Retro CoMO

I haven’t had much luck on Craigslist lately, but maybe everyone is waiting for spring cleaning to get rid of their wonderful Danish modern stuff.  You think?

Anyway, here are some pictures from my house.  I’ve been meaning to post some since I started taking them last fall.

I bought the credenza (marked American of Martinsville) on Craigslist, the painting on Etsy, and the lamp from a store in Sedalia, Missouri, called Chelsea’s Antiques.

I bought the chair on eBay and the lamp from Funtiques in Springfield, Missouri.  The table above and the coffee table and corner table came as a set, and I bought them from the Brass Armadillo, an antique mall in Grain Valley, Missouri.  The stuff on the wall came from everywhere- family, Etsy, antique malls.  Most of it I’ve had forever.

The Cromcraft chair is from Chelsea’s Antiques in Sedalia.  The Flanders desk was free from a family member, along with the Olivetti typewriter (my mother’s high school graduation present).

The Dux couch I got on Craigslist, and had it recovered.  The chairs came from my favorite store in the world, The Future Antiques in St. Louis.

A better look at the chairs.  They are marked Moss Bly.

This is my beautiful Lux starburst clock, which I bought on eBay.  I actually replaced the hands on this with the original brass hands, which makes it look slightly different.

A better look at the base of one of the lamps in the living room.  I have to agree with Anchorman: I love lamp[s].  I bought this one at the Brass Armadillo antique mall in Grain Valley.

Generally, my house does not look this clean.  Most of these photos involved a few minutes of styling before I took the picture.  I think all of these photos were taken for my 365 project, which I have exhaustively covered over on my photo blog, if you have any interest in following it.  I may post more details later and maybe pictures of other rooms if they ever get clean enough to deserve documentation!
