This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the New Hampshire home of graphic designer, artist and blogger Jenn Ski. Her amazing home was built in 1952 by Frank Lloyd Wright's student, Alec Majesky. Jenn and her husband are currently in the process of restoring their mid-century dream home and have been documenting their journey on flickr and their blog. Their home features a retro mix of simple design elements, a collection of modern furniture, and colorful mid-century treasures that contribute to the vibrant personality of the space they call home.
Jenn also runs three awesome Etsy shops which are all inspired by the retro design of the 1950s. Check out jennski for graphic prints and art, jennskiVinyl for wall decals and JennSkiVintage for modern vintage treasures.
Visit Jenn's blog, or take the tour of her home on flickr to view more photos of her retro restoration. Check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas that will add a colorful mid-century modern touch to the place you call home.

This decor is sublime in its simplicity - a relief from today's sensory overload. I remember when call waiting meant that if I was on the phone and you called, you'd have to wait and call later. Thus I am drawn to the phone from AquaVelvet's shop (at a retro price too!).

AndersenStudio
I would just like to say that AndersenStudio is authentic mid-century design. Weston and Brenda Andersen were part of the 50's contemporary urban design movement. Weston studied production ceramics under Eva Zeisel, who said, when she learned that he was moving to Maine to start his own production company- "But that is such a difficult thing to do!” True, but Weston and Brenda Andersen wanted to create a hand made object affordable to the middle class. It is the hand made process that gives the Andersen vases, bowls and other functional items their organic appeal- as opposed to the production process of the large dinnerware companies for which Eva designed. The designs created in the fifties have retained their market appeal over the decades and are still being made in the stoneware slip casting process today.
