propelling forward into the kind of futuristic and streamlined modernism that this whole magazine is about, yet the everyday lamp and lighting fixture had failed to keep pace. So they launched Modeline, aiming to create fresh new lighting styles that would match the furniture being designed but also be artful expressions of it’s owner’s personality and tastes. In his new book Modeline of California, author Nick Ferrell took a deep dive—the first of its kind—into…

IN THE SLEEK, optimistic glow of the mid-century modern era, American life was rapidly transforming—design, technology, and culture converged in bold, futuristic ways. Amid the clean lines of Eames chairs and the rise of suburbia, one quiet yet revolutionary invention reshaped consumer culture forever: the credit card. The first widely recognized credit card, the Diners Club card, debuted in 1950. Created by Frank McNamara, Ralph Schneider, and Matty Simmons, the card was born from a simple inconvenience—McNamara had forgotten his wallet while dining out. What emerged from that moment was a charge card usable at multiple restaurants, a novel concept at the time. Unlike store-specific credit accounts that had existed prior, the Diners Club card was the first to break boundaries, allowing members to charge purchases across various businesses. Its…

ATOMIC ERA-INSPIRED KITCHENS are timeless for a reason. Clean lines, rich wood cabinetry, sculptural lighting, and brilliant retro color palettes add personality to today’s contemporary homes. But what can be done if you want an MCM style kitchen that leans into other eras? That’s what the homeowners of this recently renovated kitchen wanted: a kitchen that embraces Mid Mod style but is still eclectic with a mash of different aesthetics, including an 80s inspired feel. THIS OLD HOUSE Set in the heart of Denver, this kitchen renovation completed by Katie Schroder, owner and principal designer at Atelier Interior Design, is a thoughtful renovation of a historic home built in the early 1900’s that artfully blends the charm of its original architecture with the vibrancy of a modern young family that…

THE FUTURE WAS SHINY IN THE 1950s, Shiny Brite. These vividly colored glass baubles, with their bold hues and reflective finishes, are more than just Christmas tree trimmings—they’re nostalgic symbols of postwar optimism and highly sought-after collectibles today. Shiny Brite was born in the 1930s, the brainchild of German immigrant Max Eckardt. Originally, Eckardt imported glass ornaments from Germany, but with the looming threat of war, he shifted production to the United States. Partnering with the Corning Glass Company, he introduced a domestically made ornament that could be mass-produced using existing lightbulb manufacturing equipment. By the 1940s and 1950s, Shiny Brite was producing millions of ornaments annually, filling American homes with gleaming spheres, indents, and striped wonders that reflected the prosperity and modernity of the era. Their designs mirrored the…
