Recent Finds. Yep, I'm Still Pickin' with Baby in a Sling!

I've been dreadfully absent from my blog lately.  But, with good reason.  Turns out, working a day job, running a side vintage business, keeping my house up and raising my 4.5 month old son is A LOT.   Silly me, thought I could still do it all like before baby!  Yeah, right.

With that said, I'm still managing, it just takes a little longer to get things done..

Check out some of my new finds:

Mid Century bookcase with optional plexiglass doors. I like it without. Check out those gold banded pencil legs!  

1950's armless lounge chair.  This is a metal frame with a simulated wood texture.  So cool and minimal huh? 

Shamrock Neatway brand plastic arm chairs.  So cute!

Awesome Danish Modern teak bar table with pop up extension.  This was used on the set of the CBS show Swingtown.  Too bad I don't have space in my house to keep this beauty. I've never seen anything like it. 

Mid Century Italian men's valet chair.  The woven rope seat pops up and there is a rubber bar to place your shoe on to polish or tie a lace. Cool! 

Beautiful 1950's vinyl upholstered arm chair. This is the original cherry blossom upholstery and its in amazing condition.  How precious is this? 

The coolest retro mod yarn art I've seen.  I bought this from my picker friend Darren.  I'd love to keep this for my future little girl's room but I need to stop hoarding. 

Art Deco Mystery Clock by Haddon.  It works perfectly and lights up.  

Keep checking out my blog. I promise to write more often! 

Craigslist Love.

It's been a long time since I have posted my Craigslist Love(s).  I spent some time this morning browsing Craigslist here (Los Angeles) and sipping my coffee....while baby slept. Ahhhh, some alone time. ;D

Here's what I found....

70's Club Chair with Chevron Upholstery $180

Not exactly my style but this could look incredibly cool in the right space. And don't you just love that chevron?!

Rare Plycraft Chair (Project) $175

Drool.  Wouldn't you love to bring this baby back to life? I am in love with this chair.  

Project chair: It needs new upholstery. 

Mid Century Hutch/Desk $400

Love this.  Everything about it.... love love love.  How cool is the little glass encased top shelf?

Paul McCobb Lounge Chair $350

I'm a sucker for Paul McCobb so naturally I like this chair.  How can you beat that beautiful minimalism and clean lines?  

Wegner Style Compass Chair $200

Nice lines. Gorgeous wood grain.  What else can I say?

1970's Arc Lamp $300

I've never been a huge fan of arc lamps, but this one has such a cool mod, space-age design I would splurge on it. 

American of Martinsville Nightstands (restored) $500 

Love the design on these nightstands.  I've personally always preferred to refinish mid century pieces back to their original state but I have to say I'm being swayed by some of the painted pieces I've seen lately.  

John Keal Wedge Side Table $200

I love the built in magazine rack on the side. 

Broyhill Brasilia Room Divider China Cabinet $900

Serious drool. If you've been following my blog you know I have a love affair with Brasilia design.  This would be the ultimate score for my home, though not for $900, sigh.
