Mid Century Paintings For Sale In Shop
I went back to the thrift store and those paintings were still there. AND, they were 1/2 off! So, I snagged them and cleaned them up a bit. Now for sale in the shop! Check them out!
I think they would look really cute with the new roadside find chair!
Maybe in a little girl’s mid century room?

Roadside Find
On a quick drive to Peoria yesterday to pick up some new lawn chairs I spotted the oddest, cutest little chair on the side of the road in Kewanee. On my way home it was still there, so I quickly threw it in the back of the truck and sped away!
It’s so ugly right now, but I think there is a lot of cuteness potential under there! That storage could be very useful too! Some scrubbing and some new fabric… maybe even some paint? Mid century lovers should love this one when its finished, so keep your eyes peeled because it will be another shop addition!
Mid Century Bug
I have it- the mid century bug- that is! I am usually into vintage and antique just a bit older than MCM style, but lately I have been crazy for some of the furniture styles. I’d like to think that I am a good enough stylist to incorporate a bit of many styles to make an eclectic, yet cohesive home. A few things that I am loving:
The Marcel Bruer Wassily leather lounge chairs are calling my name!
This Barwa lounger would be so comfy on a patio or in the backyard, even better if it wasn’t purple!
This guy would be perfect painted black and sitting next to my new-old patio set in the backyard. Then I would have a place to lounge in the sun! (I am actually really thinking about this one!)
This is my all time favorite couch. I want one someday so bad I can smell the leather! 😉
I love these Platner style outdoor chairs. Actually, I like anything wire mesh or Bertoia-esque.
An a bit of an older note- I am still on a hurried hunt for a couple of these old style metal lawn chairs. Ebay is a bit too pricey, so if anyone out there knows of any for sale…keep me posted!
Any style, any color, as long as they are similar to eachother, because I am going to paint them red anyway!
Also, do you notice a trend with me and chairs? And currently with me and outdoor furniture? I really need to expand what I look at! 😉
Weekly Chair Love
I spotted this weeks chair love on Flickr. Yellow is not really my color, but I see so much potential in the baby. A nice white vinyl? Or black? This chair could be gorgeous. I love that tufting and the curved back!
“‘Yella’ Chair” By Robem.
Curvy Chair Love
This week my chair love comes from a random internet search. The fun, curvy arms on this baby just jumped out at me. What a beauty. I’d take a couple of these for my dining room.
Hopefully we get some sun tomorrow so I can show you a few pictures of the yard progress!
New Chair Love
This weekend has been busy. I have many things to show you all (and the kitchen counter-tops are being installed as I type!). But, sadly, my camera card is not working today. So, until I figure out what to do with that (hopefully tonight!) I will show you my chair love early, and hope that I can have some exciting weekend finds for you tomorrow!
I saw this photo last week on Apartment Therapy. This chair is in a home layout from this year’s San Francisco Decorator’s Showcase. Sweet, huh!?
What a statment a chair like that would make!
Mini Chair Love
I came across this little lucite chair and table on Ebay (thinking it was life-sized). Did your Barbies have neat furniture like this? I think mine are jealous!
Way cool vintage chair, even in a mini size, but I’d take the life-size set! 🙂
Funky Chair Love
I found this guy on Flickr. Titled, “The Mysterious Vintage Chair,” by fetching. I love the shape and the detached headrest. Wouldn’t this chair be sweet in a bright, funky fabric!?
A Few Items For Sale
Here are a few of our first big items for sale in the new shop. There are a few others in the works that needed face-lifts, but these beauties were great as-is. Let me know if you are interested, although these are awful large to ship. Mid Century lovers should swoon for them!
***SOLD***
The cute little fiberglass chair is a gorgeous robin’s egg blue. It says Krueger Metal Products, Green bay Wisconsin on its tag. The hutch is gorgeous and spacious. It has two shelves behind the glass door, two cupboards below, and three drawers, one of which has dividers. The oval details on the doors are really cool. The tag says Gibson Furniture Co.
Let me know if you are interested! 🙂 And, stay tuned, there should be a MCM coffee table and a funky table and chairs by the end of the week as I get them cleaned up!
Chair Love Sale
This week I thought I would feature a chair that is going in the shop! This robins egg blue shell chair is marked “Krueger Metal Products Green Bay, Wisconsin” on the bottom. Isn’t it just so cute?
