<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 4344797, member: 649"]I, too, don't see MCM. MCM means Mid-Century <i>Modern</i> and was a specific style of design popular during the mid-twentieth century. Do keep in mind that not everything from the mid-twentieth century was of that design. I remember my aunt/uncle's house was full of Danish Modern, while my own childhood home had stuff more like you're presenting. (I also remember a discussion between my parents, in the car on the way home after a visit to my aunt/uncle's house, about how they -my parents- just didn't "get" the Danish Modern fad... I remember my mother using the word <i>bland</i>... My mother tended more toward brutalist home decor.)</p><p>I also think the items you are showing here are later, perhaps 1970s.</p><p>I tend to think of MCM as smooth lines and sleek curves, mostly natural/nature color tones though with some pops of brightness, unfussy though distinctively stylish.
