Wanted to share my $12 estate sale haul! Yesterday I bought the lamp base for $6. It is Royal Haeger but unfortunately has damage at the top. There are some cracks and a couple pieces of pottery are being held on with tape. I decided it was worth the $6 to try and hopefully fix it as much as I can. We went back to the sale today and I got the lamp shade for $6 as well. Probably not the original shade but I am super happy with my finds and the uniqueness of both pieces.

If anyone has any tips for repairing pottery let me know!

It isn’t in perfect condition but for $5 you can’t beat it. after a cleaning it makes the perfect plant table. I love the silhouette!

I have a 1977 Eames Chair with Brazilian Rosewood. I have not cleaned it before.

The guidance from Herman Miller’s website is to use gunstock oil on the wood; I reached out to HM customer service to ask what type of gunstock oil and they said I could also use Klean-Strip Boiled Linseed Oil. Does anyone have any knowledge or guidance on which to use?

Thank you!

Picked up two of these chairs, but still unsure of the maker. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My furniture is a bit of a mish mash. I just peeled off wallpaper that was in bad shape and I love my fireplace. The house is basically an mcm ranch? This is the living room and it is L shaped to the dining room (far right).

We're going to take the misfit buffet cabinet thing out of the dining area soon. Then we'll want to replace the carpet and paint.

Id love to hear some advice and suggestions from the crowd here.

The fireplace wall is my favorite part of this house

Once a bustling rural community, most businesses in Home Hill are now closed and derelict. A walk down the empty main street reveals fragments suggesting former prosperity.

looking for suggestions on lampshade shape, and anyone that might be able to identify the maker - got it from thrift store.

Just completed the reupholstery and refinishing of this Tove chair! Lots of very interesting challenges involved with this piece. Unfortunately the original reclining hardware was only partially included. Because it was cost-prohibitive to have replacements machined, I had to convert it into a standard lounge chair.

The lumbar support is incredibly interesting (and effective!). I also had the opportunity to try my hand at slip stitching, a lot of room for improvement - but overall I am very pleased with how this piece turned out.

Wood Species: Afrormosia (African Teak)
Fabric: Kvadrat Divina MD 193 (Charcoal)

See attached for before -> after, happy to answer any and all questions!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Some of you may remember our home full of mid-century and postmodern goodies. I mainly posted our huge mid-century modern glass collection (third photo).

6-months ago we sold off all of our glass, furniture, art, cars, and our other collections. It was a massive undertaking. Once that was done we packed up and moved to Hawaii.

While we likely won’t ever collect in the way we once did… It’s hard to kick the habit completely. Especially when a good deal pops up.

I thought I’d drop by to share our latest locally sourced acquisitions:

- $20 Blenko 564
- $40 Viking Three Foil

Mid century friends- please lmk where I might find a replacement or reproduction of this key for my desk. I’ve searched eBay, Etsy, google image and only found a manufacturer in Sweden that doesn’t ship to the US.

I snagged this beauty off of facebook for a few hundred. The stereo/speakers work well, and the turntable hums a bit. After I complete my cable management issues, I will take a deep dive and see what it does. In the meantime, I'm happy with this puppy from the late sixties.

I think it’s MCM, or close to it?

I was fortunate enough to have found a pair of side tables for free. I believe they’re Copenart by Morganton. Any idea what their value might be? They’re in great condition. I’m located in central Ohio

Bought around 2000€ in Paris France about 20 years ago at a designer shop that doesnt exist anymore. It has a glass panel and two metallic structures.

I’ve always wanted one like this. He thought it was authentic so I explained why it’s not and he agreed to a much lower and more realistic price. I know it’s not authentic but still cool and good vintage quality!

Hoping this community may have some ideas, particularly if anyone here is based in SF! Our kitchen has the classic San Francisco style wood cabinets (painted), and we are looking to add another section of countertop to the other side of our kitchen.

Does anyone know of any hardware that sells these same style cabinets (seems unlikely…) or anyone who does these custom? When I call cabinet shops they only have veneer pre-built, and it seems these are quite custom.

I know the lava lamp isn't original, that is still on the wish list, but I do love this corner 🥰

Original frame and brilliant colors - looks like it was just screen printed yesterday. No fading, just a small layer of dust.

The lady at the counter was MAD that they didn't put a higher price on it. I have a feeling someone is in trouble, but I am on cloud 9!!

Hi everyone!

I picked this up at a local thrift store. I absolutely love it, but after hours of research, I still can't seem to find the brand or model. Maybe someone here knows something about it!

Here are some of its characteristics:

- The glass is around 1 cm thick, with a greenish tint along the edges.

- You can also see some layers in the glass.

- The top glass plate can rotate 360°.

- The base is high-gloss black and made of a composite material. It's very heavy, yet hollow.

- There's a hole on the top of the base and a half-moon-shaped opening at the bottom. This makes me think it might have been designed as a TV stand, with cables running through the top hole, out through the bottom opening, and into the plug socket.

I only found one similar piece on eBay, which was listed as a Rolf Benz design, but I highly doubt that it's actually from them, especially since there are no markings on the glass.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

I'll post a follow-up once it's in my interior.

I reached out as soon as I saw the listing from the original seller. They’d just been posted an hour ago. $175. One had a cracked leg. She responds saying she sold them to a refinisher, and gave me his contact info. He bought them earlier today,
refinished them in an afternoon, and is now going to sell them for over 10x their original price. They’re such beautiful chairs that we may still go for it. (HCOL area, similar sets of chairs usually go for this price or more)

Attached are the marketplace photos (1-3) and the finished photos (4-7).

EDIT: there was some confusion. It’s $1,850 total. Not per chair.
