Lane 3 Piece (There's Actually a 4th in the Garage) Living Room Table Set. Danish Modern? Atomic Inspired? Mid-Century Mod? Status: Looking For a Pigeon Hole.

I'm just not sure how to describe these tables. I hesitate to call them Danish Modern, though I can't explain exactly why. They have a slight Atomic Age look to them but it's very subtle...and Atomic Age doesn't usually drip with subtlety, does it? Mid-Century Modern just seems to cover such a swath of styles.

I Picked Up This Great Set of Metlox Poppytrail "Navajo" for a Song at the South County Antique Mall Last Weekend. Status: Matchy Matchy!

I love the Metlox Poppytrail lines. The finish is great. It has a real organic look to it with the sorta matte finish. Metlox Poppytrail has lots of great patterns.

Ha! Problem Solved. Anyone Wanna' Go Surfin'? Status: Ready To Be Deployed.

I spotted this table on a craigslist ad Thursday morning and tried to contact the seller but wasn't able to until after I got to work. Luckily, no one else snatched it up before me.

Friday Morning Estate Sale Scores! Sleep? Who Needs Sleep? Status: Yaaawwwwnnnnn...Me.

Yup, it's a crummy pic...I know. But a Curtis Jere looks great just about anywhere, right?

Are You Seeing Double Too? Dag...Shouldn't Have Had That Last Coctail! Status: At Least It's Not Two Pink Elephants!

Yeah! More book...(s). So I forgot I had one already and bought a second. I can't remember Everything! I gots lots of stuff.

It Might Be a Cheapy Little Retro Armchair...But it Had Me Oh So Baffeled! Status: Lost and Found!

I couldn't figure it out. I saw this chair every day. I took it for granted. It was just "There"......then, it wasn't.

Ah...the Thayer Coggin is Home. I Finally Got Off My Lazy Bum and Put It In It's Place. Status: Oh...Ooohhhhh So Comfortable.

Having finally let go of the Console Stereo, I was able to move the Thayer Coggin sofa out of the MIDDLE of the livingroom / lounge and USE it! And OMG, this ain't like the other two sofas...this is the Luxury Sofa. Ever seen the movie Buffalo 66? "I'm used to Luxury Cars...have you ever heard of a Luxury Car, you know what Luxury means? Have you ever heard of Cadillac? Cadillac Eldorado? That's what I drive. I drive cars that Shift themselves." 14 minutes into the movie and it's one of the funniest, most "look at how much of a jerk I am" scenes ever. No "Shifter" cars for me, I drive a "Luxury" wagon!

By Popular Demand! Well, at Least a Few Folks Were Asking to See It. The Newest Addition to the Lighted Globe Collection. Status: Hey! It Even Works!

This is the Globe I picked up at the South County antique mall yesterday. Looks good enough as just a globe. Just a regular ol' globe. Nice base though, that chrome is pretty sharp!

Another Lil' Antique Mall Tour. South County Antique Mall. Big Big Place. Status: Bring Your Walking Shoes.

Wheeeee! It's time for another tip-toe through the land of Resale! C'mon in and check out all the cool stuff in South County!

Snatched up this "Occupied Japan" vase from the Goodwill a little while back. Status: Holding it's Own...and some crappy fake plastic flowers.

This is the first piece of Occupied Japan collectible swag that I've ever purchased. Got it for $3. No way, right? Eh, it's got a few cracks...so it's not too big a deal!

More Mod Stereo Coolness from Days Gone By. This is Long Gone and Somewhere In New Orleans. Status: Out-a-site...but not Out-a-mind!

I picked this up off craigslist specifically for an acquaintance in New Orleans a while back. Sadly he had some bill issues and had to re-sell it. How often will you come across something this Mod-tastic?!

Dropped by the St. Charles Salvation Army Thrift Store and Found (Yet Another!) Cool Side Table as well as a Few Other Goodies. Status: Got My Fix, Doin' Fine Thanks!

Sorry 'bout the flash photo. It was on...I was in a hurry this morning...whatev'. Got lots of cool stuff to show ya inside!

It Occurred to Me That I've Never Introduced the Gondola Sofa to You! Status: Nap-tastic!

Yeah, that's right! This is another super comfortable Nap sofa! The seat is nice and flat. Or maybe it's cuz we all started out sleeping on a bed much like this. You know, simple thin mattress supported by taught springs. I can cut some "Z"s on this baby!

We've Had This Lane End Table Forever (Seems Like). I Think the Girlfriend Picked This Up at an Estate Sale Years and Years Ago. Status: Been Around.

It's been in steady use all these years too. First supporting a record player, then lately a Predicta TV.

Mr. Modtomic has Never Been Much of an Art Glass Collector, But a Few Pieces Have Snuck In. Status: Random and Eclectic.

No Fenton, no Carnival glass. I'm not a big collector of glass. I got my reasons though.
