Design lesson from Earl Young’s Mushroom Houses:

When something speaks to you, don’t let it get away.

Earl Young was famous for finding stones and boulders he loved, then saving them until the right home, wall, fireplace, or doorway came along.

And that idea applies to our homes, too.

Sometimes you find a piece that just grabs you. A painting. A rug. A piece of furniture. Something old, strange, beautiful, or completely unexpected.

You may not know where it goes yet. But if it really feels like you, there’s a good chance you’ll find the place for it.

And sometimes, that one piece becomes the thing the whole room is built around.

Art Deco wasn’t just a design style. It was a way of looking at the world.

Instead of treating modern life as something ugly to escape, Art Deco looked at steel, glass, chrome, concrete, electricity, speed, and change and said: there’s beauty here too.
And honestly, that’s a pretty great reminder for all of us.

We don’t live in the past. We don’t live in some perfect future version of our homes, our budgets, or our lives. We live right here, right now.

And there’s beauty to be found here if we’re willing to look for it.

In this episode of Home in Progress, we’re talking about Art Deco, its bold design
language, and the surprisingly hopeful philosophy behind it.
