Craigslist Furniture Obsession
Hours of searching on Craigslist uncovered this pair of chests: a reward of my Craigslist furniture obsession. Beautiful midcentury modern pieces with white mica tops. I’ve always associated “mid century modern” with the furniture in my grandparent’s lake house — dated, not very comfortable and not very cool. Funny that we now have a table and chests and I never would have anticipated how clean they look in our space. The other picture is of our Rico lamp in action with the orange tree bought in Chinatown. The apartment is starting to come together (although what the photos don’t show is the complete lack of organization everywhere else in the apartment (still no bookcases, filling cabinets, sofa, dinning chairs or place to hang/store our coats).

Abbey,
The apartment furniture looks wonderful!Are the chests to go with your desk for storage or are they in the bedroom for clothes? The orange tree looks bountiful, I am so jealous I can’t find any down here. We went to the auction and decided that the table was too dark. You picture did not look very good so we did not stay.We found a landscape gardener that is going to help us with the bank and now Dad is all excited about planting a formal garden in the back of the house and screening out the neighbors.We realize that we have a lot to work with and we are looking forward to lots of gardening time. Dad has also decided to go antique in the dining room.
