Brutalist Bedroom Set Find on Craigslist

http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/fuo/3166703758.html

What a steal!!

According to Furnish Me Vintage this is a "Canadian made" bedroom set, designed in a brutalist style. $150 in the Seattle area. We love Brutalist- But already have enough furniture as it is.

Brasilia Defeat

Today was upsetting! The Brasilia gentleman's dresser on craigslist I talked about yesterday is not ours. As we were on our way to go pick it up this morning, I called the seller to tell her we were on our way and would be there soon. She said she was sorry, but she had many, many calls, and one of the callers informed her that it was worth MORE than $100, and subsequently offered her more for the dresser. I was bothered to say the least...

It seems like there's not really much of any code of ethics when it comes to Brasilia.

Anyway, instead of spending all day hauling around a dresser, we went thrift shopping again. And we found some really great things.... not as great as a Brasilia dresser... but some great things nonetheless.

1) a working percolator
2) Lane end table
3) super cool "London Lamps" lamp
4) mid century looking vase, unmarked

"London Lamps '59"

TTFN!

Craigslist Finds

I just came across this mid century dresser and hutch- They appear to be Broyhill, and the design on the dresser looks similar to Broyhill's "Emphasis" line, but the handles are different. (If anyone happens to know, please share in the comments!) $75 for the dresser. For someone in the Seattle area, this is a deal!
