I've Been Wanting To Find One Of These Chaise Lounges For Some Time Now. They Are Incredibly Comfortable And Although Some May Balk At Black And Chrome, Quite A Stylish Statement Piece. Status: Available.

It's not a real LeCorbusier LC4, of course.  I'm not that lucky...and if it was the real deal I wouldn't be parting with it!  Still, it's got style for miles and is so so comfy.  Don't believe?  Drop by the Antique Mall Of Creve Coeur and try it out!

At First I Was Hesitant To Purchase This Rug Because McDuff The Fluff Can Make Such A Mess Of Such Things, But The Girlfriend Suggested I Could Easily Flip It In The Booth. After Shooting These Pics Though, I Think I'll Be Keeping It...Silly Cat Or Not. Status: Keeper.

Love that cat to death, but boy can he make a mess. That fat boy yacks on everything. Well, everything at floor level. At least he ain't yacking on the furniture...yet. So dropping a pretty shag rug in front of his mug might not be the best idea, but we're gonna try it out and see what happens.

It's Been TOO Long Since ANYONE Has Been Able To See This View Of Our Living Room / Cocktail Lounge. And Yes, I Know It's Still A Mess...But At Least You Can See The Floor! Status: Beat.

Like I said yesterday, I've been working like a mad man clearing out the living spaces here at the Modtomic Ranch. I just managed to get about 95% done this morning before heading off to work. Alas, I had little time to actually clean and de-clutter before the Girlfriend's big All Girl Party.

You Know, I've Wanted One Of These For A Long Time. What's That? A Clean, Empty Garage? No, That's The Girlfriend's (Pipe) Dream. I'm More Interested In Finding An LC4 Le Corbusier Lounge. Status: Still Dreaming.

This beautiful lounger has been on Craigslist and has been bumped up for a couple of days now with no takers. As a matter of fact, Mr. Modtomic has been the only one to show any interest at all so far, according to the sellers. What gives?

Today I Wanted To Just Play Around With Some Iconic Images That I'm Sure Most Of You Will Recognize. Status: Happy Monday?

And since I was messing around with editing software to stitch together the photos into the image inside, I thought I'd mess around with the one you see above.  Taking these pics was loads of fun.  Lot of work too.

So I Couldn't Find A "Greetings From" Vancouver BC Postcard But This Looks Pretty Welcoming! Wanna See What Their Craigslist Has To Offer Up For Stylish Bargains? Sure Ya Do! Status: Not My Turf!

Second Beach - Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Souvenir Folder

I got a a crazy notion to do a "Not My Turf" in London England...only to find that their craigslist, well...not to put too fine a point on it, but...it sucks.  I still wanted to do an across the border search so I picked Vancouver.  They got LOTS of contemporary modern and it takes some sifting to find the vintage modern AND at bargain prices.

State Of The Union...Or What Was Buried Under All That Mess. Nightmare Before Christmas Party Tonight, Had To Clean Up. Took Some Pics Of The Joint. Status: Believe It Or Not - Much Better.

Tonight was our annual "Nightmare Before Christmas" party that we throw between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year as a way for all our friends to have a break from family obligations and such.  The living spaces in the house have been in such a major disarray that it took a LOT more effort to get the house into some semblance of order, or at least enough so that it wasn't Totally embarrassing.

Looking For Some Cheap Style? Who Ain't? This One's For You Allie, CinciNasty Oh Hi! Status: Not My Turf!

Greetings from Cincinnati, Ohio - Large Letter Postcard

Another river city like St. Louis Mo, Cincinnati Oh. was screwed by Chicago and the railroad barons of the time and had it's growth stunted.  Still, like the StL, it continues to thrive and well...has a great craigslist vein just waiting to be mined!  Click through and let's dig in!

When Spending The Day Selling Vintage Modern In An Antique Mall Parking Lot, Mr. Modtomic Likes To Keep It...Luxurious. Real Leather And Chrome Steel From Italy Is The Only Way To Lounge. Status: Available...At The Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale!

Oh yes, my good friends.  The Mister and the Girlfriend will be keeping it real at the Green Shag Market Parking Lot Sale today...real COMFORTABLE that is!  These will be available at the sale but I don't care if they sell all day or not.  I'll just be happy to get to sink into their leathery loungey goodness for as long as I can!
