Slowly coming together with some of my favorite finds.

Hey folks! Found these today on marketplace, they seem Rinaldi-ish but i cant identify the model. Anybody have any insight at all into these chairs? In rough shape but I think they’re awesome looking.

First pic was my bathroom when we bought the house. I want to work with the tile and keep it as well as the pink tub and sink. I am trying to distract from the pink and blue. My friends have nicknamed this the gender reveal bathroom. The second picture is the current bathroom. We thought color drenching blue might work but the shade is all wrong. The last picture is a mock up I made using a color palette I saw on Pinterest and that was very disliked by people in a group I posted it in. I’m at such a loss… I would love suggestions!!!

My style is post modern

We loved the floor tile but we bought a lil paint and new shower curtain just to try to make the red tile make more sense. The counter is still very pink and we don’t have the capacity to change that currently. The first picture is before we moved in.

Option 1:

Pros: my favourite, the shelves are modular (each unit is made out of 3 sections), wood grain looks good, seems like the highest quality

Cons: very hard to find these specific shelves (picture is from a real estate listing; I've seen them pop up for sale two or three times in the past year in cities too far away), might need to anchor them to the wall

Option 2:

Pros: each unit stands on its own on the floor, I can get them for a very low price

Cons: uglier than Option 1, kinda cheap looking, grain a bit too dark, wood veneer over particle board so lower quality

Option 3:

Pros: I love the handles, wood tone is the best

Cons: not in a particularly good condition, not a lot of actual space for books

What do you think?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your answers! You've convinced me to wait and see if I can find the shelves from 1.

I got this Chair from an estate auction today for $37. I’m not looking to resell it or anything. I just want to know more about it. The legs appear old, but I’m not sure if the upholstery is modern. There are no identification marks on it and Google Lens was not a big help. If anybody has any idea of the maker, I would appreciate it! Once I clean it up, it’s going to be an awesome addition to my mid-century office!

Just wanted to post my home office I’ve been working on these last few months.

Almost everything is found on Facebook Marketplace except the ceiling light and cat painting.

Still trying to find a good floor lamp to put in the corner.

The tub is worn, and we want a shower so are considering new alcove with white base, white solid panel side, and frameless glass shower doors. Keeping pink tile on walls and vanity area for now. Perhaps more neutral counter and sinks later. Replace floor with light neutral terrazzo tile with minimal grout lines. Finally, to remove soffit over tub so as to raise shower head and add lighting. No wall paper.

This is very similar to a Carimate chair, just a slight difference where the legs meet the body. And of course the cut outs in the arms. Any idea who made this?

Not sure if this is vintage or modern. This is a 9 drawer lowboy dresser, dark warm wood. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

- dovetail drawers
- integrated pulls on the top 3 drawers and gold/brass pulls on the rest
- drawers are not on metal tracks but are wood on wood runners
- faint stamp/black text in the top left drawer but it’s impossible to make out
- no back panel?
- not sure if top is veneer

Picked up this lamp yesterday for $250. I haven’t fully searched it for any makers marks or tags, but did notice the globe had a made in Poland sticker inside, which I think narrows it down to an American company from what I’ve read. Maybe a Laurel Lamp CO or Sonneman? Did not see another one with the lower bulbs on it like this one while I was looking it up. Not sure where it’s going to go quite yet.

Hello,

I picked this up from an estate sale marketplace listing and am wondering if it’s MCM. It’s veneer on particle board 74” long, 17, deep and 60” tall. There’s a stamp on the back of the upper shelving that says STM-66 Made in Denmark and STM-65 on the sideboard portion, but no other identifying info.

Hey everyone! My husband and I picked up this gorgeous 60s MCM couch for a steal yesterday ❤️ it’s a custom RUBEE sofa lounge and for the most part it’s been kept overall clean. However we wanna polish up the brass/gold painted bits, only problem is we don’t know the best cleaning solution that won’t peel/ruin the paint. We were hoping one of you fine folks might give us some insight! Thanks in advance!

My friend spotted this oak credenza at Value Village and asked if I wanted him to pick it up for me as a restoration project. It was missing doors and was in pretty rough shape with peeling veneer, scratches all over and water stains, so I wasn't sure at first but I decided it would be a fun challenge to try to fix it up.

I stripped the whole thing down to bare wood, sanded it with my orbital sander, and put on an oil finish. For the doors I used some white oak plywood that I cut to size, and I used handles from a donor dresser I found on Facebook Marketplace for $10. The whole process took about a week spread over a few weekends.

It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I wasn't a fan of the glossy lighter finish so I'm glad I was able to tone it down.

If you want to see the full process I also recorded the whole thing and made a YouTube video!

Spotted this one road side and had to bang a u-ey to get back to it. Unsure what it may be, but I thought better to grab than let a trash truck smash it. Thoughts? Can not find any marking.

I'm a huge fan of midcentury modern furniture and have just got the keys to a new place when I stumbled upon this beautiful room divider in my local charity shop for £25!!!
