Retro CoMO

Yellow Rocker.  Really cool with that side detail!  I like it.  The upholstery looks like it’s in good shape, and all the buttons seem to be included.  Nice.

$65 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 1950’s Yellow Rocker.

Cedar Chest.  I’ve seen a few of these come up with the mid-century detailing.  It’s nice to have a cedar chest for blankets and wool clothes.  I love the cedar smell.

$85 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Lane Blonde Cedar Chest.

Blonde Chairs.  3 chairs- two without arms and one with arms (I like it when they call them Captain’s Chairs).   Nice upholstery, I think.

$45 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Blonde Chairs.

Vintage Chairs.  Two of them, and the seller says they’re in good shape.  I like the vinyl lace design.  These would be nice for a kitchen.  I’m sure that’s where they’re from.

$35 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 2 Vintage Chairs.

Take a road trip on this pretty fall weekend, and get something new and cool in Kansas City.

Tiered End Tables.

$25 in South Kansas City.  Here’s the link: 1950’s Retro Blonde End Tables.

Black Cattail Lamp.  Has a problem with the switch, so it might not work correctly.

$10 in Prairie Village.  Here’s the link: Retro 1950s Cattail Table Lamp.

Orange Leather Rocker.  Delivery is available.

$70 in Overland Park.  Here’s the link: Orange Leather Rocker.

Floor Lamp.  That’s a pretty cool looking fiberglass shade.  I don’t know if it’s working or not.

$25 in South Kansas City.  Here’s the link: Electric Lamp.

Iroquois Dishes.  I like this style and I think it might be a good price even though it’s not complete and some of the dishes have cracks.

$15 in Overland Park.  Here’s the link: Everyday Dishes.

Small Steel Desk.  You don’t have to get a full-sized tanker desk to have the industrial style.  This would probably be great in a kitchen or entryway.

$25 in Basehor.  Here’s the link: Small Steel Desk.

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.
