Yeah, 3 car garage. See any cars? See A car? Nope. It's funny when people ask if they can just stop by and look around.

It's Nuts How Much Cool Stuff Is Abandoned At The Thrift Stores! Status: Go Get It Folks...PLEASE!
I love Starbursts but I've never warmed up to this pattern, Star Glow. The gold just doesn't do anything for me. Good thing, like I need Another pattern to collect. Still, that is a pretty good deal.

A Place To Rest Your Weary Bum While Pickling Your Liver! Status: Likes...Big...Butts & They Cannot Lie...
These sweet bar stools were a Craigslist snatching. These were bought out of need as we were putting together our liqueur dispensary (back down at the South City pad) and figured it might be nice for some folks who might over indulge (you know who you are...OK, I know who I am) to have a place to Plant It.

Am I Kinda Weird? I Mean...Bowling Bags? Status: Out In The Garage Collecting Cobwebs.
It's not only a strange collection, it's hard to display! But c'mon, don't these just Scream 1950s, 1960s!?!?

I have a great story about finding this sofa. It really nails my personality. Yes it was at a Thrift Store, blah blah blah.

Charles And Ray Are Paying A Little Visit. Well, OK...Not Charles And Ray, But Their Proxy By Way Of Four Shell Chairs! Status: Sorry...Gone.
Yup, these were thrown in to sweeten a trade I made today. I (only just) reluctantly gave up the Broyhill Brasilia desk that I picked up last weekend for these four Herman Miller "Zeeland" shell chairs designed by Charles and Ray Eames as well as a pretty cool console stereo that I'll get a post of up soon.

The Fall Collection. Franciscan Autumn. Status: Uh...A Little Late, Haven't You Heard...It's Winter!
Well the leaves are all off the trees and I'm just now getting around to pulling down the Franciscan Starburst and replacing it with my collection of Franciscan Autumn. At this rate it'll probably be Easter before I get the winter dishes (Salem Northstar) out for display!

Cool Stuff @ The Salvation Army That I Didn't Buy! Status: Languishing In The Basement.
This American of Martinsville five drawer dresser looks so cool in Gloss Black with a Gloss White top. It was just a little too pricey at $75 for me to bring it home.
