Remnant

Mid Century Mondays // 20

Most of this weekend was spent preparing for the Portland Flea but I did manage to to get some great pieces at just one estate sale.

I picked up so many pieces at the estate sale that it took two truckloads to get it all home. The two Hans Wegner style lounge chairs were sold quickly at Portland Flea.

I got two of these mid century daybeds. They should be reupholstered by the end of the week.

The final piece from the estate sale was this mid century sofa. It is now available at VDC for $750.

We had a great day at the Portland Flea and we sold quite a few pieces.

The Plycraft chair we upholstered this week is now available at Hawthorne Vintage.

Reupholstered: Eames Style Lounge Chair & Ottoman in Pendleton Wool

For some time Heather and I have been wanting to reupholster an Eames style lounge chair and ottoman. A couple weeks ago I found a set that needed some serious repair. The upholstery was worn and torn and the finish on the shell was bruised and faded. Originally the plan was to reupholster it in black vinyl but ultimately we decided that what it really needed was Pendleton wool. It is now finished and available for sale on Etsy

Here is the set just as I found it. I was so excited when I bought it that I did not realize that the base did not match the chair. This sent me on a near impossible journey to find the right base.

I stripped off all of the old upholstery and Heather got right to work on the upholstery

Surprisingly I was able to find a base that works really well with the chair!

Here is the finished product!

Refinished: Cal-Style Lucite Dining Set

This weekend Heather picked up a Cal-Style dining set that was in serious need of repair. I cleaned up all of the chrome and she reupholstered the seat cushions in marine grade vinyl. We are very pleased with the final result and the set is now available at Hawthorne Vintage.

Here is the state of the set as we found it.

Here is the set all finished and ready to move into a happy home!

The dimensions of the table are 28'' tall x 42'' wide. The chairs are 33.5'' tall x 20'' wide x 18'' deep. The seat height is 17''

This weekend we found some great pieces! Here is what we got.

On Saturday I stepped out of my usual mid century category and bought this amazing settee sofa. It sold in just a few hours via Instagram. If you would like to see our picks in real time you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter. Chris is @pdxpicker and Heather is @joyofallcrafts.

The surprise find of the weekend was this Westnofa lounge chair and ottoman. It should be reupholstered in a couple weeks.

Another project piece was this lucite and chrome Cal-Style dining set.

This Danish rosewood cabinet was originally the base to an entertainment center. I think it's even more useful as a single piece. SOLD

Contemporary Danish teak desk. For sale $100.

Reupholstered // Gunlocke Armchairs

Last week we found an amazing set of 6 Gunlocke armchairs. The upholstery on the chair looked pretty good when we bought them but the foam was completely dehydrated and had to be replaced. As long as we had to remove the upholstery to replace the foam we figured we might as well replace the upholstery with something a little more modern.

The Gunlocke Chair Co. made mid century office chairs in an iconic sturdy American style. This is how the chairs looked when we found them.

A few days later they were done! The set is now available at Hawthorne Vintage and Etsy for $900.

New Arrivals: Hawthorne Vintage

We just added a few great pieces to our space in Hawthorne Vintage just in time for the weekend!

I found this pair of chair frames last weekend. I got right to work cleaning them up and replacing the webbing. Heather made the cushions from a beautiful gray woven fabric. SOLD.

I always love seeing a good vintage tag. I thought this one was especially cool.

We also added this modern credenza to our space. The sliding doors are perfect for storing and concealing all of your electronic components. It is 72'' long x 28.5'' tall x 19.5'' deep. For sale $475.

Mid Century Mondays // 18

The last few days we had wonderful weather all weekend. The sun seemed to bring out lots of garage and estate sales. We found so many great pieces that we had to break them up into 3 posts. The items we found on Friday and Saturday can be seen in our last two previous posts. Here are a few highlights from this weekend.

It has been a while since we bought many smalls. Heather helped out by picking up these great pieces.

These amazing nesting patio tables are now available at Hawthorne Vintage

The entire time I have been picking I have never found one of these teak monkeys out in the wild. This was my weekend to finally find one. It is going into my personal collection. NFS

On Friday night I found an Eames replica lounge chair & ottoman project piece.

The next morning Heather found this amazing Plycraft chair & ottoman. SOLD

We found and upholstered this chair on Friday. It sold at Hawthorne Vintage on Saturday morning.

This mid century credenza is now at Hawthorne Vintage for $475.
