Vintage Swiss Grey Dresser on ATLA!

New Vintage items up on Craigslist L.A.!!!

Here are a few new items up on Craigslist L.A.

First, we have this lovely Swiss Grey Tallboy Dresser.  Made of solid wood with the original brass hardware. 

I love the color of this and I really like the way the old brass looks up against this.  Reminds me of an old piece of military furniture from an officer's quarters.  Solid wood and solid brass hardware.  See the Craigslist ad here for this beautiful dresser.

Next up is a Mid Century Coffee Table made in Sweden.  Very nice teak on this and the turned, solid wood legs are solid (no wobbling here).

Has recently been refurbished and oiled and waxed.  This is a gorgeous, retro piece that will really stand out.  Check the Craigslist for this coffee table here.

And finally, this week, check out this cute, little solid wood table with turned legs and a little drawer.

 
This would be perfect for a side table, night table, occasional table or even a laptop table.  It's the perfect desk height to work on (26") and is very well constructed.  Put some small notepads and pencils in the drawer and you're good to go.  See the ad here.

Email via this blog or via Craigslist to see any of these items.  Have a great weekend!

My First Treasury List on Etsy!

The other night I couldn't sleep, so, I decided to get online and just browse Etsy as a shopper (something I rarely do).  I saw so many beautiful things, I decided to make a Treasury List.  Here it is, inspired by tobacco and literary figures, Tobacco Wrote

Green & Chrome Chairs on Etsy's Front Page!

Just recently found out these made it to Etsy's Front Page!

Suh...weeeet!

Furniture Makeover! From boring, outdated armoire to very hip, modern and oh so tres chic Barmoire!

What is a "Barmoire," you may ask?  It is a fancy name I came up with for an outdated armoire, like so...

...that is repurposed into a new (looking), modern Bar, complete with sliding wine rack drawers, mirrored tile, fancy (and eco-friendly) lights and a wooden glass rack overhead.  As in, like so...

Here's are a few close ups of the components:

the inside

battery operated, eco-friendly L.E.D. lights add nice, soft mood lighting at very little expense to you and the environment

...and the sliding wine rack drawers are a nice place to store your favorite bottles of Chateau Bluh Bluh Bluh, '57 (obviously, I'm very knowledgeable about wine).  

the finished piece complete with glass knobs.

So, before you throw out that hulking or outdated piece of furniture, you might ask yourself, "Hmmm....I wonder if I can use that for something else?"
