Atomic Age Dresser and Desk Set

Check out this funky and unique set from the 1950's!  I purchased this atomic style dresser and desk set this past Saturday from an estate sale.  It was a fun couple of hours.   The daughter of the woman who had recently moved in to an elderly home was the only person running the sale. She was quite a character and so much fun to meet and talk to.  She had stories about every single item in that home.

The house....well if you've seen the show "Hoarders" that will give you a good idea of what some of the rooms looked like in this home.  Fortunately I'm not afraid to dig and climb and rummage.  I actually kind of like it.  It makes me feel like Mike or Frank from American Pickers.

This awesome set was in one of the bedrooms and under feet of books and miscellaneous and dust, inches of dust.  Still, I saw them and knew I had to have them.  They are in surprisingly good condition after cleaning them up - even the white tops!   Made by Cal-Style Furniture Co. Los Angeles, "Nordia" style.

I thought for a minute about keeping the dresser for a future baby/child's room but then I decided to sell and keep the set together. They belong together and I have no need for the rather large desk.

So here they are - pretty fun huh?  and I just love the orange chair!
