Danish Modern Desk - SOLD

UPDATE: This has been sold!
This solid wood desk has no labels inside the drawers, but it reminds us of the beautiful Domino Mobler desks we've seen at our favorite stores.

Ours:

An Instagram pic of the desk. I always gotta throw in one!

Domino Mobler:

Similar, right?  (Apologies for the back lighting in my pic, folks. There's just no good time of day to take pictures from our bedroom. That's right, this gorgeous mid-century piece of furniture is currently chillin' in our bedroom. Please save it?) 

There are two flaws in this otherwise perfect desk - the left corner has a bit of a chip, and there's a bit of a stain on the left panel. We're asking $100, and we'll throw in the can of stain I bought to polish up this sucker myself, and, of course, never actually did. The dimensions are 5 feet long x 29 inches tall x 30 inches wide. We can deliver if you don't have a truck or a large-enough hatch-back vehicle. (Believe it or not, this fit in my Subaru Forester no problem.

$40 Smaller Mid-Century Desk: The Ikea Alternative - SOLD

UPDATE: This has been sold!
I know, I know, we've all been guilty of it -- in a college dorm room or in a small, one-bedroom apartment, we tend to head to Ikea to find cheap pieces of furniture to fit our tiny spaces. Well, we're here to tell you that just because you have a small space doesn't mean you should have less-than-fabulous interior style, and this mini mid-century desk for $40 is here to help.

And of course, an Instagram pic:

The dimensions of this little guy are 42 inches wide X 28 1/2 inches tall X 24 inches deep. The top drawer has space for a hanging file rack, and the bottom drawer has plenty of space for your printer paper, iPhone chargers, and any other ironically modern thing you can think to store in a desk that comes from a typewriter world.

Friends don't let friends shop Ikea. If you want your dorm to be the envy of all the interior design students, or you want to save some money and work from your cozy apartment for a change instead of always heading to coffee shops, give us a shout at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com. 

$80 Retro Green Tweed Armchair - Sold

Update: This chair sold today! We're looking forward to visiting it in its future home at a new coffee shop opening in downtown Phoenix. I think that means I'll have a spot saved for me, no?

Do you need a cute little retro green tweed armchair for your vintage decor? 'Cause we sure don't, but we couldn't resist picking this one up!

I apologize for my complete overuse of Instagram pics on this blog. I'm obsessed, and I can't stop. (By the way, if you want to follow us on there, it's @thriftybusinessphx.) More pictures without creative filters are on the way -- there's not enough light in our apartment to show off the exact warm green hue just yet. 

*Update: Well, the sun never came in, so we brought the chair out to the sun!

Trevor, modeling how comfortable the chair is!

We're not positive how old it is, but the fabric is flawless and the cushion is just-squishy-enough-without-being-too-broken-in. I think it could totally fit in with mid-century modern decor in a living room, bedroom, or office (Mad Men anyone? I could see Pete Campbell liking this. Sidenote: I am as impatiently excited for the season 5 premier as a kindergartener waiting for Christmas morning.) 

If you're interested, we're asking $80 for this armchair. Shoot us an email at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com if you'd like to check it out -- remember, we're located in downtown Phoenix! 

Mid-Century Modern Lane Coffee Table and End Table - Sold

Update: These have sold! Shout out to Jacob, we hope they look great in your new home.

New merch alert! It's been awhile since we've found any thrifty gems, but we're both very excited about these: a mid-Century modern coffee table and matching end table made by Lane. Both have gorgeous Danish-style legs and the diamond pattern on the surface, and both have drawers with the Lane stamp inside. We picked them up today and after a little Pledge lovin', the wood positively gleamed in our sunny apartment.

My personal favorite thing about these pieces are the drawer pulls, especially the one on the end table -- it reminds me of an infinity symbol. Which is fitting, because that's how long this furniture will look stylish in someone's living room -- for eternity!

If you're a Lane-lover or are looking to retro-modernize your home, shoot us an email at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com. We're asking $150 for the set, but would be open to selling them separately too!
