10 Mid-Century Modern Etsy Finds That Will Transform Your Home

If you've been visiting a while you already know I'm a big fan of mid-century modern architecture and decor. 

So I decided to go though all my Etsy favorites and pick the best mid-century modern finds (in my opinion, of course). Some of them are actual vintage/restored pieces, while others are made by independent designers and artists that create pieces inspired by the timeless style of the 1950s and 60s—combining clean lines, warm woods, playful colors, and functional design.
