Rosewood Side Table, Johansfors Bowl, Blenko Candle Holders, and Kjeni Teak Tray

The rosewood table started as a wall unit cabinet. I purchased it (and some other pieces) for $15. It didn't have the wall brackets so I improvised by adding hairpin legs. The bowl was $3, Tray $2, and Blenkos were also $2.

Russel Wright for Bauer

I saw this on the bottom shelf at Goodwill. I thought ...huh, that glaze looks like RW.  Turned it over and sure enough, its a piece of Bauer art pottery designed by Russel Right. I think it was $2.99.

Upsala Slojd Teak Tray by Jonny Mattsson

I knew this was a steal as soon no matter what is was marked in Goodwill. A solid teak tray made from a single plank of teak is pretty rare. I turned it over, made in Sweden, and it was marked $0.99! Went home, and did some research. It was an excellent purchase!

Herman Miller Time Life by Eames

I purchased this at an expensive furniture store as part of their antiques line. It was in their clearance room and I negotiated like a pro get it for a fair price. I really wanted this chair and they seem to be rarer than unicorns in New England.
