"Mid-century" is the trendy name for the decor of the 1960s. You know, the squared off sofas and leather bars.And those adorable silver holiday trees with the fringed branches you keep stored in paper sleeves until next Christmas.
To get a full dose of mid-century style, check out Samantha and Darren's home in the classic TV show Bewitched. We've been watching episodes featuring Sam and Darren and the ever-endearing Endora -- thanks to the magic of Netflix.
The girls were horrified when our beloved Samantha said "Darren is the master of this house." It felt like a terribly sexist remark. Then we realized that Sam was just working her magic of humility and humor.
Everybody knows that Samantha fixes countless messes and can even stop time, if need be. She rescues Darren from his blunders on the job. She takes an orphaned kid to visit Santa. She smooths the feelings of slighted grandparents and even keeps the doddering Aunt Clara from injuring herself and others.
The mid-century magic goes beyond the television for us -- thanks to daughter Mary Katherine's business. She sells reminders of a simpler era at her Green Room in Fondren and her online store. You can visit by clicking here: Queen of the Universe Vintage
