I had to make a little road trip to Springfield to get these but it was worth the drive to pick up a nice looking set of Casala chairs by Alexander Beege.<br />

You might remember, if you are a long time Modtomitrist, <a href="http://mistermodtomic.blogspot.com/2014/04/sigh-in-trying-to-identify-various.html" target="_blank">a post I made way way back in the day about Chromcraft knockoffs of the Casala chair</a>. When I spotted these, and even up until I had them sitting right in front of me, I wasn't even sure whether or not these were the real deal. Soon as I flipped one over though, a pleasant wave of relief washed over ol' Mr. Modtomic! Now all I gots to do is clean 'em up and find some more appropriate cushions...and maybe a new home for them! I already have too much mod patio stuff!

This is really just a short video showing how well Howards Restore-a-finish works on pieces where the finish is questionable but the surfaces are otherwise fine. It's not magic, but it does produce decent enough results!<br />

Yessss! What a great way to start the flea season! Well, technically we have already been to one other flea, the swap meet at Six Flags...but that was so early in the season that I consider it a sorta preseason flea. And we didn't find nearly as good of stuff at Six Flags as we did at Cornbread!<br>

Hey Looky! This is <a href="http://mistermodtomic.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-girlfriend-and-i-picked-up-this.html" target="_blank">the second Jens Risom desk</a> I've come across lately. This one is a little bit bigger than the previous piece. It's more of an executive desk, but it isn't so huge that it becomes ungainly, like the double pedestal executive desk. Not too small, not too big...just about right!<br>

We aren't very good at keeping the house picked up and sometimes we bring things in after a hunting / gathering trip and just drop the bags of goodies on the nearest open flat area. Not very grown up, but at least it provides for a nice surprise later on!<br>

Nice gams, eh? When I found this table my first thought was "Karl Springer" but that turned up nothing with a quick search. Then I remembered Pace! Not a fancy desinger but still a well respected name in the design world.<br>

So, when I picked up the Danish daybed / sofa I featured a couple days ago, the seller asked if I'd be interested in this clock they had on the dining room wall. You Betchya! I can't say no to a beautiful sunburst wall clock.<br>

Right, there was 11 before...but these chairs didn't upholster themselves. I traded Jeff (our awesome upholstery guy) 7 of the chairs for his efforts in sprucing up 4 for me. Everybody Happy!!!<br>

The Shelby Williams "Gazelle" chair is another of those mid century modern classic designs that I didn't even realize was on my "bucket" list until I spotted a cadre of them on craigslist last week.<br>

Super mod, right? I love 'em. If I didn't already have my dream barstools I'd have new cushions made and keep this set. While yes, they are missing the original cushions, I'm pretty proud that they both have all four end caps on the legs.<br>

Funny little story about this little Knoll stool: I spotted it many years ago in New Orleans at another shop at the far west end of Magazine Street. I had hoped at the time that the seller would let it go for cheap since they obviously didn't have a clue of what it was.<br>

Our trip to the Litchfield Pickers Market yielded more than the little stool and phone I featured a couple days ago. This nice size acrylic modernist painting was also sourced on that lovely fall day. The little mod Tensor desk lamp was a thrift find that had been loitering in the back of the car for who knows how long...you know how it is.<br>

Again, we didn't find a whole lot there...but it's such a nice market with all kinds of great stuff including food and entertainment. If you get a chance to go next season I highly recommend doing so.<br>

Somehow Mr. M lucked into a FOUR day weekend. Unfortunately that first day (Friday) was cloudy and cool, but at least I found these fantastic teak Balans chairs, all in great condition. Their very pretty blue upholstery, contrasting against the beautiful teak frames made up for the otherwise dreary day.<br>

Aren't these fantastic! I managed to procure Nine Knoll / Eero Saarinen tilt swivel rolling armchairs a few days ago...and what a crazy chore it was to get them all in the back of Frank. Believe me, it weren't easy!<br>

I see tons of similar brass floor lamps at the thrift stores all the time, but a real Koch and Lowy? Not so much. This one turned up on craigslist and sat there for a few days before even I noticed it. Hard to believe I was the only one to notice it.<br>

Funny story: before making my way downtown to pick up the Ikea set I featured yesterday I stopped by a Friday morning estate sale that happened to have a Pearsall sofa and couple of chairs. I didn't go out early or anything and consequently the set had already sold. I wake up Saturday morning, check craigslist and find This set! What are the chances?<br>

This fine accumulation of Ikea living room furniture has recently made it's way to my booth at The Antique Mall of Creve Coeur. Can you believe I was able to fit all of this into the back of Frank? Of course I didn't go crazy and try to close the hatch...but I might have been able too.<br>
