Living room table set -- two end tables (step tables, but they don't
have to have drawers like these); a corner table with a triangular step;
and a coffee table. Prefer rectangular to round. |
|
A couple of orange MCM upholstered accent chair, or the living room. |
|
Atomic lamps -- set of two for living room end tables. They don't have
to look exactly like this; I just want something ceramic, more or less cone-shaped,
with two-tiered fiberglass shades. |
|
Groovy wall clocks -- two or three, for different rooms. |
|
Atomic drapes, for living room and dining room windows. (Will get around
to posting dimension needed ... sooner or later.) |
|
A kinetic mobile (for indoors) and vintage wind chimes (for patio). |
|
A vintage console stereo with turntable and radio, from either the
50s, 60s, or 70s. |
|
A cool pole lamp. |
|
A Curtis Jere-esque metal wall sculpture. |
|
Paint by numbers paintings -- the flamingo and snowy egret set. Doesn't have to be actual paintings. If you know of prints made from the originals, or even some good jpgs online that can be printed (and matted and framed) that will do, too. It's the look I'm after, not necessarily authenticity. |
|
A reasonably priced, retractable or "pull down" ceiling light. (The
prices on some of these things on ebay will give you a heart attack.) |
|
Vintage electric can opener. We have one like the one depicted in the
inset. I hate it. It's the worse can opener we've ever had. I've learned
that vintage items often work better and last longer than contemporary
items. |
|
Vintage "Lincoln Beauty- ware" chrome breadbox, to match the canisters
and wrap dispenser I already have. |
|
A serving cart. A tea cart with glass shelves, or"woven" metal shelves like the top
one would be my first choice, but a Costco style cart would work, too.
If they need sanding and painting, no problem. If I get one with solid
shelves that are to be repainted, they will be done in a darkish olive
green with a gold starburst in the corner. (Thanks to the unknown person
on one of my MCM forums who posted a pic of the one she did, and inspired
me.) |
