Pink Formica Table and 4 Chairs.  Pink!  I’m not the kind of girl who buys everything in pink, but when it comes to vintage stuff, pink is perfect.  I love these!  Look at the detail on the chairs and how the mottled fabric color matches the top of the table.  The seller says the table is in good condition, but the chairs need some minor repairs.  Love it!  I love those hairpin legs, too.  Just love all around for this set.

$150 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Pink Formica Table and 4 Chairs.

Wurlitzer Model 3000 Jukebox.  Oh, we all want a jukebox, right?  The seller says it’s in excellent condition and that you can choose 500 records out of their collection of 1000 45 RPM records to go with this jukebox at the asking price.  But then you have to move it yourself.

$1500 in Mexico, Missouri.  Here’s the link: 1960s Wurlitzer Model 3000 Jukebox.

Vintage GE Electric Oven/Range.  Working condition but needs a power cord.  Hmm.

$50 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage GE Electric Stove/Range.

Vintage 50′s Hotpoint Fridge.  Working condition with no seal issues.  Has all the original pieces- shelves, racks, etc.

$200 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage 50′s Hotpoint Fridge.

Retro Vintage Yellow Vinyl Chair.  I think we’ve seen this one before, but if not, you could have a set (if you bought the other one).  Or you get a second chance on a yellow vinyl chair!  You know I love that yellow vinyl.  (Sigh, yellow vinyl bar!)

$80 (no location listed).  Here’s the link: Retro Vintage Yellow Vinyl Chair.

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.

On Fridays, I’m going to do a round-up of stuff from the St. Louis & Kansas City Craigslist postings from the last day or two.  Columbia is just two hours from either of these large cities, both of which have a lot to offer as far as mid-century furnishings.  I’ve been debating whether to regularly scour these listings or not, but I think I’ve determined to only do this on Fridays, because what better way to spend your weekend than in the car on an impromptu road trip to pick up something great?

What up, Kansas City?

This Danish Modern side chair is $65 and looks like it’s in good condition.

Vintage 1950s steel desk for $50 in Olathe.  I love the tiered design!

I’m loving this bright yellow chair with its nice lines.  $75 in Independence.

A vintage Steelcase-style desk chair.  The seller lists it as 80s-style, but it’s based on a 60s Knoll design.  I’m not sure if it’s missing an armrest on its right arm or if it’s just a trick of the light/bad photo, but hey, $10!

I saw a couple of chrome tables like this one today.  This is $100, which is about average price for a vintage 50s Formica-topped chrome kitchen table in our area.  Looks like it’s in nice condition.  I would hold out for one with matching vinyl chairs- they’re much harder to find, especially if the seats & backs aren’t ripped up.  I’ve seen a few this summer on Craigslist in Columbia, so maybe keep an eye out.  Or I’ll do it for you!
