I still remember this really old credenza at my grandmother's home I used to love to hate. It always felt so so aged and boring, bringing old memories of past lives right in front of my unsettling childish eyes. Little did I know back then that I'd pray to hold that piece of furniture now. But, that's how things (ehem, trends) work, right? As soon as something gets lost time and relentlessly fades out of our memories then it is always a great idea to bring it back, in a rejuvenated style frame to suit our contemporary lifestyle needs. So is the mid century credenza. This bloody piece of furniture seems to be everywhere these days. Actually, it is not only the credenza with the sliding cabinet doors, the often recessed drawer pulls and the slim legs that resides in the eclectic homes of the contemporary sophisticated elite; you will find all types of modern, danish inspired furniture and accents as well, from amazing armchairs and side tables to exquisite futuristic chandeliers and decoratives. This, however, post is purely dedicated to this one piece that I grew up with then grew out of but would mostly love to have it in my home again. The modern credenza is here to stay.

I'm curious; are you a fan of mid century modern? Do you own a vintage piece or thinking of adopting one?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful statement pieces, Eleni. No need to say that I love the plants and ceramics as much as I do the credenzas:-) Filakia!
ReplyDeleteείναι όλα ένα κ ένα. θα μου ήταν πολύ δύσκολο να διαλέξω κάποιο. τα λατρεύω όλα!!
ReplyDeleteI love mid-century-modern and I live in a 60s apartment with few original pieces from that period!
ReplyDeletehow gorgeous is that credenza and i just love the whole mid century look- but who doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I come from Russia and find it so sad that Russians get rid of all their soviet mid century pieces. I myself totally love them and am being on in a search of a perfect MCM sideboard.
ReplyDeleteWell said! I love them all, but can definitely relate- in my younger days Mid-Century anything seemed so grandma-ish!
ReplyDeleteMe gustan mucho todos los muebles de las fotos
