Bar Keepers Friend! Miracle Cure...Or Something Like That. This Stuff Is So Good. Magical Even. Remember These Dorothy Thorpe Silver Rim Bowls I Featured A Few Days Ago? All Cleaned Up And Ready For A Party! Status: Available!

This stuff is so useful.  I love my Goofoff...but this stuff is at Least as useful.  The silver rim on this chip and dip set was kind of a mess but Bar Keepers Friend polished it right up.

Ahhh...Nice! More Knoll / Saarinen Armchairs! You Only See Five Right Here But I Assure You That There Are Nine Total. Hey, It's Hard To Shoot Nine Chairs All At Once! Status: Available.

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!

Yeah, I Know...They're Not Vintage, But They Are Out Of Production Ikea Lillberg. Ikea? Again, I Know...But We Takes Whats We Can Gets, And I Gotta Admit That It's A Great Looking Set! Status: Available.

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.

No, It's Obviously Not An Arne Jacobson Egg Chair By Fritz Hansen...But It's Still A Fun Swivel Chair "In The Style Of". It's Origin Is A Mystery Since I Cannot Find Another Like It On The Web. Status: Avaiable.

I've actually got a PAIR of these with one already in my booth at The Antique Mall Of Creve Coeur and the other waiting for a place to put it.  They needed a good vacuuming but turned out to be much nicer than I thought from looking at the craigslist pics from whence they came.

Say, Remember That Canadian Made - Danish Modern Bedroom Suite That I Featured Here A Couple Months Ago? I've Got Another Set By The Same Company With An Even MORE Engaging Style. Status: Already Gone.

You might recall the "Cana-Danish Modern" bedroom set that I featured here back in March.  That set caused quite an uproar with a local buyer who missed buying the set and was quite "vocal" about it, but this set was procured with much less drama.

Another Domino Mobler Teak Desk? Why Yes...Yes Indeed! I Can't Pass Up An Opportunity To Drop One Of These Fantastic Teak Beauties In My Booth At The Antique Mall Of Creve Coeur. Status: Available

A sizable hole opened up in my booth a couple of weeks ago and up until this weekend I've been unable to fill it.  But, as we all know...when it rains - it pours!  And rain & pour it did today while unloading Frank!

Lord, Sometimes It Takes Me Forever To Get A Project Done. This Pair Of Teak Nesting Tables Have Been Super Patient Waiting For Me To Refinish Them For Over A Year! Status: Done And Available @ Time Machine Antique Mall.

We went to an all "Mid-Century" auction quite a while back wherein I purchased a few select items, all wanting for a bit of love.  This pair of teak danish modern nesting tables was one of just a few lots that went cheap enough for me to bring home, but they were a mess.

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!

If You Follow My Twitter Feed You May Have Already Gotten A Little Glimpse Of This Domino Mobler Danish Modern Desk. I Haven't Picked Up Much Lately And Bringing This Home A Couple Of Days Ago Was A Nice Prize. Status: Gone

My buddy Jeff had one of these desks a while back.  Actually, he showed it to me the day we first kinda met.  I was buying a couple of Herman Miller sofas from him and, like me, he has lots of other stuff sitting around.  A desk just like this was one of them.

CanaDanish Modern? Who Knew That Canada Made Such Spectacular Vintage Modern Furniture? I Still Don't Have A Name For The Manufacturer Though. Can Anybody Help Out? Status: Mystery / Gone.

Sweet weekend score, right?!  Have you ever seen a set like this before?  I've only seen a piece similar to this at An Orange Moon in Chicago, but that was a buffet and while it did have a similar base, the details were different.  No markings in the drawers for ID on it either.

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!

Howdy! Need A Hand? Sorry I've Been Absent As Of Late. Just Needed A Little Break. No Worries Though, I'm Still Hard At Finding The Good Stuff. Here's Some Small Recent Finds. Status: Keepers / Flippers.

I don't know why I'm so fascinated by glass body parts.  I've still got a pair of those glass heads floating around here somewhere.  I think it has something to do with reminding me of the many Ernest Trova sculptures peppering the St. Louis area.

What Else Is New In Booth 307 - Creve Coeur Antique Mall? Well, How About A Nice Matched Set Of Lane Perception Living Room Tables, Including A Long Low Coffee Table With Drawer?! Status: Available.

Finding any Warren Church / Perception pieces in the wild is tough enough, finding a great matching set of living room tables...well, let me just say it like this: I've never even found a coffee table like this until this score, much less a full on matched set!

Emotional Furniture Diaries: Today The Powers That Be Have Seen Fit To Extradite Me From My Current Servitude To What Appears To Be A Holding Cell. My Hopes For Eventual Freedom Wane. Status: Available.

As I sit quietly observing from the corner of the living room, I watch as a myriad of others had seemingly talked their way into freedom from the prison that are the four dull pastey white walls of the last...I lose count...has it been Fourty or Fifty years?

I Almost Forgot! When I Picked Up The Danish Server Cart Last Weekend I Also Nabbed A Couple Other Items, Including This Fantastic Baughman-esque Glass And Chrome Coffee Table. Status: Available.

Just like my previous experience in helping to clean out a home, I ended up with more than I thought I would. Not AS much more, but extras are extras!

Just After Returning From New Orleans I Got A Call From The Owner Of Creve Coeur Antique Mall Asking If I Could Check Out Some Furniture A Friend Of Hers Was Liquidating. This Amazing Teak Server Was Just Part Of The Haul. Status: Available!

Wow, this is twice in the last Six months or so that I've been asked by a friend to take a look at some furniture that was being let go of.  I've always been wary of these offers, mostly because I'm a big softy and can totally empathize with the seller who just needs to have the stuff gone and turned into cash.  It's hard for me to say "no, sorry...not my style".

This Weekend We Found A Little Time For Some Goodwill Hunting And Mr. Modtomic Bagged Himself A Splendid Pair Of Matching Hexagon End Tables. Status: Almost Ready.

I haven't had time (actually, it's just either too cold or rainy out) to give these matching and somewhat intriguing end tables the cleaning they deserve. I may just have to do it in the booth as I did with the last set of Broyhill Sculptra that I had at Creve Coeur. It's not ideal, but it ain't gonna get done in the cold or rain!

Brutalism And Fancy Fishes! Who Needs Curtis Jere Or Flights Of Birds? The Style Smacks Of William Freidel But The Piece Doesn't Appear To Be Signed. Status: Available.

When I went out to pick up the pair of Pearsall style chairs I featured last time here on Mr. Modtomic I was lucky enough to find this exceptional vintage modern wall sculpture available as well.  Of course I had to grab it up and now it's available out at Creve Coeur too.

Yesssss... I FINALLY Found An Appropriate Top For The Florence Knoll Table / Desk Base That Has Been MOCKING Me For Months! The Top? A Maybe Two Hundred Pound Slab Of Beautiful Polished Granite. Beautiful, No?! Status: Available.

Damn, looking at this combo again now, hours later, I'm kinda wondering if maybe I should be keeping this!  I've already got a Florence Knoll dining table and I think this would fit nicely in the kitchen as my computer desk.  Hmmm.

Phwew...This Fall Has Kept Mr. Modtomic Busy Haulin' New Stock To Both Antique Malls. I Never Truely Expect That I'll Do So Well...So It Feels Pretty Darn Good When I Do! Status: Video Walk Through.

Update!!! I've Uploaded A New Version That Isn't "Sketchy" Like Before. Much Easier On The Eyes!!!

Yup, I know that not everybody appreciates a Video Blog Post, but I just gotta do one once in a while.  Turn your sound down if you're at work and enjoy the show!
