Letting go....

Sometimes it's hard to let go. Sometimes it's easy.

We've had these chrome frame club chairs in the store for longer than we care to remember so it is time to let them go.

We've marked them down to $75 each and we are sooo hoping we don't have to carry them back into the store by the end of the weekend!

Come by and check them out and maybe you'll help us let go.

See you at the store!

Ethel has a craving for Danish...Teak

Lovely sunny day here in Leslieville, so we decided to put a few more things out on the sidewalk to see if we could find them homes.

Here we have a pair of Danish teak dining chairs perched on a Danish teak storage cabinet, with a single teak desk chair on the right. The dining chairs are $75 each, or $100 for the pair, the storage cabinet is $100 as well, and the desk chair is $50.

UPDATE: Storage cabinet has sold!

UPDATE: Desk chair has sold!

You remember this pair!

The lovely chrome club chairs with the snappy red upholstery! Well, it's time for them to go so we've marked them down from $250 each to $150 each or $250 for the pair. They are perfect for that smoking room man cave! Between them is the Saarinen style coffee table base (in need of a top). It's priced at $75.

UPDATE: Red chairs have sold!

We also got in a really nice Danish Teak bookshelf with storage below. Priced at $395, it's perfect for your modern space.

UPDATE: Bookshelf has sold!

So if you need some Danish in your life (and not the pastry kind!) come by Ethel.

See you at the store!

Rockford Styles

While Ethel has always been about mid century design, sometimes she lets it slip about her love for the 70's too, especially big masculine leading men like James Garner, star of TV's The Rockford Files.

In fact, we've often referenced the Rockford Files in the store, to describe big masculine furniture.

Take this gorgeous sideboard we just got in.
With the chunky pedestal leg supports,
inlaid tile top

(we can't make out the signature on the tile but we're guessing Danish!)

and parquet style doors, we think this piece is totally Jim Rockford's style.
So if you're a little teak-ed out and are craving a little bit of 70's manliness, then come by the store and check it out. It's priced at $1395.

See you at the store!

Big Red and Orange Crush

We missed posting a Friday sale last week so we have a really good one for you this time.

This pair of chrome framed red vinyl chairs have been in the store for quite a while now. One even spent some time at the hair salon next door (http://fusshairstudio.com/) as a dryer chair. The salon just renovated and so now the chair is back with it's brother. We love the Deco stylings of this pair and think they'd be perfect in an old school smoking lounge, a big masculine loft space or even as lobby chairs in a chic office. They're priced at $250 each, or $400 for the pair.

UPDATE: Red chairs have sold!

If your tastes run a bit more feminine and you don't have the room for a big pair of chairs like this, maybe you'd like this darling pair of orange case glass boudoir lamps.

This pair leans more on the ornate side but the bright orange keeps them modern. We think they're a little Sweet Charity and a little Barbarella! $65 each or $100 for the pair.

UPDATE: Orange lamps have sold!
See you at the store!

Friday fun!

This friday we're showing off some of the new goodies we just got in, plus some lovely things that we would like to go out!

If the weather forecast for the weekend has you down (it's supposed to rain all day Saturday!), you could stay in and play boardgames. Take home this vintage Calgary Stampede Chuck Wagon races game for $20,

or this circa 1976 Careers game by Parker Brothers for $18.
Being a cowboy or a movie star is just a toss of the dice away!

UPDATE: Calgary Stampede game has sold!

If you can't wait for April showers to bring May flowers, then bring home this vintage Ingram daisy wall clock to cheer you up.
It'll brighten up your kitchen for $45, and it doesn't need watering.

If you love the clock, then you'll love this set of four 1970s Tupperware canisters in bright sunny yellow.

With the patented "burp" lid, these'll keep your flour, sugar, tea and coffee fresh!

UPDATE: Tupperware canisters have sold!

If the blues have got you blue, then you need this oversized blue glass snifter.

Perfect for a Blue Hurricane cocktail or maybe a new home for your goldfish! Cheaper than Murano glass at $35.

If you like your cocktails on the small side, then this darling little set is perfect.

Cocktails for four, so remember to share. The set is yours for $30.

UPDATE: Cocktail set has sold!

See you at the store!
