I Am Having an Online Affair with #Joybird Mid-Century Modern Custom Furniture

Don't judge me. I have a thing for retro. Always have.

Vanilla Cokes and poodle skirts when I was a teen? Check.

Herman Miller couch with built-in end tables and blue and green fabric kinda like this as my post-divorce gift to myself when I was 22? Check.

Part of why I had to go to Johnson Space Center in Houston recently is because the whole space thing was such a big part of the 60s.
