Jumped at this so quickly it was posted a day ago and picked it up this morning. It has some wear and the legs are a bit wobbly but what a solid piece. Yay!!!

This caught my eye as GW was closing.

Hi all, I was wondering where you would recommend selling this pair of bitossi lamps?

I found this lamp at a thrift store today for $7.99. Google lens tells me it’s worth something. I don’t know if it’s teak or walnut. I would like to know what I can do to treat the wood. I am in Denver where it’s very dry. Also, do you have any ideas about value? The wiring is very old. Should I replace it?

Bought this light from practical props and part of me thinks it’s fine, the other thinks it’s too big. What do you guys think?

Edit: it doesn’t have a dimmer 😭

people been posting grapes. these are grandma's OG grapes, from her blue bathroom to mine.

the wall hangings were so unique, i just had to have

Hi all! I saw a desk that is being listed as a Lane Acclaim series for $450. However, it has a few features that I have never seen on a desk from the line. Specifically:

- Slats along side of desk.
- Raised ridge by base of leg (level with bottom of desk).
- Odd pattern on desktop (reminds me of those awful vinyl desktops in school) when I am used to the beautiful wooden joinery pattern.

Have you seen anything similar on authentic Lane furniture? Could this be from a different line that I am not aware of? Thanks!

Excited about this funky swivel rocker find I made on FB marketplace. My plucked chicken of a cat Aja has decided that it is a welcome addition for sun bathing. More of Aja at @oddeyeaja

I broke my rule of only purchasing things that need work/thrifted. When I saw this I just absolutely had to have it. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I’ve ever laid my eyes on and haven’t seen anything quite like it. I paid $950 usd which also makes it by far the most expensive piece I’ve ever purchased. The seller did a fantastic job on the refinish and we are both thinking Danish but sadly the remnants of the tag are illegible. So glad to have found it!

I found these chairs, and I almost got to a deal. What should be things I should look out for when buying these?
What would be a fair price for the set?

Recently painted, got a bed frame and a few marketplace finds (dresser/lane chest/mirror). I know I need art but I’m stuck on what to get and placement. Any suggestions on what to put over the bed and fireplace? The hanging light over the fire place will be replaced with a new light (also still deciding). I have a chair and new bedding on the way. I want a rug but can’t make up my mind on what looks best. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like someone else has posted a set here before!

It's location was at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway & MacArthur Boulevard in Corona del Mar, California. It opened in 1951 & featured a dramatic cantilevered roof & a tall, tapered pylon sign typical of the Space Age aesthetic, I hope all that didn't sound too AI-ish for all you snowflakes ❄❄🥶❄❄ out there.

A signature horseshoe-shaped counter with chrome-rimmed stools occupied the central space & the dining area was filled with Formica tabletops with booths upholstered in bright orange naugahyde.

The original building was demolished in the early 1970s. Today, the site is part of the Corona del Mar Plaza shopping center

My partner and I are in the preliminary stages of fixing up this 1963 ranch thats been in his family and hasn’t been touched or lived in for years. What are your thoughts on this custom gate thing that separates the two main living areas? There’s a lot of mid century charm here but we want to know why they put it here and if it was common lol please excuse the mess, like I said, has not been touched in years.

Wife picked up this super cool chair off of Marketplace today. Tag says Murphy Miller Chair Company - Owensboro, KY. There’s also a Commonwealth of PA tax stamp attached to the tag. It’s not perfect, has a few areas where the piping needs tightened up, but I’m not complaining for $50. I’d say the Mrs. did a good job.

Any ideas on year? Or anything else about this particular chair?
