It's been a long and busy week for me, hence my absent posts. TGIF with a huge exclamation point (!) Can I get an amen?! On the heels of my Brasilia restoration and subsequent posts I decided to comment once more on Broyhill and then put it to rest....for awhile anyway...I'm obsessed, what can I say?
Broyhill's other spectacular and easily identifiable collection from the mid century is the Sculptra line. Unlike Brasilia with it's sweeping curves, Sculptra's focal design is comprised of straight lines in a box formation. I also love this line, but for different reasons. It's very modern, fresh and controlled in it's design. I have yet to come across a piece of Sculptra in all my years of hunting but I believe, like my once unattainable Brasilia, it's out there somewhere. *** UPDATE 1/30 I FOUND a Sculptra Magna dresser for a steal! Now just need to figure out how/when to get it because like the Brasilia set, it's hours away. ***

I love Brasilia but let me tell you, Sculptra pulls at my heart....a lot. Do you have a favorite?

These are all really cool. I have a trunk that I think has cedar on the inside that was my mom's from the early 60's. It's very tacky and needs a sanding and a stain, but I'm beginning to wonder who actually made it. It looks similar to this. Too bad I can't take a picture of it and post it up here.
post it on your site - I'd love to see it!
What the heck... why not?! I'll go take some pic's of it really quick. :)
Ok, I put up a new post with some other pieces I love! Leave me a comment on there! ;)
Sculptra is really cool. I also love Broyhill Saga and am hoping we can pick up one of the dining sets this weekend. If I had a googie house, I'd definitely want some Saga pieces.
Dana, I agree. Saga is really, really cool with the starburst style design and the dining chairs are awesome. Well crap, now I need to post about Saga! Basically I just want everything Broyhill created in the mid century!
I JUST FOUND THE SCULPTRA ROOM DIVIDER! yes all caps, I am that excited.
OMG so jealous!!!!! That's awesome!!
I have the Sculptra bedroom set and would consider selling. Needs a sanding and stain. Located in Long Beach, Ca
