San Diego: vintage retro chair - $30 (Mira Mesa)
I think this chair has a lot of potential. Reupholstered in a cool woven fabric it'd be so cute with those sexy legs!
San Diego: Mid Century Modern - Danish Hutch China Cabinet - $200 (San Carlos/Cowles Mtn)
When I came across this ad I had to do a double take as I thought it was my ad that I had just posted last night. Look at the blatant plagiarism of every word of a few of my sentences! I was trying to sell my piece like a salesman so rather than be offended someone stole my writing I guess I should take it as a compliment. Their china cabinet is quite nice and a good price for what looks like teak. I still love my new one a lot more. My new one is huge and massive and will hold so much stuff. I also love the granny antique-y look to mine and the parts where the finish is coming off give it character.
Vintage Pyrex
Since I have no home of my own that needs furnishing, I have just been day dreaming about our future house, or rather - torturing myself by combing CL ads for rentals and Mid-century modern furniture to furnish said imaginary house. It is so very frustrating though to see all this cool stuff that I just can't buy! I have even thought that if I came across something that was just too good to pass up and the price was right, then I would stash it in our storage space. But alas, that is already jam packed from floor to ceiling and there is no way we could fit even the smallest side table (well, maybe just one side table) and a coupla boxes.
Itching to buy something "vintage" for our future house that was easy to collect and store in our storage space, I came across this this Vintage Pyrex on CL and fell in love! I am already a bit of a Pyrex hoarding, as I already have a box of unopened bake-and-store Pyrex in our storage space. But "Vintage Pyrex" -- that is a whole new world that I have just discovered. There is even a cute website called Pyrex Love that is dedicated to Vintage Pyrex and it even has a list of all the Vintage Pyrex Patterns you might come across.
So while I enviously watch you all furnish your homes with beautiful Mid-century modern furniture, I'll be over here in the corner (sigh)... collecting my Vintage Pyrex and stashing it away in our storage space like an old hoarding Granny! I might as well work on my Owl Collection, too, while I'm add it!
San Diego Mid-century Modern Estate Sale
I love this buffet and dining table! The teal upholstery on the chairs really make it "pop"! I don't know how much they are asking, but apparently they are having an estate sale this Saturday at 5802 Rockhurst Court, San Diego, 92120 near SDSU and the upscale community of Del Cerro. It's on Saturday, 1/16, 7am till 2pm and 1/17, 7am till noon! ... If anyone is interested... hopefully they actually have this furniture there and not just posting pictures of cool stuff to get people to come...
San Diego: Antique Danish Modern table China Cabinet and more - $260 (Ocean Beach)
I had to buy this too. I guess this blog isn't foolproof as I've made a couple purchases today. Well, the hubby said it was ok and I have a feeling it's because he wants to buy this vintage 1976 foosball table that just came up on CL.
I'm planning to sell the other china cabinet I have instead if I don't find another use for it. I might try to use it as a bookcase in the hallway....
San Diego: Nice Cedar Hope Chest - $65 (Lemon Grove)
When I saw This I just couldn't resist. It was love at first sight. Those legs were too sexy for me to walk away without making the call. I think this will go great at the foot of our bed, but it won't hold blankets, it will hold our huge vinyl record collection. Our records have been sitting in the garage right now but they cannot stay there once it gets hot.
San Diego: Cool Bamboo Danish 9 drawer dresser side table $199.00 (FREE DELIVERY WITHIN 70 MILES )
I love how this company/person takes vintage furniture with cool, sleek lines and gives it a cool paint job. I'm assuming the furniture needed to be refinished anyway, so this breathes new life into a nice vintage piece. I would love this for my son's room but I'm at my limit for CL purchases right now. Someone should buy this. It's super cute!
San Diego: mid century modern dining table, 6 chairs, leaf excellent condition - $800 (South Park
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/fuo/1546332885.html
I'm only posting this to show the incredible difference you get in price on CL. This set is very similar to the one I just bought (for $175) and it doesn't even include the buffet. The wood looks darker and warmer and the upholstery is leather/pleather, while mine is a subtle floral granny looking fabric, which I happen to like a lot. I can't believe this person is trying to sell just the table and chairs for $800. While this a very cool looking set, it is way overpriced! It'll be interesting to see if someone actually buys this at this price.
San Diego: Patio set - $50 (Oceanside)
Please grant me the strength to not buy this set because we don't really need it. It's a steal for only $50! It wouldn't be hard to treat the wood with some teak oil and it'd be good as new.

San Diego: Scandinavian Teak Sideboard - $100 (Bay Ho)
Oh I love this piece! I already have my sideboard but it would go handsomely in someone's house

San Diego: Mid Century Lemon Wedge Kitchen Dinette - NOT REPLICA (Pacific Beach) $350
Love this piece. Wish I had the room for it. Here's the design dream for this piece: an Atomic Ranch house with huge picture windows looking out onto a fabulous mountain view. This dinette set would go nicely in the breakfast nook of said house. Another CL dream to be had by somebody somewhere. Anyone? Someone needs to buy it. Ultra hip, ultra cool. Word.
