My Very Own Brasilia

It's a wonderful day for Rhan Vintage.  After coveting and dreaming of my very own piece of Broyhill's Brasilia line for many, many years, I'll get my own tomorrow.

I'll be traveling more than 3 hours one way to pick up a triple dresser, mirror and matching night stands. They are coming to me a mess, from the second owner.  The night stands have been painted black, 2 drawers of the dresser have been painted black and all of the pieces will need sanding to remove years of scratches and water stains.  That's okay though, I don't mind the work.  I'll post before and after pics!  

In the meantime, here are some Brasilia pieces to admire.  And check out my former post on Brasilia furniture here.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Brasilia Headboard and Lamps

If you are a Brasilia fanatic like me, or if you simply love the mid century design, you must check out the blog Mr. Modtomic. His finds at local flea markets, shops, Craigslist, etc. will make any MCM lover drool and wish they could be his shopping partner in crime.

Ok, first...he has the most amazing Brasilia headboard I have ever seen! I can only hope to find a headboard for my own bed (the search has been long and tedious) that is even a fraction as fabulous as this one. I mean, look at those lines!

Now on to the lamps...if you are over the shock of the headboard yet. The LAMPS: If you look at them too long your eyes will burn; yes, like the sun. They are that incredible. If you're a Brasilia lover than you get what I'm saying.

To me, I'm looking at art when I see the Brasilia lines. I've said it time and time again, they just don't make them like this anymore. The design is striking yet simple and so pleasing to the eye in an overt yet simultaneously subconscious way. Strange I know, but that's how I feel. I will forever love and covet the Brasilia design.

So, it's confirmed; the mid west is a gold-mine for mid century finds. I'm a mid west girl by birth, born in Kansas City Missouri, and I'm feeling a deep desire to get a one-way ticket to St. Louis or KC, rent a truck and scour the land for mid century modern, then drive....yes drive back to Los Angeles, California with my truck load!
