Can't have pets where you live? Adopt Spike, the junk yard dog

Spike is a great dog to have around. Incredibly cute.
 Might scare away unwanted cats.

Spike can hold things for you when your hands are full.

Spike is always in a good mood. This is his happy face.

If he's still on this craigslist ad, Spike is still available.

Oh, and this is the vintage IKEA chair Spike sat on to have his picture taken
It's on craigslist, too.

Very cool and stylish. Plywood seat and back molded to a comfortable shape,
 painted tomato red, supported by snazzy metal frame. 

Too beautiful not to be restored!

These 2 dining chairs are from the 1800s.
They have met with some accidents over the years
and are priced to allow for the repairs they will need.

Please see our craigslist ad for current pricing and availability.
Price negotiable.

To chic or not to chic?

Charming, wooden dining table and 4 chairs.
Queen Anne styling with a sweetly curved apron, cabriole legs, and scrolled feet.

The world is divided into 2 camps: those who divide the world into 2 camps and those who abhor such over-simplifications!

Still, there are definitely 2 distinct attitudes about painting furniture, and folks do seem to line up in one camp or the other: those who paint wooden furniture, and those who see that as sacrilege. 

With furniture like this, I think it's ok to go either way for these 3 reasons: the light fruitwood does not have a particularly memorable grain, the current finish is quite worn, and the structure is decent. An excellent candidate for a shabby chic transformation, which could, however, be scrubbed up just a bit and enjoyed as it is.

The chairs were made by Lenoir Chairs, which was a mid-quality furniture mfg.
started in 1926 by one of the Broyhill brothers and later merged into the Broyhill brand. These may be from the 1960s, judging from the flecked finish. They were re-upholstered about 6 months ago.

The table is 43.5" diameter plus two 18" leaves. The table, which has no manufacturer's tag, and the chairs have subtle differences in style, and may have been purchased separately,
although the pieces do go well together.

For current pricing, availability, please see the craigslist ad.

A collection of places to sit and eat. Is dinner ready yet?

Some of these have been blogged before, but I wanted to sweep all our current dining spots into one portfolio for you:


1) Reproduction clawfoot oak pedestal table + 4 beautiful pressback chairs. $248

   

Table is 42" diameter plus a single 17.75" leaf. It is so tempting to put nail polish on those claw-feet toenails! Chairs and table are completely sturdy, with some surface wear.  Enjoy the detailing and the beautiful pattern pressed into the chairs.



2) Versatile, narrow-to-wide, drop-leaf table with center extension leaf. Beautifully refinished oak with 4 cushioned wood chairs. 36" length, starts with a narrow 24" width, extends to 33" or 43" partially opened, to 56" wide with all leaves in place. $265




3) Gorgeous, mid-century modern table by Drexel. 42" rounded rectangle, with 4 chairs and 2 sidechairs (one of which needs repair). Reduced to $340 for all.




4) Parson's table. Light-tone wood veneer. 31.5" x 47.5". Bolt-on squared legs. $65



5) Mission style, stand-alone breakfast bar with 2 bar stools. Tile top. SOLD





6) Drop-leaf coffee table with a surprise! Easy-lift mechanism raises to couch-dining height. Great for games or puzzles, as well. $80.

  


7) Perfect setting for teddy-bear tea! Little table and 2 bentwood, cane chairs in cheery red. Underpriced, for sure: $58




8) Very nice, hardwood table, country styling. Goes from 48" round to 66" oval with 1 big leaf. $125




9) Dark wood, 48" round conference table on single, huge pedestal. $250

10) 2 wrought iron counter chairs or bar stools (24" seat height, plus cushion). Very well made, heavy and sturdy. $150/pair




11) 3 country kitchen chairs in hunter green and hardwood. $35 each or $90 for all 3




12) Oh, how could I forget the amazing, one-of-a-kind faux-stone table, with its wall-hung storage and matching table lamp? $700
Someone had a lot of fun designing and creating these pieces! Big and sturdy enough for a myriad of uses: dining, crafting, artwork, study, sewing...

   

Table measures 46" x 78" and sits on two large pedestals decorated with palm trees. Constructed of wood and hand-painted to evoke ancient workmanship in stone and tile. With its own "broken" and detachable corner, to evoke ruins.


13) That elevating coffee table above would make a great relaxed dining spot paired with one of our 2 resident couches:

Fascinating patterned lobby sofa, very good condition. $295

Did a nauga give its hyde for this 1960's vinyl and tweed couch? $195.
