Feelin' Pretty Nifty

So, I'm in full-on "Apartment Mode" today. I adore 1950's pastel colors and would love to mix them in with the clean, lines of modern furniture. These days, I spend a fair amount of my time online perusing design websites trying to learn more about modern and mid-century furniture. Unfortunately, I'm too broke to actually buy anything.

Despite that, I find myself imaginary shopping for furniture and random knick knacks that I really want. In honor of my imaginary shopping trips, here are my top 4 picks of the day, all are 1950's replicas. After all, just because I'm broke, doesn't mean you are.
