I'm the only person I know in my age group (I'm 22) that gets excited about thrift stores and estate sales. I'm always on the lookout for new pieces to accessorize my 1957 ranch with, and quite frankly I am running out of room. It's my dream to open up a vintage shop in the future because I don't see myself ever quitting the hunt. (Read more)

  1. Thanks AmberRose! I like it too!
  2. Thanks!
  3. Yes I understood. Once I have the chair I can offer more photos and answer questions about details better.
  4. I do not know. Once I pick up the chair I will ask them.
  5. I spoke with Modern Drama in Chicago and they confirmed this is Baughman. Most likely very early Baughman.
  6. Well I like it, but I only want to dish out the cash for it if it is worth what they are asking you know?
  7. I don't know. Those chairs are similar but surely someone out there knows something about these. :)
  8. Designed in 1952.
  9. It appears to be the Round Series Lounge Chair by Nanna Ditzel. Featured in the Spring 2012 issue of Atomic Ranch Magazine. "The Round Chair, an immensely capacious yet shallow-seated lounge, doubles ...
  10. Gorgeous!
  11. I love vintage Dansk pieces! Especially the candelabras. Scored 2 at an estate sale recently along with boxes and boxes of the tiny tapers that fit them. This is really beautiful BELLIN68. Teak is suc...
  12. I'm glad you love them. Visit facebook.com/madstylevintage
  13. The woman I purchased the chairs from told me she'd had them reupholstered, but with fabric very close to the original. I'm not sure they were this color originally. These chairs are from the 1950s, a...
  14. Thanks BELLIN68
  15. I meant to mention that the filing cabinet came with several boxes of original labels that are the same brand as the cabinet. The packaging has really cool 1970s graphics. Will post pics soon.
  16. you're right. I do enjoy that. That is definitely something special. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Haha right... I saw a girl just a bit older than me at one this morning and was like.. "What do you think you're doing?" Lol
  18. You really think Midland/Odessa has that stuff? That's where I grew up. I passed up a couple fedoras at an estate sale this morning. They were just a bit too right on my head. :/
  19. You* not I on that previous comment. Lol
  20. I see you collect vintage menswear. I don't see too much of that around. Stinks because I would love to wear vintage clothes to the shop.
  21. Well it definitely time I say hi to your grandparents! After Marh of course. Lol
  22. Sounds great! What a small world. We should be up and running by March. If you see me there be sure and introduce yourself! :)
  23. Yes the color is fantastic. Looks wonderful in my house. I have three and I probably don't need that many Hunter, so keep an eye out for them at Facebook.com/madstylevintage
  24. Well according to lovethatvintage this was purchased when her husband started his business in 1978.
  25. Very pretty. Have y'all ever seen Portlandia? "Put a bird on it!". Lol. I really hope someone gets the reference. :)
  26. Thanks vetraio50. I know what you mean AmberRose. Sometimes I've got to be really careful not to knock down the elderly crowds at the estate sales. Lol.
  27. The brand is TAB.
  28. Thanks BELLIN68. I'm loving them as well.
  29. I love just about anything mid-century and orange!
  30. I do too. Wonderful design. I love things that are both functional and artistic. The chairs are so beautiful and surprisingly so comfortable. I'm sure they will sell quickly when the shop opens. :)
  31. Thank you! We are ready to open right now but the building we were going to be in fell through. Real estate in downtown San Angelo is hard to come by. We only have one other prospective building right...
  32. LOVE THIS! I've been on the hunt for a unique mid-century wine rack for about a year and absolutely cannot find one...Maybe wine just wasn't a big thing is west Texas in the 1950s and 60s... lol
  33. A fiberglass shade is probably your best bet. I think a tall tube shaped one would look awesome. Maybe even one that is the woven wicker type shade...
  34. Love this! I have a pair of solingen chrome candlesticks that look like little rockets. They say Solingen on the bottom and that they were made in Germany.
  35. Yes it is a color tv. It say New Vista Color.
  36. Yes, and the sculptured walnut base plays perfectly with the Broyhill Brasilia pieces in the dining room just a few feet away.
  37. I thought it was cool too! I couldn't believe nobody hadn't already snatched it up! Anyone have an idea who I might talk to about value?
  38. Thanks. Glad you are enjoying them
  39. Cool thanks for the help. I picked this one up for $15 and thought I was getting a deal just because of how big it is. Haven't decided whether I can part with it or not because orange is one of my col...
  40. oh man I want one of these
  41. Very cool. I have the print of the picture that is on the cover. Picked it up at a local estate sale and decorated my bedroom around it.
  42. Thanks for the welcome
  43. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL pieces. I also love mid-century modern and live in San Angelo. If all goes to plan, I would like to get a shop going downtown soon. All depends on whether I can find interested ve...
  44. that is BEAUTIFUL
  45. I love those sculptured bases. Do you think they are walnut? They look like they would fit right in with Adrian Pearsall pieces. I would definitely reupholster them in orange vinyl but then again oran...
  46. this looks like one that was designed to sit in a stand. I have a few of the stands that pots of a similar shape were designed for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Imperial-USA-Planter-Stand-with-9-Pots-Ne...
  47. The real question is what is that fantastic dining table under there? Are those drop leaves? Very cool details.
  48. Appears to be a part of the Planner Group by Paul McCobb. Moderately valuable pieces when in good condition. I never understand why people paint over such beautiful woodgrains.
    49. See more
