I Had Friday Off Work And Took The Opportunity To Check A Half Dozen Or So Thrifts, Coming Home Mostly Empty Handed. Then Saturday I Tried The Estate Sale Scene And Scored A Little, But Sunday Was The REAL Breaking Of The Ice. Status: Available.

It's been ages since the last time I picked up some nice bedroom pieces and even longer since finding any Drexel to offer in either of the booths.  I've been itching to get some dressers and chests in the both and this Drexel Profile chest is perfect since it can be either a chest of drawers OR a dining room bar!

You May Recall The Drexel Projection Dresser I Featured A Few Days Ago...Aaannnnd You May Just Recall The Previous Post I Did On This Drexel Projection Blanket Chest A Few Years Ago, But Since I Was In The Process Of Cleaning Up The Dresser I Thought I'd Give This A Little Love Too. Status: Also Available At CCAM.

While still far from perfect, giving this Drexel blanket chest a nice rub down with Howards certainly did it a lot of good.  There are some imperfections on the left side that nothing short of a full refinish will help with, but it presents well now.  At least a lot better than it did!  And now it is awaiting a new home along with the Drexel dresser in my booth at the Antique Mall of Creve Coeur.

Usually It's The Weekend When All The Good Scores Go Down But Thursday And Friday Were Pretty Darn Great This Week Too. Thursday Provided Mr. M With This Beautiful Drexel Projection Dresser. Status: In The Booth @ Creve Coeur Antique Mall!

What was with the names of all the contemporary furniture lines in the '50s and '60s?  Perception, Perspecta, Planner, Perimeter, Predictor...  Well, this one is Projection by Drexel.  You'd think the marketing geniuses would want their name to Stand Out From as apposed to Being Confused With.

OK, Here We Go! It's Not A GRAND Opening But We're Going To Be Welcoming You To Stop By Tomorrow (Saturday 02 / 02) To Take A Little Look 'Round At Fleur De Lis - Home Source. For Those Of You Who Can't Make It, Here's A Preview. Status: Almost Ready.

I've been busting my hump trying to get things setup and solid at our new shop this last week or so.  I was there cleaning up on some of my wares and delivering more stock last night until 3:30am!  Gotta say, I like that I can do this since I am not a morning person and I've got a day (well, second shift) job. 

Happy New Year. Welcome To 2013! Remember That Drexel Dining Set I Showed Ya A Week Back? One Chair Needing Repair? Status: Blind Luck.

A couple days ago I found a slightly rough Drexel Profile dining table and Six chairs.  Because one of the Two armchairs has a single broken and missing dowel in the seat back I wrote that I hoped to find another chair that would kindly donate one.  Guess what!

Today's C-list Adventure Turned Up A John Van Koert Designed Drexel Profile Dining Table And 6 Chairs. It's Solid And An Excellent Candidate For Refinish Or Use As Is. Status: Freshly Picked.

Last evening I was poking around the various craigslists in the area just on the off chance that I might find a couple more danish dining chairs to go with the Frem Rojle pair I featured yesterday.  I was plugging "Dining Chairs" into the search boxes and scavenging through the lists when this Drexel Profile set popped up!  It had languished there for more than 9 days, unsold.
