Iceboxes were large lined, insulated wooden cupboards built to store ice, food, and drinks. The ice would usually be placed on the upper shelf, with the food and drinks below, and the cool air from the melting ice would help to keep everything nice and chilled.

"In many ways they've become part of the visual landscape of the vintage market, particularly online, where speed often replaces connoisseurship," says Rodrigo Fernández, director and cofounder of Diez Company.

The collection spans several categories in the home, featuring smart storage pieces like the electric lime Lacquer Entryway Storage Pillar and a crescent moon-shaped chair and ottoman set.

"It has been estimated that one million five hundred thousand houses each year for a period of 10 years will be needed to relieve the urgent housing problem of this country. The enormity of such a need cannot even be partially satisfied by building techniques as we have known and used them in the past."

E-1027 is one of the most perfect examples of modernist architecture, with its hyper-functional design and nonexistent ornamentation, minimalist yet thoughtful and deeply attuned to its environment.

As much as I loved the new white-on-white aesthetic of our kitchen, I admit that it felt a little plain. That curvy linear mid-century pattern really drives the point home that we love retro design.

First, you probably have to rewire the lamp. Unless the seller already did it for you, it's best to rewire any vintage finds so you know they've been safely updated. The process isn't that hard, but you will need to buy the supplies and spend the time to do it correctly.

We might be exposed to more ads and commercials today than ever before in human history, but the idea of advertising itself is certainly not a new concept. According to Instapage, the first signs of advertisements actually appeared in ancient Egyptian steel carvings from 2000 BC.

These cabinets were a '90s phenomenon to the point that they made it into the kitchens of Full House and Home Improvement - and people (and homebuyers) are loving them again today. Here's why.

My open concept kitchen and family room. I do love the design and am thrilled with all the new appliances, but every time I sit down to watch something, someone will go into the kitchen for a snack. The rattling of bags, running water, and scooping ice echoes through the space and provides a distraction. First world problems, I know.

This design trend involves pops of color such as purples, pinks, teals, yellows - those bright, eye-catching colors thrown all around the dining room, the same way you would see them when you walked into fast food restaurants in the '90s.
