In our modern world, I think we can use a little consumer disobedience—to make sure banks, corporations, and other profiteering interests don’t do the same.

I will find one myself, of course. I’m a modern girl.

Was I aware of what I was doing the next weekend when I checked into two mid-century modern furniture stores in a row?

But could you imagine yourself going “vintage modern” by purchasing second-hand IKEA products?

I was very happy to see Modern Family get such big recognition at the Emmys this year; I haven’t seen too much of the show yet, but what I have seen has certainly impressed me and made me laugh.
