Sigh....Anybody Wanna Go Over To AT To Defend Mr. Modtomic? Status: Sniff Sniff, It's Nothin'...I Got Dust In My Eye.

Mr. Modtomic was contacted my an Apartment Therapy contributor a few days ago and was asked if he wouldn't mind allowing the use of the above photo for a posting. "Sure", I said, with the condition that a link be provided back here.

A First at Mr. Modtomic. Reader Contributions! Finally...I Don't Have To Do ALL The Work! Status: Not Mine!

No, Mr. Modtomic didn't make the six hour drive (each way!) to Cincinnati OH for the Modernism Show. Luckily he had his Star Photog. woman on the scene, Kim (quinn) send him some phone pics! Oh, and a friend of mine up the street sent me a link to a Great set of YouTube videos that I'll bet you'll enjoy, too! Look inside!

Even MORE Stuff For Sale 'Round Town...OK, So The Goods Ain't as Pretty...but They's Lots Cheaper! Status: Ain't Open on Sundays Folks!

Yeaaaahhhhhh.....it's not really fair to drop this posting after all the eye candy yesterday.  But whateve'.  This stuff's got Finance on it's side!

This is Pretty Much THE Shop Here in St. Louis. TFA - The Future Antiques. Status: Legen...(wait for it)........................dary

Never mind that lil' bit of snow you see there, this place is warm and inviting! Better bring an empty car and fat wallet. You're gonna want to take LOTS of stuff home with ya! C'mon in, I'll show ya around.

With Great Furnishings Comes Great Responsibility. Even The Most Amazing Sofa Is Not An Island (well, unless it's in the middle of the room) and Needs That "Finishing Touch". Status: Just Hangin' Around (available!).

Illuminate put me onto this sofa or mantle size print last Sunday (sorta). She had made a visit to the Goodwill in St. Charles and spotted it and says she immediately thought of me and that she would tell me all about it.

The Culprit...Formica. Oh, How I'm Torn. Beautiful, Durable, Purveyor of BAD Habits! Status: In the Immortal Words of The Clash, "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?".

Yeah, I'm not sure if these are going to stick around. I've got plenty of tables already. But they sure are pretty. It'll be hard to let them go. You just don't see Formica such an amazing color very often. "What, white?", you ask? Oh now, you'll just have to look inside!

I Just (& I Mean JUST!) Got This Danish Recliner. But Gawd Did I Have to Make a Roadtrip For It! Status: Fresh From The 'List.

This was listed on the 'list yesterday at 9 am, for just $28. I got an e-mail off at 11:30 am. Surprised that I got it? Me too...a little.

Thrift Hardware? The Habitat For Humanity ReStore is a Great Resource for Vintage / Retro findings too! Status: For a Good Cause.

A really nice Frigidaire Flair sits just inside the front door! There's lots more contemporary or "new" items than vintage, but there's always Something good there.

What The??? I Guess I AM Collecting the Navajo. Like I Had Any Choice! Status: Thrift-ucopia!

Oops, This was supposed to Post at about 12:10 am, but I messed up!  Sorry.  Here ya go!

This alone might have been enough to satisfy The Urge, but no...there were scores a-plenty all week long!

Another Great Estate Sale - Another Beautiful Pink Bathroom! Status: Got What I Went For.

No...I didn't buy this AMAZING pink Caloric Range...but it was Seriously hard to resist!

So What Can I Get Ya? Six Seltzer Bottles...No Waiting at the Modtomic Lounge! Status: Like There's Any Seltzer in Any Of Those!

It's been a long week...who else needs a drink?

Kent Coffey Made Some Really Mod Designed Furnishings. This "Perspecta" Mirror Was From One of My Favorite Lines. Status: Available.

This came with a HUGE long low Kent Coffey Perspecta dresser that left my possession long ago. The new owner didn't want the mirror so it's still available!

Thought I'd Mix it up a Little! Ain't They like a "Beam" of "Sun" Shine? Get it...Mix...Sun...Beam? Status: Am I a Riot?

The Three Amigos. Yes, I do have a Chrome one and a White one...somewhere, but they are kinda beside the point. These babies are all about the color!

I'm Sure We've All Eaten Swedish Fish as Children...but Danish Fish? They Ain't For Eatin'! Status: Under-utilized (apparently).

Oh, I know...Mr. Modtomic is such a tease. What on earth could that be a picture of? Look inside to see!

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.
