Brick Street Antique Gallery...So Good I Had To Spread It Over Two Postings! Status: Whatcha' Waitin' For?!

DSCN1622

I probably should have listed some sort of contact info yesterday but I was just too tired to remember. Check out an info page here. The address, hours and phone number are there if you are in need. The shop also has a Facebook page if you are into that.

Do NOT Let The "Antique-y" Exterior Fool You, This Joint Gots The Good Stuff. Status: Local? Not So Much...but worth the drive!

DSCN1656

This antique mall, Brick Street Gallery Antiques, is located in downtown Cape Girardeau (jer-are-doe). We stopped in to check out Cape's "antique district" on our way back from New Orleans last week. I didn't expect much as I consider Cape Girardeau to be...how can I say this...out in the sticks. The crossroads of nuthin' and nowhere. I kinda grew up there. Boy was I surprised!

Wait...What The...Didn't I Already Post Danish Stacking Tables? Yep! But They Live In New Orleans Now. Status: Another Set and Available!

I picked these up at the same time I bought the Ib Kofod Larsen chair I featured yesterday. I over paid a little for these but sometimes you do that. No big deal seeing as I underpaid for the chair. It all comes out in the wash.

Selig / Larsen Discovery. Spotted This Vintage Modern Chair "Hidden" in a Craigslist Ad Last Week. Status: Needs A Lil' Freshenin' Up.

DSCN1712

Not a bad C-list find, right? It was just described as a vintage chair and was included in an ad with three other items. I had seen one before on someone else's Flickr page, but I didn't know what it was. After doing a little research and due diligence, I realized it was designed by Ib Kofod Larsen and made by Selig (Blatant Mis-attribution! - Turns out it's actually a Viscount Chair by Dan Johnson!)

New Orleans Vintage Shop Crush. Lil' Place Called Peaches on Magazine Street. Status: This Long Distance Thing Just Won't Work Out.

DSCN1534

This little shop on Magazine Street was a little rough around the edges but definitely had the goods where it counts. If you happen to get down to the Big Easy you might wanna stop by and check it out.

More Awesome Coolness at the Salvation Army in St. Charles. The Wild Print Sofa Was Gone But There Was Plenty To Replace It. Status: Fast Becoming THE Thrift Score Shop?

SSPX2496

Dang, there was a lot of cool furniture at the St. Charles Salvation Army this afternoon! We stopped by since we were in the neighborhood picking up project supplies at a place called Leftovers, Etc. for the Girlfriends work. It's a neat place for all you crafty folks! Anyway, check out the cool stuff that found it's way to the Salv. Army.

Just Got Back From N. O. ALMOST Scored Big Time. Status: ::Sigh::...so close.

This conference table came so close to being adopted by Mr. Modtomic! Do you know why? Take a gander inside if you're scratching your head.

Much To My Chagrin I'm a Collector Of Metlox Navajo. I Finally Unpackaged This and Cleaned It All Up. Status: Not Too Shaby!

Oh Dang, it just occurred to me that I forgot to picture the two console dishes that I have of this pattern! Use your imagination and put a matching pair of console dishes in these pictures!

This is What Was In The Back of Frank (the wagon) Yesterday. I Picked It Up Before Work So I Had To Take The Pics While On Break! Status: Oh The Lengths I Go To Share!

SSPX2464

Wow, Right? I think I pissed off another potential buyer who was waiting at the sellers place when I arrived. I assume they were hoping I wouldn't show or I'd pass on buying the chair. Not A Chance! As a matter of fact, I paid double the asking price!

Got Up Early This Morning to Pick Up a Cool Table And Stopped By the Salvation Army St. Chuck. Status: Always Something Good!

DSCN1416

Found this Amazing setting for Four of Franciscan Duet this morning. I'm not a morning person but I guess it pays to get up early! I snatched this set up, but there's plenty of cool goodies left for the picking. See more inside!

It's Not For Everybody and Not All Of It Really Fits The Vintage Modern Aesthetic, But I DO Love Some Of It! Status: No Room In The China Cab!

DSCN1350

You know, I do have another Brasilia china cabinet top (hutch?) out in the garage that I have attached hairpin legs to (too tall though, gotta put my shorter ones on it). I could put it on this buffet since it's identical to the other that has the china cabinet top on it. Wouldn't that be weird? But then I'd have more room for all my china!
