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.

Stuff We Can't Get...But You Should! 7.2.12

Sometimes, we come across things on Craigslist that we'd LOVE to grab and sell ourselves, but we're held back by a teensy little detail -- neither Trevor nor I have a car big enough to transport it. Rather than annoy our friends to no end by borrowing their pickups every weekend, we thought we might as well share these gems on our blog in the hope that our loss can be your gain!

Here's a sampling of stuff spotted today that we can't go get, but you can (and should!):

Beautiful wooden chest - 9 drawers - $95 (Scottsdale)

Lane Hope Chest Ceder VINTAGE - $125 (North Phoenix)

Black Metal Desk - $175 (Tempe)

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/fuo/3092749792.html

And just for fun, since Trevor's a U of A alum (but I'll never let him have this):

Beautiful 6pc Youth LOFT BED - $295 (East Valley)

P.S. -- All pictures are from their associated Craigslist listing and were taken by their authors. Please don't judge me for any poor photo quality. 

Now go out and grab them before they're gone!

$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. 

Mid-Century Modern Executive Desk - Sold!

Update: The desk has been sold to our good friends Dan and Audrey. Which means Trevor can still visit it from time to time -- what a win-win situation!

Trevor has been on the prowl for a mid-century modern desk to be his work-at-home command center since, well, it feels like forever. This desk is absolutely perfect, with warm cherry-brown wood, a removable glass top, metal feet, and...it's really large. Too large, turns out, for our apartment. Which is why I'm the one posting this instead of Trevor -- he's still too heartbroken that he can't keep it.

Pin It

So, once again, our loss is your gain. This desk measures 6 feet long X 29 inches high X 3 feet deep. If you are lucky enough to have a bigger apartment than us, or a house, this desk is begging to come home with you. It's made by Alma Desk Company and is in fabulous vintage condition -- I'd suggest a touch up on the veneer on two of the corners, and it's perfect. A power desk, for sure.

We're asking $180 or best offer for this bad boy. As always, contact us at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com if you're interested!
