Dang, It's Been A Long Time Since I've Found Some Cool Art. Kinda Makes Me Wanna Keep It! Le Creuset Cookware...Great Color And Great Cookware, But I Don't Really Cook. It'll Be Easier To Let Go. Status: Booth Fodder.

It's looking like an Orangey Orange weekend here at the Modtomic Ranch!  Picked up a great Le Creuset sauce pan a couple days ago and just got the tall Sunset screenprint piece today.

I Like Ben. I Like Hot Chocolate. Put The Two Together On A Snowy Winter Day And I'm A Pretty Happy Guy. Throw In A Great Thrift Store Find For Good Measure And It's A Really Good Day! Status: Still...Headed To The Booth.

Don't ya just love it when you find something good AND "signed" at the thrift?  Yeah, I know...they're not really signed but it's a lot closer than just a blank bottom!  And I got a LOT of 'em!

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.

A Gift Horse Would Have To Be One Uuuugly Steed For This Guy To Look Him In The Mouth. A Friend Offered This Hot Mess To Me For The Low Low Price Of Nuthin' And In The Back Of Frank It Went! Status: Now What?

Right, so what do I need with another Eames lounger knockoff project?  I don't.  But alas, I just couldn't say "No"!  Surely I can find something to do with this mess of a lounge chair.

A Little Trip To The Salvation Army Thrift Store Yesterday Turned Out To Be Quite Fruitful. I FINALLY Found A Stand For The Little Christmas Tree And A Cool 1960s Decor Book. Status: Keeping The Book.

I love finding these vintage decor books.  They seem so few and far between.  And a tree stand for the metal Christmas tree stand?  Don't get me started how hard I searched for That!

You Know I Don't Really Mess With Fiestaware Too Much. I Certainly Don't Collect It. It's Just Too Hard To Keep In Mind Which Pieces Are New And Which Are Vintage. Still, When I Find It And I've Got The Time To Look It Up... Status: Picked.

I've got a book on all this stuff in my booth (well, I think it's still in there), but maybe I need to pull it out and keep in my "library" since figuring out whether this stuff is vintage or not is kind of a pain.  I'm like 90% sure this is Very vintage, like 1930's vintage, but since Fiesta kept messing with the marks and all, it's still hard to pin down.

Sorry 'Bout Not Getting This Out Earlier. Kinda Felt Ill Last Night. But At Least I Do Have Something Cool For Ya! Status: Modified Brasilia.

No no, this King Size Brasilia Bookcase headboard isn't the said "Modified Brasilia"...I don't want to shock any delicate sensibilities so you'll have to click through to peruse THAT! Reader Jeff from KC was kind enough to share some photos of his personal Brasilia collection, one piece of which has been cleverly repurposed.

Some Nifty Finds From Recent Times As Well As Earlier This Summer. A Couple Salem Biscayne Pitchers And A Mexican Handmade Bird. Status: Mystery.

I forgot all about the mixed metal bird art.  I picked up the larger Biscayne gravy pitcher a few days ago and the smaller cream pitcher has been hanging around here for a while.  Time I blogged about 'em all, wouldn't you say?

I Picked Up Another Danish Modern Three Light Pendant Monday Before Work. It Was A Late Night Craigslist Find That I Should Have Found And Snatched Saturday. Status: All's Well That End Well.

This fixture is another one of those killer items that got overlooked by everybody on craigslist...
including me!  I had been listed early Saturday afternoon and I didn't spot it until late Sunday evening.  I hate it when that happens.

Party Time Is Just Around The Corner. Gotta Stock Up On Barware. Not Just Me...YOU TOO! Nothing Says Class Like A Silver Rim Flute Full Of Champagne Or A Chalice Full Of Miller High Life...If You're On The South Side. Either Way, Got Ya Covered! Status: Party Ready!

Nice barware scores, right?  I just got the Dorothy Thorpe style silver rim flutes today.  The Ruby Red chalices were a weekend find that I'm just now getting around to unwrapping.

Guess Who's Got Wood? This Guy! That is...I Got A Wood Butcher Block By Boos And A Vintage Wood Coca Cola Crate Too. Just A Couple Of Wooden Items I Found At The Thrifts This Weekend. Status: For The Booth.

You know those carts the Goodwill rolls out hoping the hoarders (you know 'em, they're the ones who grab a cart as soon as they walk in the front door) clean off so they won't have to find a place on the shelves for the stuff.  That's were I found both of these items!  But relax, I didn't fill up a cart...or block all the aisles with it either.

Christ...My Booth Is Starting To Be Better Appointed Than HOME! Well, Not Really...But It's Getting There. Today We Dropped In A Lovely Chesterfield Sofa! Status: Available...Now!

Dang, I almost wish OUR living room looked this good.  Cohesive...maybe that's the word.  That walnut Drexel Declaration coffee table, a comfy leather Westnofa lounge chair and now, the classic Chesterfield sofa.  Get that Burke dining set out of there and that could be any of our living rooms I'd say.

Along With The Laurel Lamp I Picked Up Yesterday Before Work I Snatched A Matched Pair Of Lovely Little Marble Base Table Lamps. Same Seller. Status: Hoping For Matched Shades.

I'm such a sucker for matched pairs of stuff, like nightstands....and well, lamps.  The problem with lamps is finding matched shades for them since most of the time, when you find a lamp or lamps, the shades are toast.  This pair came with shades but they were miss-matched.  So I'll be on the lookout.

I Found This Little Gem Of A Laurel Floor Lamp On Craigslist Yesterday Morning. It Was Such A Bargain That I Really Wanted To Nab It That Morning But The Timing Was Off. Had To Wait Until Today. Status: Nabbed!

Aside from the shade...Ain't this a lovely vintage modern Laurel floor lamp?  Alas, the shade came with it.  Sorta Antiquey right?  Not really our thing...but you don't throw the baby out with the bath water, do you?!

A Few Weeks Ago The Girlfriend, Some Other Friends And I Went To The Theater To See Ender's Game. Yeah, I Read The Book (The Girlfreind Made Me A While Back) But I'm Cool With It Being Different. Status: Can't Wait For The DVD.

I Love big block buster movies!  Yeah, there's a lot of haters out there who quote all differences but c'mon...  Truth is, I didn't exactly memorize the book, so I don't even know what they are going on about.  I just thought it was a freakin' cool flick!  But what was even cooler...
