Retro CoMO

Brown Leather Swivel Chair.  Nice condition.

$15 in Lenexa.  Here’s the link: Vintage Mid-Century Modern Chair.

Naugahyde Couch.  Made from the hide of the great American Nauga.  It is probably in better shape than it looks, though the color is tricky.  Still, the price is nice.

$25 in Kansas City.  Here’s the link: Naugahyde Couch.

Barrel Chairs.  Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.  With the diamond pattern?  And the whiskey barrel shape?  And there are four of them?  They come with some kind of game table.  They belong in your rec room.  You would have all sorts of parties with these.  They are that kind of awesome.  Invite me over to lose at a poker game, and maybe you’ll earn enough off me to offset the steep price here.

$350 in Mission, KS.  Here’s the link: Retro Whiskey Barrel Chairs.

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.

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.

This was posted on late Friday afternoon, so I don’t know if it’s still available.

Giant modern couch!  $50 OBO!  In Columbia, on West Broadway.

I’m not sure I can determine the age of this couch.  Looks like tapered legs but the fabric pattern seems pretty 70s to me.  Those arms are fat, but the rest of it is very streamlined.  Looks like it comes with matching bolster pillows.  Interesting!

The thing about these sofas is that they are often long, longer than normal couches today.  If you’re a tall person (or if you have a tall person hanging around your house sometimes), you might find that you can lie down on one of these comfortably.  On the other hand, they sometimes feel less solid than newer couches, in case you are not just a tall person but also a wide person.  This couch, however, looks like it might be more substantial with those thicker arms.
