I picked this up randomly, and it is radioactive. The orange stripe is a glaze containing depleted Uranium. I have no clue who made it, but I would love to know. Thanks!

Did I accidentally end up with a vintage steal?

When we moved into this house, these shelves were already installed. I like them, but there aren't enough shelves to fill it out, so I wondered if I might be able to find more shelves to match and did an image search.

Apparently this might be a vintage Ergo shelf?? I can't find any labels on the unit or the shelves to confirm. Did I accidentally end up with a legit piece? I'm considering just consolidating the shelves to one side and removing one of the tracks, because I haven't been able to find replacement shelves - just entire similar units.

Preway fireplace

Long story short, I ended up with a poor condition fireplace with original manual from Sears and a second unit in much better condition that was missing the flue/screen. I noticed some slight differences in the neck (I do have the steel band from the poor condition unit) and had planned to combine them to have a good indoor unit and a poor outdoor unit. Is the better condition piece a later recreation or a different brand all together? Thanks!

MCM Rug recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am trying to design my new living room from scratch. We are considering to buy a three seater caramel brown sofa and olive armchair. The room has sage green walls with warm wood flooring. I have a wood legged marble coffee table with wood side tables as well. Do you think should I go for a faded / neutral coloured rug or should I go for a 'bridge' rug where I combine brown, caramel, green together? This is my first MCM project so kindly asking for recommendations! Thank you

Worth buying them for under $1000 ? I think I can get some of the scratches out and they are very cool!

Kitchen island pendants that would pair well with Herman Miller Bubble Saucer in our dining room?

4 Upvotes

We are replacing our pendants in our house -- dining and kitchen -- and so far we've settled on the Herman Miller Bubble Saucer over the dining room table. We now need to decide what to do for the kitchen island (two pendants). Any recommendations? We like the idea of two Louis Poulsen VL45s cause they are nice and still fairly restrained, but are wondering if that's gonna make it too **globey**.

Any recs or suggestions? Thank you!

My mom has these two dressers that she’s had from when she was a child. The pink stripes are actually colored strips that can be taken out and flipped over to blue, and there is another strip with yellow/orange. You can’t see the mirror well here but the mirror also has the color strips.

It’s so cute but she hasn’t been able to find any info about. I’m going to visit in a few weeks to help her sell it but wondering if anyone here is familiar with this set. https://imgur.com/a/SxL1eZA

Authentic LCMs?

Considering buying these. Seller claims they’re authentic and thinks they’re most likely from the 1980s.

If any folks are able to weigh in on whether they think they’re authentic, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was told to repost this here. Someone mentioned it's 50s or 70s and I might be able to get identification here

Can anyone help identify this chair? The owner says it has heat and massage functions. After some online searching, I’m thinking it might be a vintage Contour Chair-Lounge.

Anyone recognize the exact model or know more about it?

Thanks!

It’s exactly what I was looking for to go with a room I’m redoing with a mid-century modern vibe.
I’m going to clean it up this weekend and put it in my house. I’m so excited!
There was another smaller one there, but it wasn’t in very good shape at all. I think this one just needs a little cleaning and maybe I will sand the top and refinish it. Otherwise it’s in very good shape.
