Vintage Television Turned into Cat Bed

Moderncat reader Melissa identified an old 1950s-60s Tv literally on the curb in her neighborhood and decided to get creative! She gutted the thing, cleaned it up, and turned it into a fashionable cat bed! This kitty hideaway is completed with mod wallpaper and it even has modern day art on the wall. Melissa added a faux flokati rug inside and a battery operated LED light strip at the top so the Tv “turns on”. Gordon (on best) and Frog (inside) each really like the groovy new hangout!

Vintage Hip

French designer Alexandre Lafourcade has offered this residence in the village of Menerbes, Provence, a cheerfully retro modern day look while retaining its original period details. Really like how relaxed and liveable this space is.

Vintage Colour

I'm loving Sylvie Rochon's cheerful Montreal apartment, furnished with excellent vintage finds — specifically mid century modern pieces (anything Sylvie has a true eye for, as the owner of Spoutnik, a vintage furnishings shop there). With its crisp white background and great use of colour accessories, her space has a fresh and contemporary feel — it all feels very modern, even when you know nearly every little thing in it is vintage. Beautiful.
