Retro CoMO

Dresser.  This looks similar to the credenza that I bought to use as a TV stand and media cabinet.  I love it.  I paid a lot more than this, though.  This one looks like it’s in good shape.  I love the detail of the drawer pulls, and that it doesn’t look too much like bedroom furniture.  You could certainly use it for bedroom furniture, though.  Seller is offering delivery if you’re near the MU campus.

$40 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Brown dresser.

Bedroom Set.  I like this style with those feet and the wood design.  I’m not clear about the condition of these, but it’s nice to get a set like this.  Includes one nightstand, a vanity with mirror, and a chest of drawers.

$200 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Chest of Drawers, Vanity and Nightstand.

Dresser.  Another dresser!  But more tapered feet and a little bit of pattern going on there.  I like it.  It’s probably been painted.  You could keep it, repaint it, or strip it down and see what’s under there.

$75 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Dresser.

Green Vintage Chair.  Looks like a nice vintage modern club chair.  I like the color and the design on the vinyl (I’m guessing that’s vinyl).  The price is nice too.

$60 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Green Vintage Chair.

Heywood Wakefield Bedroom Suite.  Seller says that the dresser is in mint condition and the other pieces need some work.  A dresser, vanity (without mirror), headboard (looks like a twin size), and an end table are included, which means this is actually a reasonable deal.  Except that I am not convinced that that little end table/nightstand is true HeyWake.  I am searching for it and no dice so far.

$850 in Harrisburg (about forty-five minutes northwest of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Art Deco 4 pieces Bedroom Suite.

Couch.  This looks vintage to me with that tufting in the back, and the seller says it is in good condition with no rips or stains or smells.  But it looks like there is some wear.  I like it, but of course this is the only photo provided.  It might not be that great from another angle.  Check it out in person.

$30 in Mexico, Missouri (about forty-five minutes northeast of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Couch.

Heywood-Wakefield Desk.  Don’t cry.  Please don’t cry.  I know, someone painted a Heywood-Wakefield desk.  Not just painted, but PAINTED.  My mother would refer to this color as Thunder Blue.  A lot of atrocities are committed with Thunder Blue paint, I have to say.  Seller says you can strip it.  You can strip it, but at this price it’s not much of a deal.  Unless you’re handy like that, and you don’t cry easily.

$350 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Heywood Wakefield Antique Wooden Desk.

Waterfall Bedroom Set.  I know these aren’t really modern at all, but art deco-ish, but I have a thing for them.  Something about the giant round mirrors seems so glamorous.  Includes vanity, dresser, and bed frame.  I assume the bench as well?  You better ask.

$250 in Carrollton.  Here’s the link: Bedroom set.

Wicker Fan Chair.  This is a deal!  If you buy this, you must send me a picture of you posing in it in a pink floaty organza dress and floppy hat.  I expect it!  Later it will be a good place for you to drape clothes and pile shoes.

$7 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Wicker Chair.

Retro Dining Set.  Blond retro drop leaf table with six chairs, two piece hutch, and lighted dry bar.  Seller says it’s in great shape.  I love the style.  I want a dry bar.  Don’t we all?

$595 in Perry, Missouri (north of Mexico, about 1.5 hours from Columbia).  Here’s the link: Retro Dining Set.
