Love the look of mid-century, modern, retro design, but don't feel like dropping two weeks' pay on an Eames chair? Todd Oldham shares his passion for mid-century modern homes with over 72 do-it-yourself projects for anyone who loves crafts and longs to add character to every corner of their home. Each project is charted through step-by-step photos and instructions until the fabulously mod end. Other projects include home-computer facelifts, Xerox wallpaper, aluminum lighting fixtures, and cozy shoe-storage systems. In additional to Todd's projects, the book comes with a tutorial on modern home design in the form of sidebars and short essays throughout--everything from that now-famous Eames chair to the case-study houses of the 1950s.--From publisher description.
