Is someone trying to kill me?

I am about to have a heart-attack over all this mid-century furniture.  It's too much in one day!  
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1150972584.html

A moment of silence, cont'd....

Person, you're KILLING me!!!!!  I am lamenting my bone-dry checkbook.  
I want ALL this stuff!  
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1117874872.html

I mean let's be honest, scores like these are just that...SCORES.

A moment of silence, please

There are no words for how F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. the following finds are:

Don't you just love Eames era digs?

Click the link just to see all the pictures of them in all their glory.
This lamp would make Jonathan Adler proud.  The base, that is.  The shade is pretty u-g-l-y.

J'adore....teak, mid-century...glorious combination.

Love the clean lines.  Makes me want a martini in my hand, and a long cig holder...while wearing pearls.

This will light you right up.  Again, teak.  LOVE.

I am observing a moment of silence in respect of the person who posted these on CList.  You, my friend, have great taste.  Even the fact that you photographed all these JEWELS in front of a white-washed brick wall....you read my mind.

Color by numbers

And now I simply MUST have steps in my next house.
From Apartment Therapy - Love LOVE this idea!

POP goes the...chair

Spray paint a cheerful color and top with a coat of polyurethane.

And suddendly you have this look:

Yes, please.

3 bell fire alarm!

Better than flea market prices.  The entire set for $650.
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1148597861.html
Let me just say the possibilities are endless.  Re-sell and make some quick cash, paint, recover the chairs, add new hardware.....endless opportunities here.



This chair needs some LOVIN...

You want the look of this chair:
So start with this haggard chair.  
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1149986208.html
Apply liquid sandpaper, paint the wood white, and re-upholster in one of these fabulous fabrics!  Or another that suits your fancy. 
Your friends will envy the chair (and your creativity).







Anthro

First this from Anthropologie to the tune of $298:
And now this from CList...to the tune of $50.
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1149438376.html



Again, thank me later.

Play kitchen

Use your imagination...cut a hole, drop in a bowl, paint this white, and add cute hardware.  What a fabulous play kitchen for your chirrens.  Mine would kill hours with this!

Cocktails, anyone?

$40?  Are you kidding me?  Iron base, glass top.  I can see myself lounging around this puppy with a cocktail in hand, although I would paint the base a fun color...maybe lime green.
