My recent orange-crackle lamp and sunburst clock scores, sent me down a rabbit hole of redecorating my office in a mid-century modern-inspired look.
I'm working on finding a short 2 or 3 tier shelf or a small table for the wall on the right to decorate with some plants and maybe get the awards and random things out of the windows, and then I want to get some art for both walls.
Any other suggestions?
I just snagged these 2 starburst clocks from marketplace for $70 and I’m so excited to put one of them up in my office.
No idea if they work or not, but I don’t really care too much either way.
The Elgin is a pretty easy one to ID, but I’ve come up empty so far on the other one.
The 2nd one is molded plastic, but definitely vintage based on the flat head fasteners and patina on the back side. It has a newer replacement movement though, so hands and possibly the face could be replacements as well.
**UPDATE**
Plastic Clock: I cleaned up the battery tray, put a new AA in it, and it is currently spinning away on my office wall. I'm fairly certain the hands are replacements and possibly the face as well. The face looks almost too nice compared to the back side of the clock.
Elgin: Threw a new D battery in it this morning, switched it on, and it started ticking away immediately. This one appears to be completely original from what I've looked over so far. I plan to start with giving it a good cleaning this weekend.
I just picked up this pair of lamps on marketplace to use in my office at work.
There are no labels or manufacturer info anywhere on them, but the seller said they've been in his mother's house since probably the 50s or 60s.
Appears to have the original matching shades, and the cords look to be original as well.
Anyone have any more info on these, like year, manufacturer, etc.?
I love the color and can't wait to get them set up in my office.
