Mid-Century Monday: Credenzas

I think one of my favorite pieces of furniture is a credenza.  Its a great place for storage and also the perfect place to display all your favorite things!  I have been looking all over the Twin Cities and have yet to find one in my price range.  There is a local vintage store that I follow on Facebook called Golden Age Design that has found some on the side of the road in perfect condition!  Why would you put a beautiful piece of furniture like this on the side of the road to go to the dump?!  That makes me cry!  It really makes me want to drive through every neighborhood in the metro area and try to find my own.  That would be hilarious if I found one, because the only people I would have with me are my two daughters that are both under 3.  I would have to stake the place out until my husband was able to get there and help!  It would so be worth it.  I am in love with the first one.  Teak is such a lovely color of wood!  Which is your favorite?

Mid-Century Monday: Sofas

I've been browsing around the internet lately looking for a new couch.  My dog has taken over the love seat and it is pretty much ruined.  I would love to get a real mid century couch, so then there's no way my husband would let the dog on it.  Money here is pretty tight right now so I'll just keep swooning over all these pretty places to sit.

I love that 60s green plaid couch.  It was actually for sell in Minneapolis for $375.  Not too much, but still couldn't convince the husband.  But too late now, cause someone bought it! Ugh!  Oh well.  I'm learning the Twin Cities has a pretty awesome selection for vintage items, so I'll be able to get my couch one day!  Which is your favorite?

Mid-Century Monday: Fire King

I have always had a warm place in my heart for mid-century pieces, but the past couple of months it has really started growing.  All I do online now is look for estate sales in my area, try to find cheap vintage furniture online, or browse through the endless websites that deal with anything from that era.  
I had heard of (and now obsessed with finding all golden harvest pieces!) Pyrex, but through my endless internet browsing sessions, I have discovered the wonderful world of Fire King. 

I can't believe I never heard of Fire King until recently!  Sigh.  So beautiful.  I looove vintage kitchenware. Its like porn for me.  And finding those hidden pieces in thrift stores is like sex.  Please tell me I'm not the only one!


Anyone else out there into kitchenwares?  Do you know of any other brands that I would love?
