I have had my eye out for a mid century modern piece, possibly a dresser for the second bedroom, for some time. I wanted something that was solid wood. A lot of stuff from this period is veneer or laminate. I also wanted something with legs. If you know mid century stuff, you know that the legs are what make the piece. Beautiful little legs. The problem was everything I have seen that met these criteria were several hundred dollars. I didn't really NEED any furniture for my home, so I could never justify spending that much. That is when I found my craiglist angel. And this popped up....
A tall, very good-sized, mid-century mod dresser made of solid wood and the most beautiful legs for $75! I almost had a heart attack. I happened to get out of work early that day and got to this dresser as fast as I could. It has a few dents and dings but it is a beauty.
Then the same guy posted this two days later.
AHHHHHHHH. It was 7:20 when I saw it and I patiently waited 25 minutes to call so it was a tad bit more acceptable of a time. When I called he said someone was coming at 8:00 am. NOOOOOOO!! My dreams were crushed. But then, at 8:15 he called back and said they had cancelled!! Yippeee!! And today this beauty will complete (for the time being) my mid century collection. I don't want to get too much of a theme going or else my poor kids will think it's 1950 when they are born and come out wearing pedal pushers.
If you are one of the many lucky enough to stay at the hotel I call my house, you will get to sleep with this beauty. Well, sleep in the same room with it. If you can even sleep with something so majestic in your room....
