I am a big fan of mid-century modern and this Paul McCobb serving cart is an excellent example of why these pieces are so collected today. The serving cart is from the Irwin Collection and features a travertine top which I love since it protects the wood from heat or liquids. There are also two small drawers which come in handy as well as three levels upon which to store items. The serving cart is on wheels to provide mobility. Now, this piece is a bit weathered, but there is no reason it could not be cleaned up with some refinishing and touching up.
Modern wall panels are a great decorative touch when creating your favorite living room or home theater room. More often today we see built-ins being created in houses. The concept with wall panels is the same that you build a decorative wall that meets your living needs. Free standing entertainment units are becoming obsolete due to the large size of televisions and the fact that they are so thin they can be easily mounted onto a wall. Sistema is a system that you can design with a series of wall panels, uprights, and shelves. These pictures highlight its use in modern home decorating. More information: here.

I have not been real sure how to put them into an article until today.

Up and coming designer Wayne Maxwell of the UK offers us two distinctly different sideboard options for the modern dining or living room setting. Made from solid Oak, Maxwell's low and tall "Nudo" sideboards have a rather retro appeal that will tastefully add storage to various areas of your living environment. The Nudo low modern sideboard will work well as a flat panel TV stand with its wide expansive top and three deep storage drawers, while the taller version offers the right amount of storage for your dining room. I really like the louver style doors that are much more creative than typical flat panels we often see. See all of the Wayne Maxwell furniture designs here.
