Reflecting on recent retro style
Well, it’s been a minute!
This year we’re keeping our “Thanksgiving table” simple with a fall picnic and fresh food.
A post on learning to run the race, even if you’re still figuring it all out…
Today’s post is about pasta. And unpredictability.
Happy Monday, everyone! We thought we’d start out the week with an ode to ’80s-style wall art. While researching a blog post on wall murals for my Decoist gig, I came across some amazing 1980s-inspired geometric creations. I’ve written several posts on wall decals, but I never imagined there were options out there that channeled my favorite decade. So without further ado, today we spotlight colorful artistic finds that celebrate ’80s geometry…
This past weekend, I came across an article on ’80s design from none other than Apartment Therapy. The piece covered an assortment of items that were sold via modern auction house Wright. For sale: individual commissioned furnishings from the 1980s! Originally showcased in a 1983 Chicago dwelling called the Painted Apartment, these designer finds are a window into the exciting world of innovative yet restrained ’80s design. Completely cutting edge, yet somehow timeless. We think you’ll agree…
When I first launched Mirror80, I would tell people I was covering 1980s design, and there would inevitably be a joke about teal and mauve color schemes. Of course, that didn’t stop me from using both colors in my logo! But over time, these notorious shades are starting to lose their stigma. Especially teal. Today we show you how this color is making a powerful comeback. For real!
