Heywood-Wakefield Desk.  Don’t cry.  Please don’t cry.  I know, someone painted a Heywood-Wakefield desk.  Not just painted, but PAINTED.  My mother would refer to this color as Thunder Blue.  A lot of atrocities are committed with Thunder Blue paint, I have to say.  Seller says you can strip it.  You can strip it, but at this price it’s not much of a deal.  Unless you’re handy like that, and you don’t cry easily.

$350 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Heywood Wakefield Antique Wooden Desk.

Waterfall Bedroom Set.  I know these aren’t really modern at all, but art deco-ish, but I have a thing for them.  Something about the giant round mirrors seems so glamorous.  Includes vanity, dresser, and bed frame.  I assume the bench as well?  You better ask.

$250 in Carrollton.  Here’s the link: Bedroom set.

Wicker Fan Chair.  This is a deal!  If you buy this, you must send me a picture of you posing in it in a pink floaty organza dress and floppy hat.  I expect it!  Later it will be a good place for you to drape clothes and pile shoes.

$7 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Wicker Chair.

Retro Dining Set.  Blond retro drop leaf table with six chairs, two piece hutch, and lighted dry bar.  Seller says it’s in great shape.  I love the style.  I want a dry bar.  Don’t we all?

$595 in Perry, Missouri (north of Mexico, about 1.5 hours from Columbia).  Here’s the link: Retro Dining Set.
