New Vintage Finds! Space Age, Industrial, Mod.

I've been pickin'!  Here are some of my recent finds:

Clip on yellow lamp. Love these!  They're so versatile: office, loft, reading nook, bedroom...

Industrial, minimalist "bullet" gooseneck lamp. 

Here fishy, fishy, fishy!  Ash trays?  Not sure. Mid century coolness?  Yes.

Tulip base General Electric table top clock. I can't resist a tulip base so I'm keeping this one!  

Space age-y mod Hallmark Ricoh "flip" clock. Made in Japan. 

Mod round mirrors in green.  Fun for any room in your home.

70's style mod mirror. Not my thing but I know someone wants this in their grooovy pad.

Fabulous ball lamp on bright yellow base.  This one is staying with me, for now anyway.

Atomic tripop plant stand or ashtray.  I have one I use as a planter and I'm debating if it needs a friend...?

Whenever I see mid century electrical plates I snatch them up.  These beauties would look perfect in a Regency setting.

Mid century mod door knobs.  Make one door very happy!

Mid century Rya-esque red rug.  Great color palette.  Puuuuurty, huh? ;)

Plastic fish paper plate holders. Get your retro BBQ on.

Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend friends!

The Mid Century Dining Chair

Though I love all things mid century and Danish I have a serious love affair with dining chairs.   Yes, my husband should worry.  If I could date a Danish dining chair, I would.

In one year I have switched out my dining chairs 3 times and finally settled on my set of 4 tripods.  I suppose I'd give up my tripods for a set of Niels Moller teak dining chairs if they crossed my path.

Here is one of my 4 tripods: 

Style attributed to Hans Olsen for Frem Rojle though mine are not marked so I don't know where they came from.  

What sparked this post?  Well I'll tell you!  I dropped in to one of my favorite Salvation Army stores this afternoon. On my way out I spotted a bin that had just been rolled out from the back.   "Self, I smell new inventory and I think I see a pointed leg sticking out"......could it be, could it be?   Yes!  A beautiful set of 6 Danish dining chairs.  What a find.

Due to our current torrential down pour I can't bring them in to photograph but that's on my list for tomorrow.  In the meantime, enjoy this eye candy.  Here are some of my favorites from Niels Moller and other greats...

Danish Luv

I'm in love, in love with my new Danish Tripod chairs.

On a recent Las Vegas get away I happened across....okay, I didn't happen across anything....I searched Craiglist ahead of time and set some appointments!

It's true, I simply cannot go anywhere without searching for vintage / mid century things. I could be on a remote island and would be "sure there was some incredible piece waiting to be found". Ugh, it's a sickness. But I like the result.

Check out my new teak mid century danish tripod chairs. They need new upholstery but are already in use in my dining space.

And the fabulous tripod set with nesting chairs designed by Hans Olsen for Frem Rojle.

Circa 1962.

Another Treasury!

Yay - another Etsy Treasury feature today! This one is orange themed and oh so pretty!

Thanks to AddieDesigns for including my mid century tripod lamp!

New Vintage in My Shop!

I loaded some new things into my shop today. There are some weird, unique and cute things in this group....check out the vintage brass gorilla bookends and the kitschy basset hound planter...and the huge wooden clothesline clip! Fun stuff!

One of my recent favorite finds - the orange space age mid century tripod lamp. I also found a white beehive tripod lamp - and I'm keeping it!
