SCORE: Bostlund Lotte lamp Model 900

WOOO! So excited to find this Bostlund Lotte lamp. I love their designs. They are so clean and timeless. I was in a thrift store, bee lining way to the bathroom, when I saw it. My normal moto is grab it first, decide later. This time natured called. I quickly did my business, ran out, and snatched it. It was stressful. Things get nabbed quickly in thrift shops.

Pair of Studio Pottery Lamps



It is hard to find a vintage pair of lamps, let alone a vintage pair of studio pottery lamps. These are in the danish modern style. They are signed but the glaze has dripped over the signature making it hard to read. They  are a handsome set. From the Salvation Army

Curbside Pickup: 1960s Steelcase Seating


I was driving down a long country road. As I pass the town's firehouse I see a Knoll-ish coffee out of the corner of my eye. I turn around and check it out. There was a large square 1960s Steelcase coffee table (wobbly legs), junky modern office chair, and these two chairs with an attached coffee table by the trash.  I took the coffee table off and nabbed these 2 chairs for free. Pushed together they make a nice "loveseat". The naugahyde is in great condition, and so is the steel. they are pictured in these vintage advertisements from Fortune Magazine.
