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.

Danish Wall Unit 2009

I really want a danish wall unit like this. I even have the perfect place for this, in the dinning room by our Burke table. Unfortunately I don't have da money for it, and I've certainly never seen something like this at a thrift store.

Eames for Herman Miller chair

Purchased today off Craigslist 3/8/2009 for $200.00. Alot for a chair, but it works perfectly with my new desk. Herman Miller logo underneath with a date stamp of January 3, 1977. It also has a Herman Miller inspection sticker on it with the name Ken Overweg.

DC Big Flea

Just purchase this big ass lamp from the DC Flea for 95.00

Estate sale treasure

Old funky chunky lamp purchased in Alexandria VA from an estate sale on 03/03/2009. I'm really into mid century lamps now.

Attack of the funky lamps

Table lamp purchased 02/21/2009 for $40.00 in Frederick MD.

Metlox Contempora

Metlox Contempora. One of my favorite lines of dinnerware.

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.

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.

George Nelson Gentleman's Chest

George Nelson for Herman Miller gentleman’s chest. Purchased from Home Anthology in Catonsville MD for $630.

Home

Burke

Our new Burke dining room table set from Home Anthology. I wish it was a Saarinen, but then I would be afraid to eat off it.

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.
