Mid Century Furniture Design

photo from the web


Mid-Century modern is an architectural, interior, product and graphic design that generally describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture, and urban development from roughly 1933 to 1965. The term, employed as a style descriptor as early as the mid-1950s, was reaffirmed in 1983 by Cara Greenberg in the title of her book, Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s (Random House), celebrating the style which is now recognized by scholars and museums worldwide as a significant design movement.  Defind by Wikipedia


For those who love the modern look in home furnishings, finding a mid-century piece is a woo hoo moment! And finding one at a great price, well, that’s priceless.

Hodge Podge has many dealers who specialize in Mid-Century Modern, and the pieces fly out as quickly as they hit the floor! Check with us often to see the latest pieces to come in.

Mid-Century Modern at the shop!






Online shopping at Etsy shows many Mid-Century pieces in their natural state and painted for fun! Dealer is the daughter of shop owner. Fantastic display of Mid-Century pieces.

Jayce Delker's Love Of Vintage Radios


Meet Jayce Delker, a teen who has a love for vintage radios.

Jayce collects 1920s, through early 1960s, tube and transistor radios. He restores them and makes them work like new. Jayce has about 60 or 70 radios in his collection. The oldest is a 1927 Atwater-Kent model 44 made in Philadelphia. Visit Jayce's booth at Hodge Podge where he sells refurbished and working antique radios.  Jayce also works at Hodge Podge a few hours a week. If you catch him there, you will delight in his stories about his old radios. Visit Jayce's website and view many of his favorite radios. Watch video clips explaining many of the features of each on his YouTube site Jayce's Vintage Radios.




The vintage radio above is a 1957 Grundig 3028 tube radio, made in West Germany and fully restored by Jayce. It was featured on the American Pickers on History's Facebook  page last March.

Currently Jayce is working on his boy scout eagle project. It is going to be an antique radio display at the Monroe Art Guild. The display cabinet will have a jukebox feature with a computer that has music, radio shows, and historic broadcasts from each decade that is being displayed. ('20s, '30s, '40s, '50s.) The display will be in June at 205 South Broad Street, Monroe, Ga. 30655. Contact Monroe Art Guild for exact date and time.

Elvis Has Left The Building

Elvis wold have loved this sofa with its amazing art deco lines. Surrounded by a fine collection of brightly colored paintings, it is a great spot to sit and visit when you come to Hodge Podge. Our ice water jug by the front door is always full and a great thirst quencher on hot days! The sofa and art work are in the walkway between the shop and our new expansion. Come and sit a spell!







Emily and Sandra looking for the perfect Eclair! I don't think there is a funnier painting around. This one fills most of the wall and is directly across from our Elvis couch. Full of fun graffiti, you will talk about it for days to come.
