Pair Gunlocke Chairs


Remember this post showcasing 4 vintage Gunlocke chairs? Here's another set of chairs available on CL...no price is given, but a pair would be nice in a sitting area or even on the opposite side of a large desk.

SH*T people in DC say.

My dear friends (and fellow Auburn Tigers) Stephen and Dorothy Powell are headed to DC next month - Stephen is so pumped to get to The District, that he's been studying up on local vernacular via YouTube. Hear anything familiar, DC residents? I'm guilty of throwing out the "best brunch" phrase one too many times...


$75 - Retro 1950s Kitchen Table

I know, I know...all 5-10 of you who occasionally follow this blog were wondering in desperation: "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" I've been in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, with this hot blonde. Back to business...


A very cool retro table - red formica top, curved chrome legs, and a scalloped wood apron. It also has a 12 - inch leaf to the table for expanded dining. The wood apron is very unusual and allows you to match the table with wooden chairs if you like. With the possibility of delivery (with a "small fee"), this table is a great deal for anyone's retro kitchen!

I'm such a sucker for hairpin legs on just about anything...check out this link for everything you'll need for some instant Atomic Age flare: www.hairpinlegs.com

$80 - 1988 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp


This Specialized Stumpjumper is worth checking out if you are looking for an awesome vintage mountain bike to do whatever. This double-butted Chromoly frame is classic, and the specs on it were tops in its day. It will make a sick commuter/touring bike. Or single speed mountain bike? If you stand around 6 feet...for $80...you can't beat it.

Is that a Guest Blogger? Or are you just happy to see me?

This just in! I've just successfully recruited my first guest bloggers!

Writing all the way from our Sweet Home Alabama Bureau, my dear Aunt Susan will chronicle all things weird and random found on Craigslist (and beyond!). She's got a creepy talent for finding creepy stuff, so stay tuned for her posts. The below picture of her just about says it all...


Also tricked into helping my blog generate something other than Mid Century furniture finds is...wait for it...Guest Blogger KEVIN! Kevin is a dedicated bike commuter who knows everything that we all wish we knew about what to look for in a good CL bike purchase. Look for his posts featuring awesome bike options worth your time and $$. The below picture of him only begins to describe how cool he is...

$125 - Danish Mid Century Rocker Frame


POW POW! This is a gorgeous frame that, from the looks of it, just needs a little love! The ad speculates that it's either walnut or teak - both of which clean up to a beautiful color. No telling what the joints are like, and you'll need to do a little cushion creation, but it's cheaper and has a million times more personality than this CB2 version.

$70 - Rustic Mid Century Pendant


I love the look of this unique pendant - and I'm thinking that it looks even better with a little light pushing through. Though I might consider ditching that chain - perhaps it could hang just from the light cable (which you can purchase at any length), or even a metal rod.
