Craigslist Find - Mid Century Desk

I've been searching for a decent desk for the upstairs office for awhile now.  Of course I wanted a large teak mid century modern desk but didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for it.  For weeks I searched Craigslist neurotically trying to find something which would not only look good, but would be functional.  Ended up finding this here on the Hill from a couple that had just moved into an apartment by Eastern Market.  They couldn't fit all their furniture into the space and something had to go.  Ended up paying $30.00 for it, but had to carry it down two flights of stairs with Reg.  Ended up killing our backs, but I love it.

Mid century Modern Stools

Saarinen style stool found at Hunted House on 11/06.

Burke dinning chairs

Two Burke dinning room chairs found on Craigslist for $89.00 on 2/1/2009. Couldn’t figure out why the seller set the price at such an odd number. Chairs go perfect with our Burke table from Home Anthology. Love the orange fabric on the cushions.

Home

A.H. McIntosh buffet, purchased from Home Anthology.  One of two Saarinen oval tables found in Galveston Tx after Hurricane Ike in parents garage.  By far my greatest mid-century find.

Saarinen Tables

Found two Eero Saarinen side tables today buried in hurricane Ike mud. They were in great shape with the original tags. Cleaning them up I took off some of the tags, but you can still read the Knoll International address in New York City. I don’t know how I’m going to get them home, but I’ll be damned if I leave them in Galveston.
