Indoor/Outdoor Furniture, Lighting & Accessories by Blue Nature

To me, there's nothing better than mixing modern design with natural elements. It's like getting the best of both worlds, and I love to see companies that specialize in that sort of thing. I stumbled upon Blue Nature, and I'm lovin the natural elements they use to create their furniture and accessories. In particular, the candle holders, frames made of wood and stone, the forest like partition, and pretty much their whole line of lighting. See more at Blue Nature, it's not one to miss.

Etsy Finds: Retro & Mid Centruy Upholstered Chairs

The fabric on this chair from Hazel & Hunter really caught my eye. I'm loving the retro pattern. If anyone knows where the fabric is from I'd love to know.

I thought this coordinating patio chair and bench from Spruce Home was really nifty..

..which, might I add, go very well with the coasters from my previous postAnd, to continue with the spring green theme I've got going here, some more great upholstered chairs from Spruce Home.

Mid Century Modern Furnishings: It's All About the Chair

Take a look at what a big impact a good chair can make. Photos via Flickr:

I know this person only by the name of Fifilynn, but goodness, she has some great style! Check out the bubblechairs mounted to the ceiling. The flooring is pebble, the green, blue and orange color scheme is great, and I think that's a Jonathan Adler boob vase on the kitchen counter :O But I could be wrong.

Tulip Chairs & Tables: Mixing Modern and Traditional

Some good examples of how to successfully mix modern elements in with a shabby chic, victorian or traditional style interior.

To get this look, try using rustic furnishings, a blue, green and pastel color pallete, ornate chandeliers, sheer drapery, pretty florals and vintage wallpaper.

Keep it clean, simple and pretty with contrasting wood furnishings and a neutral color pallette.

Or add in pops of color like red and blue.
