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.
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.

Gilbert Rohde for Heywood Wakefield
The chair passes the pepper test! Pepper (the cat) only sits in the best chairs :)
I saw this chair in Goodwill about 1 month ago. It was painted and horribly reupholstered. I told myself I would only buy it as a project chair if it was still there when it went half off. Well it went half off yesterday. It has been stripped to the original upholstery and sanded back to bare wood. Still a long way to go. The price was right at $5.50.

I just picked this up at the local flea for a cool fiver. I believe it to be by Erik Hoglund although I cannot find this specific model on the internet. Please correct me if I am wrong.

New Bowls
Nambe bowl # 563 (probably designed by Richard K Thomas) from Salvation Army
Hyalyn bowl designed by Herb Cohen. from an Antique Shop (GASP, I know. It was more than I wanted to pay, but I had to have it)
I have learned my lesson. Stick to thift stores and flea markets where the dollar goes further.
