Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin

Roche Pottery Vase

I was happy to find this case. The price was a little high for me at 20, but I was always looking to add some Roche to my collection.  Mold number 31.

Porgrund Porcelain Studio Line

I received these from my grandparents collection. I love to look at them they remind me of them.

Erik Hoglund Candelabra

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.

B&B Sectional "Camaleonda" and 2 "Gli Scacchi" Tables/Seating Pieces

Company B&B

Designer: Mario Bellini

Designed in 1971 in Italy

Purchased in Goodwill for $150

I just ended my 4 year quest for a comfortable designer couch in my price range!

Lobmeyr Crystal Chandelier

I picked this up at a flea market. It took hours to clear and it still is a little dirty. It was missing 2 prisms and had some broken beads. Luckily, I was able to source replacement parts for little money. :) All in all, quite a bargain. Often attributed to Sciolari, but it is made by J. and L. Lobmeyr.

George Nelson for Aubock Wire Company, NOT!

I found this little gem of a table at a thrift store for $12. It was missing the glass top, so I walked to the beach, picked up some driftwood boards, and cut them to size.

NOT Designed by George Nelson in the 1950s

Gyokusendo Copperware Teapot

When I saw this in the bin I immediately knew it was something very special. At first I thought it may have been Tiffany, but then I saw the Japanese Chop.

After some research I found it was made by Gyokusendo Copperware. The company has been in business in Japan since 1816 making hand hammered copper objects. A new teapot today could run $720+ USD.

I was thrilled to purchase it for $4.99.

FINALLY, A KITCHEN TABLE!

FINALLY, A KITCHEN TABLE! I have been scouring the earth (craigslist, thrift stores, used office furniture stores, and the curb) for a kitchen table for the last 4 months. I finally found something I liked. I know it's not modern, but it gets along well with the Saarinens.

Dresser: Drexel Profile Furniture Line designed by John Van Koert. In production from 1955-1961. Purchased in Goodwill for $80.
