Danish Dining Set.  Complete set includes table with 3 leaves (and protective pads for the top), 6 side chairs, 2 arm chairs, hutch, and buffet.  Probably very nice condition.  The price still seems a little high, though.  More pictures on the ad.

$500 in Boonville.  Here’s the link: Complete dining set.

Modern Executive Desk.  This looks enormous, and unless it comes apart, it will probably be a real pain to move it.  But it sure looks cool from what I can tell in the pictures.  It would probably fit well in your office along one wall, and I’m sure it could handle both computer and television.  Or, you know, you could actually use it as a desk.  Plus the price is awesome.

$20 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Large Solid Oak Heavy Desk.

Blue Chair.  I like this one a lot, and I almost considered calling about it for my own house, but I don’t think the color will work for me.  I love the lines, though, and the seller says that it’s in perfect condition.

$20 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Blue Chair.

Vintage Couch.  More of that gold/green!  Seller doesn’t list condition.

$50 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Couch.

Everyone must be spring cleaning!  A whole lot of neat vintage stuff appeared on Craigslist over the weekend.

Heywood Wakefield Dresser with mirror.  The seller emailed me personally so I am listing this one at the top.  Good condition.

$500 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Heywood Wakefield dresser.

Kitchen Table and 4 Chairs.  We see a lot of vintage Formica tables on Craigslist, and this is an earlier example of the style.  I’ve seen this type before, but rarely in red!  And it comes with four vinyl/chrome chairs.  The seller says that three of the chairs are in perfect shape and one is not, but that might work for you if you want to put this table up against a wall in your kitchen!

$100 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Retro Dinette Table.

Swivel Chair.  Wow!  What style!  I love that tulip/Eames base.  I am certain that this has been reupholstered, but I think it looks pretty good.  Seller says the chair was made in Switzerland.

$65 in Southwest Columbia.  Here’s the link: Euro Swivel Chair.

White Danish Chair.  This one is pretty stylish too.  Check out the link for the other picture- I decided to highlight the fabric rather than the shape, but both look like they’re in excellent condition.  Cream vinyl fabric, no major damage.

$25 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Retro Chair from 60s.

Student Desk.  A bit scratched up, but it has a nice shape.  My grandparents had some school desks in the basement, and we loved playing at them when we were little.

$10 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Student Desk.

Orange Chair.  Somewhere between vintage modern and pub style.

$30 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Funky Orange Chair.

Yellow Bar Chair.  Yellow vinyl and white metal.  A little pricey compared to today’s other offerings, but honestly I think a lot of the other stuff above is priced way too low!

$70 (no location listed).  Here’s the link: Vintage Mod Yellow Chair.

Round-up of items on our local Craigslists this week.

Heavy wood office desk.

$75 in Columbia. Here’s the link: Office desk.

Yellow Formica Table.

$50 in Jefferson City. Here’s the link: Vintage Formica Kitchen Table.

Formica Table and Green Chairs. We’ve seen a few sets with these more 70s style vinyl chairs lately. I’m loving them, and the detail on the tabletop.

$50 in Eldon. Here’s the link: Retro Dining Table & Chairs.

A green brocade sofa and two beige & gold brocade chairs are available in Jefferson City.  I think this style is Hollywood Regency, and it looks pretty cool with mid-century modern pieces.  Nice!

$75 for the sofa and $50 each for the chairs in Jefferson City.

Here’s the link: Sofa and 2 chairs.

I am home from a weekend out of town!  I got to visit an awesome vintage store in Springfield, Missouri.  I took a bunch of photos and I look forward to posting them with a review later this week.

In the meantime, I’ll round up a few items from local Craigslists from the long weekend.

Thonet Bentwood Rocking Chair!  Talk about vintage 1970 style.  It’s a statement to have one of these in your vintage home.

$150 in Lake Ozark (south of Osage Beach).  Here’s the link: Bentwood Rocker (on the Lake of the Ozarks Craigslist).

Vintage Steel Desks.  The seller has several of these and a bunch of industrial metal filing cabinets.

$50 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Metal Office Desk.  (And here’s a link to the post about the filing cabinets.)

Flexsteel Rocker Recliners.  We’re all about the 1970s today at Retro CoMO!  These would warm up your home this fall with the comfortable rocking/reclining action and the burnt orange color.  I can’t tell what shape the upholstery is in, but it doesn’t look like it’s ripped up.

$20 in West Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Flexsteel Rockers/Recliners.

Vintage Hutch/Display Cabinet.  Perfect for your dining room to display your collection of vintage Pyrex.  Looks like it is in nice condition, maple wood, with handles intact.  Are the door handles star-shaped?  I can’t quite tell and wish that Craigslist photography would improve overall.

$75 in New Bloomfield.  Here’s the link: Display Cabinet.

Vintage Chair.  This one looks like it needs some love.  That armrest is not actually attached to the chair (the guy is holding it on) and the upholstery needs to be redone, but I bet it would not be too difficult to reupholster this yourself since it has straight edges, more or less.  But what do I know?  I am very good about telling you about all these projects that you could do, and very bad about doing them myself.  It’s the enabler in me.  Still, it’s only $15.

$15 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Chair.
