Retro CoMO

Vintage Desk.  I like this desk.  It looks a lot like the one I have at my house.  Nice Danish styling and tapered legs.  Useful but decorative.  Seller says it’s wooden and in fine condition, but I am sure that is veneer.  Mine cleaned up really nicely with Restor-A-Finish.  (I am not paid by Restor-A-Finish, but I am willing to sell out.)  The top of my desk is not even wood veneer, so I bought some glass for the top, which camouflages it nicely while providing some protection.  It was cheap and worth it.

$30 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Wooden Desk.

Postal Sorting Table.  This is the kind of thing I love to see on Craigslist.  Who would not want this in their house?  Sure, it weighs 400 lbs, would take up my entire living room, and I have no practical use for it at all.  What is your point, exactly?  I want it.  It was just removed from service at the Armstrong, Missouri Post Office and was made in 1956.

$300 OBO in Moberly (30 minutes north of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Postal Sorting Table.

Matching Lamps.  These have a sort of newish look to them, but I’m reading the details and I think they are vintage.  I like the shade.  It looks vintage as well.  They would be great bedside lamps, don’t you think?  Seller says they’re in excellent condition.

$30 for both in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Matching Deco Lamps.

Dresser Set. I love these!  The shape, the style, the condition- it’s all awesome.  Perfect Danish modern.  And they’ll hold a lot of clothes.  You’ll wish you had a mirror over the lowboy, but it doesn’t need to match.  Go creative and hang a bunch of hand mirrors above it in a pattern.

$250 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Bedroom Set- 2 Dressers.

Bar Stools. There are three of them with the chrome and the white vinyl seats.  The vinyl appears to be in good shape and you can’t beat this price.  I like the detail in the seat backs.  These would fit with a lot of different kinds of decor.

All 3 for $15 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Bar Stools.

Vintage Exercise Bicycles.  They’re cheap and I bet they have a smaller footprint than the newer ones.  I like the vintage style of them (especially the one with the big leather seat- I don’t know why) and I like the color.  They’ll work just as well as the new ones!

$30 in Kirksville, Missouri (Kirksville Craigslist).  Here’s the link: Vintage Exercise Bikes.

Kroehler Dresser.  Vintage blond wood lowboy dresser.  Seller lists the dimensions and says it is in good condition.  I like this style.  This is another credenza-y one that could be used as a TV stand without looking like it came out of your bedroom.  Or put your TV on top of it in your bedroom.  The possibilities are limitless.

$30 in Moberly (30 minutes north of Columbia).  Here’s the link: 8 Drawer Kroehler Dresser.
