One Busy Weekend

2014 has gotten off to a bang and we have been busier than ever. In the past 2 weeks I have received 6 orders on Etsy for custom coffee tables. I spent most of this week completing two of them. On Friday I did not go out picking because I needed to meet the shipping deadline for one of the coffee tables. On Saturday there were several sales to choose from. I chose to shop a local semi-annual antique market. It turned out to be the right choice as I found some amazing pieces. On Saturday night we were up finishing an upholstery project until 10pm. It was done just in time to bring it to Portland Flea on Sunday morning. Portland Flea was a great success and we sold quite a few pieces.

I was amazed to find this recliner by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin. We found a few of them last year but none of them had the original tag. We are excited to restore this chair to its original glory.

Lately I have been staying away from industrial pieces but this one was well priced and meticulously cleaned. I could not pass it up. It was sold at Portland Flea.

Last bough not least I bought a piece for ourselves. This Cathrineholm tea pot is a piece that we have been searching for a long time now. It seems that the only pieces missing from our collection are incredibly rare and expensive. I got the tea pot for a fair price compared to what they have been bringing on eBay lately.

Shop dog Millie spent the day with us at Portland Flea. She got lots of attention and met many new friends.

Do to a great sales week did not bring as many pieces to the flea as we usually do. However, it made for a nice minimalist display. The lack of items did not seem to hamper our sales as most of the pieces were sold.

The teak sliding door credenza is one of our new items that is now available at Hawthorne Vintage.

This love seat is the piece that we worked on until 10pm on Saturday night. It has been sold.

This beautiful lounge chair and walnut side table pairing sold quickly.

Our "deal of the day" was our sale on small with shelves of $10, $5, $2, and $1 pieces.

A Pick to Remember

Yesterday I drove a couple hundred miles and went looking to pick in greener pastures. My efforts were rewarded with some great finds! Here's what I got.

The pick of the day was this Adrian Pearsall style sofa by flexsteel. The lady I bought it from told me that it was originally orange but she had it recovered in this neutral off-white fabric. I would have loved to have found it in the original orange but it is still a wonderful sofa. SOLD

Another amazing find was this child's size bentwood lounge chair. It is tagged Woolf Furniture MFG. I have never seen one quite like it. It is for sale at VDC for $150.

Danish style sofas are always very popular. This one is already spoken for and we are currently making cushions for it.

Lately we have been selling lots of record cabinets. This Danish teak one is the best one yet. SOLD

Last week I found this wonderful 4' x 6' oak frame chalkboard. SOLD

It is 72'' long and is now available for sale at theVintage Design Collective at 7126 SE Milwaukie Ave for ~~$375.~~ Sold

Pick of the Week: Lane Acclaim Coffee & Side Tables

The Acclaim series by Lane is one of the most collectible American mid century designs. The beautiful two tone dove tail design is both bold and beautiful. I have had coffee tables and side tables from this line before but I have never had a complete set in such excellent condition at one time!
