Oh How I Wish There Were More Vintage Modern Vendors Here At The Antique Mall Of Creve Coeur. There Are A Couple Others, But This Is A BIG Place. I Don't Want A Monopoly! Status: Other Vendors Stuff.

If I didn't already have one of these (OK, I think mine is a 9 bottle rack but still, I think I've caught my limit!) I would have snatched this Arthur Umanoff steel and leather wine rack right up. But I didn't and as a result...You Can!

So No, It's Not A Milo Baughman Chair As Thought Perhaps It Might Be By The Previous Owner. And It's Not A Mies Van Der Rohe Brno Chair Either. It's Kind Of A Mash Up! Status: Available.

We spotted this chair quite a while back at a local consignment / resale shop in St. Chuck.  I inquired about the price since it didn't have a tag at the time.  They told me it was available on eBay at the time.  I checked eBay and did indeed find it, but not at a price I was going to be interested in paying!

I Spent My Saturday Evening Power Cleaning These Black And Stainless Steel "BRNO" Chairs With My New (To Me!) Bissel Little Green Pro Heat Machine And This Afternoon Dropping Off Them And An Eames Segment Base Table At My Booth In The Creve Coeur Antique Mall. Status: Available!

How monochromatic is that?  Nothing but silver, black and grey.  Well, it ain't like it's a set.  Each piece can be had separately and mixed / matched with some of the other chairs / tables I have, you might find elsewhere in the mall or maybe you have at home.

...And Finally, The Swag From The Midway Antique Mall! I Only Journeyed To Mid-Missouri For One Dresser, But Returned Home With A Car Load! Status: Nice Haul.

The last item I found at the Midway Antique Mall was this Moe Honeycomb pendant lamp.  It's in remarkably good shape, having no appreciable scratches or any cracks in that beautiful golden orange honeycomb cone.

Another Pair Of Black And Chrome BRNO Chairs? How Lucky Can Mr. Modtomic Be?! Well, Lucky Might Not Be The Right Word. Zero Sum...Maybe That's Closer. Status: Pickup Tomorrow

After getting a late start today, I tried to deliver some more items to the new booth at the Creve Coeur Antique Mall.  See, what happen was...I've been trying to get the items I've got at the shop in St. Charles packed up, stuffed in Frank and over to the new booth space.  I got Two out of Three today.

Even Though I've Been Feeling Under The Weather For The Last Couple Of Days Or So, I Still Managed To Procure A Nice Set Of Mies Van Der Rohe "BRNO" Chairs Last Sunday Evening. Status: Paired!

Sadly, no tags.  Probably not Knoll since the seller...well, said they weren't.  Still, they got style for miles and they'll go nicely with the chrome base table I featured a few days ago.  I've still got to fix up the top of that table though, so it'll be a while.

More Pics From The Randolph Street Market In Chicago. And Believe Me...This Isn't Even The HALF Of It! Oddly Enough Though, The Flea Isn't What I'd Call Huge...Or Even That Big. Status: Well Curated!

20130824_111218

THIS is what happens when a flea can pick and choose who sets up.  Instead of wildly random vendors, you can see a focus develop.  It's not so narrow as to end up with just 25 buyers walking around either.  My guess, it takes a delicate touch and a spine of steel.  Don't know if I'd want that job!

I Have No Children And Don't Plan On Ever Having Any Of The Crumbsnatchers...So What The Heck Is This Cosco Booster Seat Doing At The Modtomic Ranch? Status: It's Not...It's At The Green Shag Market!

I...Love...These.  So much so that I wish that there was a larger version for adults!  I'd so have one...or wish I could have one, or whatever.  Since there isn't I've had to make do with (strangely) longing for one of these in it's original infant configuration.  As of last weekend I will long no more.

::Update!:: Back With Some More "Design Within OUR Reach". This Time I Found Some Mies Van Der Rohe "BRNO" Chairs In Sleek Stainless Steel And Lushious Chocolate Brown Leather. Status: Liquidation Special.

So right away, let me get this out of the way...sadly, they are not Knoll.  They are "Made In China" repros.  I know, I was disappointed too.  Still, they are super nice reproductions, being made of real leather and polished stainless steel.  My hopes were high but did I really think my luck was that good?  Uh uh.  ::Check inside for a lil more info I just came across::
