Oh perforated hourglass light fixtures, how I love thee! Chance to win!

Rejuvenation has re-issued one of my *favorite* Mid-Century light fixture designs based on the 1959 Stockholm series manufactured by EJS lighting. I have to say, they look fabulous. Great names too: "Galaxy," "Asterix," "Vektr," and "Spektr."

For their upcoming introduction in February, Rejuvenation is having a giveaway contest. Entries accepted through January 26, 2010, 12PM PST; only one entry per person; winner selects ONE fixture in finish of his/her choice.

A beautiful addition to any Mid-Century household. Hope your holiday season is out of this world! Oh, and before I forget: Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah.

Ho ho -- oh boy!

Psssst!

The biggest modern furniture (+ more) giveaway I've seen this year is up for grabs with more to come at Apartment Therapy et al. Sign up for an account then fill out a submission form for each posted item/one entry per post for a crack at the goodies offered on a daily basis. Per their Daily Update:

"... Born from the idea that a Gift Guide is better if you give the items away, we've arranged for over 100 shops to give great design items away to you. You can enter EVERY giveaway each day and the odds are GREAT, as over 100 people will be winners."

Don't miss it. Enter early/enter often. Let me know if you get lucky!

Give-away Contest at Home Sweet Split Level Blog

This is an MCM Public Service Announcement!

Occasionally I find out about MCM-related contests and promotions. I don't want to keep this intel to myself. Everybody likes a chance to win free stuff, right?

Our friends (and kindred tiki lovers) over at Home Sweet Split Level in Atlanta's NorthCrest neighborhood have hooked up with All Modern for a free give-away. Check out their awesome blog and their give-away contest, which ends on July 16th.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Part I

We currently live up the hill from our Eichler in another mid-century modern home. Every day our kids beg for us to move into the Eichler, which is indeed tempting and will likely happen at some point in the future.

But for now, we live in our 1961 half-Jetsons, half-Flintstones custom ranch designed by Sacramento architects Rickey and Brooks. We have been renovating it since 2000 and are making slow but steady progress.



I entered some pictures of areas we have renovated into Rejuvenation's "Make Your Home Your Own" contest Please cast your vote if you like my entry and thanks for stopping by :)

Update: Congrats to Morgan from The Brick House for winning the contest! Morgan is another MCM fan and featured a post about our found slides at the Eichler. Always nice to see fellow MCM fans!
