Retro CoMO

Dinette Set.  The seller calls it a Brady Bunch dinette set.  I agree!  I love that fabric.  I also love yellow.  I have documented my love of yellow throughout this site.  Despite the yellow, the price seems pretty high.  But the seller says the chairs are in near-mint condition with no rips or tears, which is great.  That tabletop looks nice too.  Your call.

$200 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Brady Bunch Dinette Set.

Dresser.  It comes with a big mirror.  I can’t tell what kind of drawer pulls those are, but I like the legs.  The wood looks like it’s in good condition.

$125 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Retro 60′s Dresser.

Chaise Lounge.  This looks like it’s in really nice condition, so much so that I wondered if it was even vintage, but then I think they don’t make these anymore, especially with the little wheels on the bottom.  But it’s cool, isn’t it?  I love the red.  I wish I had a reason to own this.

$145 in Glasgow (about 1 hour northwest of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Chaise Lounge.

Old Coke Machine.  Lights work, gets cold, but needs a new door lock.  My brother apparently just inherited one of these.  I am a little jealous, but not enough to go find one of my own.

$300 in Linn (about 1 hour southeast of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Old Coke Vending Machine.

Console Stereo.  GE brand console stereo.  The seller says it’s from 1966 and that the radio and turntable both work, but that there’s some water damage on top of the cabinet.  I wonder how far some Restor-A-Finish would go?  Hmm.

$40 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Antique Console Stereo.

Danish Modern Stereo Console

I love these.  I wanted one last year for a television stand, and settled on a credenza instead.  Which is probably for the better, actually.  With the hollow spot in the middle for the turntable, these aren’t generally strong enough to hold a big heavy non-flatscreen television.  (What?  It hasn’t died yet.  When it dies, I’ll go all LCD.)

Anyway!  The seller says you can play an iPod on this if you use RCA cables, which is pretty cool.  I’m sure the seller would give you a lesson if you wanted to learn.

$150 in Columbia.

Here’s the link: Stereo Console Vintage Danish.

Vintage Zenith stereo console available in Columbia.  The original television has been replaced with a newer model, and the turntable needs a new belt.  Otherwise in good condition.

$200 in Columbia.

Paul McCobb Dining Set.  If you have $3000 to spend on a mid-century modern dining set, this one is slightly imperfect.  But Paul McCobb is a major name in mid-century modern design.  This isn’t the only expensive mid-century modern item I’ve found on Craigslist today, but I love it.

$3000 in Overland Park.  Here’s the link: Paul McCobb Dining Set.

Walnut Tiered Side Tables.  It’s hard to see what the design of these looks like, but the wood looks beautiful.

$150 in Liberty.  Here’s the link: Solid Walnut Tiered Side Tables.

China Cabinet.  Looks enormous, nice condition.

$177 in Overland Park.  Here’s the link: Display, China, or Book Case.

Phonograph.  I think it’s working.  Small and cute, plays 78s and LPs.

$40 in Overland Park.  Here’s the link: Vintage Phonograph.

Lamp.  Love the blue!  Working!

$15 in Drexel, Missouri (about an hour south of Kansas City).  Here’s the link: Floral Lamp.

Vintage television/radio console for $150 in Columbia on Craigslist this past weekend.  The wood is in good shape, but the radio/turntable do not work.  It’s listed as a Magnavox 254H American Modern upright radio.

I like the clean lines and the handles.

I’ve seen other people use these as television stands, and that might work as long as your TV isn’t too heavy.  Pop your DVD player & cable box on the shelves to the right, and you might have a plan!  Or maybe you could restore it.
