New Inventory Coming Soon!

I've been picking like crazy at estate sales, thrift stores and prop houses.   It's been fun but exhausting, especially because now I bring along my precious Audric who is only 9 weeks old.

Here is a look at some of my haul. I'm also bringing in a Danish modern rope rocking chair and a Eero Saarinen style wood & naugahyde arm chair in the next couple of days.   I'll be adding items to my shop in the next couple of weeks.

Oh yes, the Plycraft chair is staying with me!

Tons of Vintage Smalls

Mid Century Arm Chair

Plycraft Lounge Chair

Broyhill Sculptra China Cabinet 

I want to keep this so badly but there is no space for it....waaaaaah

Mid Century Dresser with Matching Mirror 

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.  

Craigslist Monday. Mid Century Finds.

I love to peruse Craigslist on Monday and "pretend shop". There's always great new pieces to drool over.

Here's another one of those 1950's mod desks I love:

$195 desk & chair

Check out that awesome little aqua chair too. I would LOVE this set in my house.

George Mulhauser for Plycraft. That's one beautiful chair!

Pardon my absence the past week. I was in Vegas visiting my in-laws.  It was a nice break but it's always so great coming home.

One of the first things I had to do upon my return was browse the mid-century Craigslist ads here in Los Angeles. After 4 days I knew there would be hoards of new pieces to drool over. Indeed there was and here is my favorite:

Plycraft Mr. Chair Lounge by George Mulhauser.  

Drooling anyone?  Or is it just me?  It can be yours for $1000 obo.

Plycraft Beam of Sunshine on my Rainy Day

It's a rainy day in Los Angeles. Wish I was sitting in this chair with a nice cup of tea.

I suppose it's good though, after a week-long triple digit heatwave and we need the rain around here. Just a little disappointing to leave the sunshine to go to Seattle for a long weekend, and return to rain. Oh well!

While waiting on the sun to return to my life, this beam of light, aka an original plycraft lounge chair, sent me a much needed jolt! The rain makes you sleepy right?

Check out this motherlode of a set (found on Craigslist Los Angeles): An original leather Plycraft Mr. Chair and ottoman by George Mulhauser (as stated).

It has loving been restored with crisp white leather upholstery. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! And the boomerang coffee table is gorgeous too! What a set!

White would never last around my house though. I lovingly share it with a messy, ehem, not-as-neat-as-I-would-like husband, and 3 cats who enjoy 60's furniture too - yeah, like they have any idea they are sitting on original mid century pieces!

And for a laugh....here's one of my cats, Birdie, fast asleep on a Danish lounge chair.

Minimalist Love....Danish Style

Check out my Etsy Treasury featuring some of my favorite minimal Danish style pieces.

Wish I could buy them all!

I just love how effortlessly beautiful Danish modern and Mid Century design is.

How can something so simple be so stunning, inviting and artistic at the same time?
