Retro CoMO

Danish Modern china cabinet available in Columbia.  It’s hard to tell what the condition is, but the price isn’t bad.  Available at a local thrift shop, which may even have delivery if you’re lucky.

$100 in Columbia (Millersburg exit).  Here’s the link: China Cabinet.

It might be bitterly cold through Saturday, but temperatures on Sunday should rise to a balmy high in the mid-20s.  What should you do with such a warm weekend day?  You should drive to St. Louis and pick up your new gold sofa!

Gold Sofa.  Okay, so $800.  But it’s gold.  And you have always wanted a gold sofa.

$800 in St. Louis.  Here’s the link: Retro Sofa.

Storage Unit/End Table.  They suggest that it could be used as a TV stand, but that would depend on the size and age of your current TV, I think.  Make sure it can support it, especially if you have other equipment too.  But it’s cute and I like the detail.

$50 in the Warrenton/O’Fallon/Wentzville area.  Here’s the link: 1950s Vintage Wood TV Stand.

Matching Loveseats.  Kidney shaped in orange velour.  What are you waiting for?  Honestly, these look pretty comfortable.  I’m not sure I understand the best way to arrange them, but it looks like the other piece is a corner piece.  The price seems high, but if the fabric is in good shape, it might be worth it.  It costs a lot to get a couch reupholstered (and I speak from experience).

$300 in O’Fallon.  Here’s the link: Mid century modern love seats.

Dresser.  This looks smaller in the picture than I think it is in real life (the seller lists the height at 42″) and I love the detail despite the fact that the veneer is a little beat-up.

$125 in Fenton.  Here’s the link: Retro Dresser.

Sofa Set.  I love this type of set- it’s so cute.  The seller has repaired some of the cat scratch damage.

$200 in St. Louis City.  Here’s the link: Mid-Century Long and Low Sofa and Loveseat Set.

Danish Modern Sofa.  I love this, too.  The upholstery is in nice shape and I like that striped blue color that is typical of this era.  Nice.

$225 in Illinois (suburbs, I assume).  Here’s the link: Retro Danish Sofa.

Danish modern highboy dresser available in Columbia for $45.

Looks like nice clean lines and tapered legs.  It’s available at Hardt’s Used Furniture, a store on Business Loop 70 in Columbia.  It is unusual to see Danish modern at any of the area used furniture stores- they mostly deal with 80s and 90s country and rustic style, and a little bit of shabby chic.

Anyway, bonus!  The fact that it’s available at a storefront means that you can take a look at its condition before you buy it, and you can stop by anytime during business hours.

Here’s the link: Chest.

How you doing, St Louis?

King-size Danish modern headboard, $75 in Highland, Illinois (on the far outskirts of the eastern St. Louis suburbs).

What did I just tell you?  Wait it out for the chrome table with the matching vinyl chairs, because they’re out there.  Looks like these have been upholstered.  $150 for all!  Looks like the same seller as the one above, same location in Highland, IL.  Still, I just had to point out this out.

I’ve seen this one posted a couple of times, so though this posting is a few days old, it might be worth trying.  $135 for armchair and ottoman in an early 70s design.  In St. Louis.

Poorly photographed, but $65 for this sixties-style dinette table & chair set in the Overland area of St. Louis.  The top is laminate, but I like the Danish lines and detail, and that’s a pretty good price.

Two Lane Acclaim tables for $135 in St. Louis with the inlaid wood feature, tiered tops, and tapered legs.  That’s pricey for what is clearly rough condition, but they might clean up pretty well without a total refinish (I’d try Restor-A-Finish before you go all the way with it), and they are solid wood.
