I’m thrilled for another Thursday Three with friends from Mainly MidMod Furniture & More. Good friends, Becca and Karim, are a couple living in Santa Cruz and started collecting furniture for themselves. They quickly discovered their passion, impeccable taste, and talent for salvaging, restoring, and reselling midcentury modern furniture. Check out three things that are inspiring them these days!
Thanks to Mainly MidMod for stopping by .stART here. today! You’re THE BEST! ;P xoxo

If there’s a way to bottle up the colorful rides and salty air of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, it’s found in local photographer Meg Venter‘s “Summer of ’67.” We love the tones, composition, and vintage vibe of this piece and the rest of her boardwalk-themed collection. We’re leaving Santa Cruz for the Pacific Northwest this month, and Venter’s prints will be coming along to brighten up those rainy days.

North Dakota-based food blogger and photographer Molly Yeh transports us back to the time we spent living in fun and funky Fargo. Yeh grabs your attention with gorgeous, moody photos and keeps you hooked with colorful anecdotes and mouthwatering recipes. (And her cakes couldn’t be any damn cuter.) Plus, her first cookbook, Molly on the Range, comes out this October. We’re preparing for major Midwest nostalgia.
Bend Goods
Everything we love about midcentury modern design comes to life in Bend Goods’ colorful, sculptural wire furniture. We’re particularly obsessed with the Los Angeles company’s bomb drum table (orange is where it’s at) and glorious chairs. Picture yourself lounging on these bad boys in some tropical courtyard — it’s what dreams are made of.

Fifty Shades Of Bend
Dear Internet,
It's time we talked about your color fixation. A quick Pinterest search gone awry will undoubtedly lead you down a labyrinth of magenta front doors, teal painted mason jars, and smaragdine accent walls (yeah, it's a real color, Google it). A chromatic orgy of the architecturally-bound variety, if you will. It would then make sense that some of your favorite digitally savvy brands, would share a similar obsession. Enter minimalist design pioneer, and geometric outdoor furniture enthusiast Bend Goods. Showcasing some of their latest product, Bend has taken over a nondescript house off Highland, and transformed it into a hypnotic color masterpiece. Bend Lab: An Exhibit of Color transcends your average branded experiment. It’s an ode to Bend’s history producing simple, bright, fun, and incomprehensibly captivating furniture and accessories. For anyone championing spaces as blank canvases, or design as art, #BendColorLab might be the answer to your prayers (assuming that you were praying for a house full of minimalist wire trophy-heads). The concept is deceptively simple and unapologetically whimsical. One house, five-ish areas, each one painted some shade of something, decked out in Bend furniture & accessories.
Unusual things you might encounter:
Mounted cub heads in orange and white.
Strangers taking selfies with a teal gazelle hanging over a fire place.
Shiny metallic lawn furniture, eerily reminiscent of Mardi Gras beads.
An all-pink kitchen.
Oddly low-hanging chandeliers.
A white chair with leather accents hanging from a wall.
Garage craft cocktails by Pharmacie.
Pink carpet.
Blue carpet.
An all green bathroom.
Editorial disclaimer: we’re bound to be shamelessly biased in favor of any brand that conceives this.
