These Danish bookshelves always seem to go for pretty good money on Ebay. It seems like I saw these all the time at the thrift stores. Of course once I noticed they were worth something, I couldn't find one to save my life.

Mr. Telephone Man...There's Something Wrong With My Line...When I Dial My Baby's Number...I Get a "Click" Every Time. Status: Ain't No Ringing Goin' On Here.
You've no doubt noticed the yellow telephone in the background of some (OK, ALOT) of my pics. It's just one of many....of course.

Mother Modtomic's Crib. Nothing Like My Place But Really Really Cool Too. Status: Adorned And Bedecked.
This doesn't really "go" with most of what you'll see here but my mom rocks at turning a humble wood box into a beautiful home. She's also pretty handy with a tack hammer, thread and needle and paintbrush. Video "slide show" inside!

It's Time To Get Cookin! Status: Ok, So They Ain't "All Clad"...But They Look Pretty Cool!
Yup, collectible pots and pans...you know, I almost wrote "I seem to collect everything but the kitchen sink" but I have two vintage double drainboard sinks in my other garage.

"Orange" You Glad I Didn't Say Banana? Status: Hmmm...Could Hold A Lot Of Potpourri.
Dang, this has been in the garage for a LONG time! I forgot all about it. As you might have guessed, we are big fans of Orange stuff.

Sorry For The Delay! Merry Christmas Everybody. Took A Lil' Hike Around The Hood And Took Pics Of All The Pretty Lights. Status: Took Forever To Upload.
Check out my lil' video. I hope everybody likes Dean Martin. I tried and tried to upload this last night, but it just wasn't going to happen. Then...when I DID get it to upload, the audio was messed up. So I gave up until today.

I Took The Day Off Yesterday And Dropped By Treasure Aisle Antique Mall Here In StL. To Get Some Pics Of The Joint For Ya. Status: Good Stuff Round Every Corner.
This cool little "console" TV caught my eye right away. The tag says "Decoration Only $65" but I bet you could fit either an older TV into this cabinet or fit a flat panel TV into it!

I Spotted This Odd Chair At The Antique Mall A Couple Weeks Ago, Then Spotted It Online. Status: Mystery
I looked at this chair for a long time that evening. It's so not my style but there was just something about it that held my attention. It certainly is stiking.

Sigh...Remember Summer? Oh How I Miss Those Warm Days Under The Hot Sun. How 'Bout Some Sweet Tea Served In Salem Biscayne Tea Glasses And Pitcher? Status: Very Very Untimely.
Mmmmm, don't it look so cool and refreshing? I guess since it's just a picture, you could imagine it as warm and soothing with all the orange and spice stuff in it!

I Felt Like Dropping Some Pics Of My (Collection Of?) Extra Mod Upholstery Fabric. Status: Laying In Wait.
I started buying this stuff a while back when I was going to recover a bunch of Tulip chair seats pads. Then I just started buying it any time I found some that caught my eye.

Little Bit Of A Before And After. My Recovered Brasilia Dining Chairs. Status: Two-Thirds done.
Between the 17 or so Brasilia dining chairs I've had in the last year or so I have been blessed with a full set of six that had the original upholstery in good condition, but I'm not a fan of the "birds" so I traded them to a buddy along with a pedestal table for my long "legged" table that he had already freshened up.

Ain't This Just About The Sexiest Black Leather Sofa You Ever Wanted To Sprawl Out On? Status: Yeah, Still Needs A Little Cleanup...I Couldn't Wait!
::Shakes Head:: This was found at the Goodwill just down the road a bit from here! It's REAL Leather. It's Thayer Coggin! It's from 1969! It's older than Mr. Modtomic!
