My partner in all things Modernism, Julie, called me letting me know that I had to get to Cost Plus World Market for a must have holiday decoration.

"Crafted of laser-cut wood, our exclusive light-up mid-century house decoration will be right at home in your Christmas village. With all the clean lines and cool style of classic mid-century modern design, accented with a cherry-red car and lit from within with LED bulbs, this dimensional, retro residence beams with bright architectural charm."

They measure Approx. 10"W x 4.75"D x 5.75"H and are currently 40% off... a steal at $15.

These are the two I purchased (so far). I have them illuminated by my table top Christmas tree which is adorned with my before me family ornaments (very mid-century).

If I can't have a true 1950's home in Palm Springs, I can have a couple of these whimsical decorations... and a dream of someday!
