Mod Sonoma

Thanks for all the new "likes" on facebook.

I wanted to share with you the new inventory that is currently available for Mod Sonoma at the Antiques Society in Sebastopol. These photos were taken this afternoon so most of the items in these should still be available. If anyone wants something held, please let me know.


These shelves feature my Porsgrund dish set from Norway, Heath Ceramics, Cathrineholm Enamel ware, Vintage Betty Crocker Cookbooks, Mod dishes and decor.


I've really enjoyed setting up the space. This table in fact seems to attract many other dealers when I'm working in my space. We somehow tend to sit down and discuss our favorite passion: Antiques and Collectibles. The dinnerware on the table is Franciscan Starburst. The center glass pieces are iittala in the Flora Pattern.


This photo features part of my globe collection, Pyrex dishes, Curtis Jere pieces and lots of Mod glasses & mugs.


These chairs and table were actually mine but our new property doesn't have a covered patio so they now are the centerpiece of my Mod Sonoma space.

I love to group certain things together and consider this my Industrial section. I just added a Martz Lamp by Marshall Studios that is fabulous. It's on the top left of the photo.


What I've tried to create in my space is a respect and adoration for Mid Centurey Modern Design as well as gently bringing in a splash of Mod colors and wares of the 1970's. It's been an absolutely pleasure to create this space. In a strange way, I feel at home there when I add items for display.

If you have any questions about something pictured here please contact me at mod at selena cate dot com or contact me here.

Love that space. It looks gorgeous. And shouldn't it feel like home, since you've lived with most of the stuff around you while storing it prior to getting it in this great space? ;-)

[Faith]

How much are the cathrineholm bowls?!

[Lynn]

Your space looks really inviting. I love the tall wooden bookcases you are using for the dishes - it doesn't detract from what you have on display and echoes the color of some of the other wooden things you have in your "room" Wonderful job!

[Leah]

Your space is lovely, Selena. Wishing you much success!

[sarah]

I love it! I wish we lived closer so I could come shop! Best of luck!

[Heather]

It looks great - you have a lot of stuff without it looking cluttered or crazy! I think it looks amazing!

A marvelous array of items! Enough to spark curiosity, yet not so jammed and crowded that the eye/mind is overwhelmed. Color and rhythm that is inviting intriguing. Love the table as a gathering spot. Job well done! Congrats.

The "section" idea is perfect & I also spotted some of your felted art, too! Great placement of them, too! I'm excited to see it in person during my next visit North! Here's to much abundance coming to you!

[Monica]

It looks fantastic! I want to live there! :)

[Mad Maine Vintage]

Just stunning! You are my favorite interior designer :-)

Bravo Selena! Fully-stocked and selectively curated. I love the pops of aqua and love the globe collection. Well done - many wishes for success!

What a beautiful booth! I have a question for you. For your items in your booth do you still price them similar to pricing items in ebay?

[Selena Cate]

Thats a great question. For some of my items, I definitely do use eBay as a guide, mostly because a percentage of the items were meant for eBay. Ive tried to mix up my inventory with fabulous Mod inexpensive items such as $5 Japanese mugs and vintage fabric and higher priced designer items like the Porsgrund Pottery. I do realize that my audience is much smaller than eBay because its based on those coming into the shop. At the same time there is no shipping to consider and people buy differently in person vs on-line (typically). Does that make sense?

Yes it does thank you.

[Lynda]

Everything looks amazing! You definitely have a good eye for selecting and displaying your items. The best description is that everything looks "curated" rather than just thrown together. Best wishes for a successful venture.
