Mod Fireplaces in Good Decorating and Home Improvement Encyclopedia. Status: Warm Pics for Cold Days.

Brrrr...we here in the St. Louis area are scheduled to receive yet ANOTHER winter storm over the next three days. Yep, 3 DAYS! Up to another foot of the fluffy stuff.

The Rest of the Booty From Yesterday's Estate Sale. It Looks Like a Pearsall Chair, But I'm Not Convinced. Status: Avaiable.

With the help of Illuminate I was able to snatch up this chair at the Midas Touch estate sale yesterday.

Let It Never Be Said That Mr. Modtomic is an Ungenerous Man. Status: Finally Thoroughly Thawed.

The evening went pretty much as planned. Arrived early enough to be there before any sane individual. Sat in the car until bored. Jumped out and pissed off the second person to arrive. Froze until morning.

If You're Reading This, Mr. Modtomic is Maybe a Little Crazy. Status: Cold & Bored.

If this posts, then I didn't come home and I'm waiting outside an estate sale starting at 10am Friday morning. What would make Mr. Modtomic sit outside in the dark all night?

New Vintage Stereo by Miida. 8 Track Listenin' Heaven! Status: Taking It's Rightful Place In The Lounge

Not only does this sound really great, it's just Oh So Mod!

Ah Ha...Another Mystery Box. Again, It's Been Out In the Garage Since We Moved In! Status: Really??? Another???

Yep, I keep finding stuff I done forgot I had. ::shakes head::

Drag Out The Vinyl. Dig Up Your 45s. Everybody Knows That LPs Sound The Best, Right? Status: My Bad, It Needs A Needle...But It's Available!

Sorry for the tease. I don't have a needle so we can't have a record playin' party. Unless of course you don't mind playing 'em on my modern Numark DJ turntable!

Time to Start Thinking About Estate Sales Again! Status: Urged Forth by RetroRenovation.com

I was poking around RetroRenovation.com today and was inspired by Pam's posting about a light fixture she spotted at an Estate Sale. I decided to drag out some pics from some of the estate sales that I've been to in the past.

Don't We All Collect Vintage Decor "How To" Books? Status: Filling The Shelves.

It's like a "Wish Book" for all the things I love! ::sigh:: If only it Was a catalog...

That's Right...Another Side Table. What? I Got Lots of Tables! Status: Needing Some Love.

A. It was super cheap. B. I couldn't resist that great drawer pull!

Nothin' New to Look at Today...Just a BUNCH of Snow! Status: Winter Wonderland.

It snowed like crazy the last night and the front yard was invaded by Flamigosauruses!

Soooo....Tired of Tables Yet? How 'Bout a Cool Black Vinyl Lounge Chair? Status: Hmmm....Available, I guess.

Well this cleaned up nice. I got this over the weekend from a C-list ad.

Wormley? Nelson? McCobb? Baughman? Aarrgghh!!! Status: Driving Me Nuts.

Seems like I've seen a bazillion of tables like these in the past and I never paid much attention to the attribution...and of course now I can't find a comparable to save my life.  Ain't that just the way it goes?

A Few Weeks Ago a Tornado Ripped Through South St. Louis County, Saturday a Cyclone Made It's Way to North St. Louis County! Status: Available.

I briefly considered adding some food to this vignette, then I was like: yeah right...on my Starburst? Not.

Googie Biomorphic Goodness! What a Great Step Coffee Table. Status: Also Available.

Wow, the cool stuff that ends up on C-list! And really, Thank God (or whatever) for C-list! I can barely remember a world without it.

Not For the Arachnophobic! Classic "Spider Leg" Mid Century Modern Side Table. Status: Available.

The great thing about these tables: they not only look great but they can be easily stored in a closet! Pull it out and "bam" instant table!

Dreaming of Spring. How Many More Days??? Status: Always in Full Bloom.

I've always wondered who Suma was. I'm just glad I found some of their art at the thrift store. I almost sold this once. The Girlfriend put the Kibosh on that!

Just For Fun...Fake Polaroids! A "Do It Yourself". Status: Accept The Challenge!

I was wasting a little time the other day over at the Lotta Living site and noticed a "challenge" of sorts on the message board.

Apparently I Gots a Thing For Clocks! Here Are a Few Of My Analog Beauties. Status: Tick Tick Tick Tick...

Maybe it's because I have a very "live for now" attitude (which gets me into lots of problems BTW) but I do seem to have some weird thing for clocks.

From "Deep In The Heart Of Texas"! Texasware! Pretty as a Spring Morning. Status: It Is (of course) The Girlfriend's.

Check out those colors. Aren't they just amazing? And the Texasware has a light "confetti-ness" to it.

Remain Calm and Try Not To "Pan"ic...There's More Vintage Kitchenware. Status: Clean Lines and Super Stylish.

That's right, look close and you'll see a $10 price tag on the big skillet. Estate sale snag. The smaller one came from a thrift store.

Yesterday Was A Heartbreaking Day At The Modtomic Ranch. Status: Sad.

Sorry for the downer post. We had to put our little bundle of love down yesterday. I've put together a little "tribute" video of some cute pics I had of him.

Introducing: The Crazy Pan! What Can't It Do? Status: It's A Keeper Folks...Sorry.

Got it at the Goodwill quite a while back. Just another pan set to ad to my vintage kitchenware collection. It was covered in dried Bar-B-Que Sauce. At least I think it was Bar-B-Que sauce! I hope it was.

More Mod. A Great Place To Master Your Mixology. Status: Soon To Be Available.

It's just waiting for me to give it a little TLC. It needs the base / foot painted and a top that goes under the glass. Easy as pie!

Isn't This Sew Great? Get It? "Sew" Great?! Status: Not Quitin' My Day Job.

Picked up this amazing vintage modern sewing machine a few years ago. It was lookin' all sad and lonely at the Goodwill down the street just beggin' to be taken home.

Uhg...Chores...If Ya Gotta Do 'Em (And Yes...We All Gotta Do 'Em) Let's Do Them With Style! Status: A Propper Display For The Vintage Iron Collection?

It's not quite Having To Drive To Work In LA Rush Hour Traffic...But Doing It In A Bentley, but it's better than nothin'!

Ya Gotta See, Right? Might Wanna See In Style! Light That Kitchen Or Dining Room Up! Status Update: Gone.

Ain't this fixture a beaut'? Found her at the Habitat For Humanity ReStore a few years ago.

Another Antique Mall Tour. Big Bend Antique Gallery. Status: Stones Throw From Treasure Aisle!

 Update! 01/07/11 High Resolution Video replaced Lo Res Video!  Check it out!

Another diamond in the rough! This is pretty typical of the Antique Malls here in the "fly over's". Unlike BAM in Chicago, you gotta dig a little to find those gems.

It IS Round! Columbus Was Right, I Got Proof! Status: Standing Tall (Look Inside, It'll Make Sense)

Ah, my first Non-Lighted globe. You can say to your grandchildren, "I was there when he bought the first one, kids".

Mosaic Magnificence Made Many Moons Ago. Status: Available!

Alliteration aside, this table got donated to the Goodwill down the street, followed me home and needs a new home.

Everybody Else Is Doin' It, I Might As Well Too. My "Best Of" List. Status: Great Big Ol' Copycat.

Yessirie! My honest to goodness FIRST "Best Of"! But this ain't no re-hash of a bunch of my old posts cuz' I don't wanna post somethin' new. Nope.
