Club Mid
When Annette and I bought our first house, it sported shag carpet, paneling, lauan trim, and harvest-gold kitchen appliances. Without enough furniture from our two-bedroom apartment to fill our three-bedroom split foyer, we soon acquired a bunch of midcentury furniture, not because it was trendy or stylish but because it was cheap and plentiful at tag sales. (Probably because we were a lot closer to the middle of the century than we are now!) Now, almost 34 years later, my son, Colby, and his wife, Jenny (above), have bought a house just 15 minutes away from us. Although it’s a couple of decades older than our first house, it has “good bones,” and came with a 5-year-old kitchen remodel. Like us, they’re now filling rooms they never had with midcentury furniture found…
