    DS#2 picked up some chairs last night from this house. The owner insisted on giving him a tour, then taking his photo with DS#2's phone.

    I thought others might get a kick like I did from this picture.

    OMG what a cool looking place! Can you say you forgot something there and need to go back? Maybe get a tour?

    For those of you who love mid century modern homes, there's a very cool house in Westport Ct that recently sold and is going to be torn down and replaced by some monstronsity. They had an estate sale. Sorry if this has been posted already. It's such a cool house, along the water. What a shame.

    I just watched the entire video, with every room it was wild! Speechless! That house is intense. Some of it reminds me of 70's, some of Memphis style. I wonder when they did all the decor? Can't believe they are scraping the house.

    It must have been a fantastic estate sale. Wish I could have gone to it.

    And it is horrible to know it's being demolished.

    THe thing your son is sitting on is what I saw in old MCM decorator books in the 90s and kind of wanted. Wanting said books made my mother look at me funny. I have a bad hunch that the design smokes like the proverbial chimney, but they look so cool. It's a crying shame about the Mid-mod mansion. Land in the Westport area is likely so expensive that somone decided it was worth their money to tear down a great old house to build "what our architect designed for us" gray ugliness.

    I guess the house he went to is just the house and original built ins that are MCM. The owner has filled it with expensive furniture of a type that I abhor. Big puffy leather couches and chairs and glass and brass tables.

    What a crime !!! People have no taste anymore . I love that round fireplace but I bet if i lived with it I might get over it pretty quick. Its funky but is probably right in the middle of the room.

    In the design books they showed "Dad" grilling steaks over a wood fire in that thing. I bet that was only in the design books, because if you did it once you knew better than to do it twice.
