$20 - Danish Modern Ice Bucket


I've been wanting something like this to make outdoor gatherings easier...no more running back and forth to the refrigerator. The removeable plastic liner is a nice feature too.

$50 - Atomic Coffee Table


The ad hints that this table may not be the sturdiest of the sturdy...still, it'd be a fun addition to any atomic/modern look.

Mid Century Dresser and Small Credenza



If you're familiar with Mid Century postings on CL, then the background in these photos probably looks familiar - this seller photographs all of his stuff in front of the same white wall. He posts mostly MCM, and I've actually purchased two pieces from him (a walnut coffee table and the below walnut bookshelf with gorgeous tapered legs and glass doors)...

Jose (can you believe that I remember his name?!) has several storage units full of MCM furniture and has some pretty good deals. I went to only purchase the coffee table and came out with the bookshelf after falling in love with it. They seem like a fairly good deal, but I'm not sure how well built these are...I think they're probably worth investigating!

$175 - 1960s Stiffel Lamp


I just know that this is perfect for someone. Its got color, class, and size. A little research (as the seller has done) shows a pair of these lamps ranging from $2-3,000. I love the red shade used on this pair on 1st Dibs. The Stiffel Lamp Company opened in Chicago in 1932 and specialized in a unique foil signature from pewter, brass and bronze. The price is right for a little bit of drama...

Height to top of socket: 32"
Height to top of harp: 38.5"
Height to top of shade: 41"
Ceramic base height: 16"
Ceramic base widest diameter: 7"
Brass Base: 7.5" diameter
Shade: 18" high x 17" bottom diameter x 15.5" top diameter
