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!

Danish Style Mid-Century Modern Chair

Today's Craigslist score! A Danish style mid-century modern chair, with teak wood and cream fabric. It's got such nice lines, and not only is it classy, it's also quite comfy!

Trevor and I both envisioned this sitting in the corner of a bedroom as a catch-all chair (which to me translates as a place to throw your jacket or purse at the end of the day), as a classic accompaniment to a mid-century modern desk, or as a chic entryway chair to sit in while lacing up or tugging off your shoes. 

If you've recently thought to yourself, I could really use a chic little side chair to fill up such-and-such space, then this neat ol' guy is for you. Drop us a line at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com and make an offer if you're interested!

Our New Mid-Century Modern Bedside Tables

Last weekend I promised pictures of our new replacement nightstands to match our mid-century dresser, so now I'm finally delivering (a bit late)!

I apologize for the poor lighting in both pictures. I'd like to chalk it up to me being artistic, but to be honest, there is never really good lighting for pictures in our room, and all the art here is due to Instagram.

Have a good weekend everyone, and happy hunting to those who aren't headed to the Phoenix Open or watching the Superbowl!

Sunday Afternoon Thrifty Browsing.

Today was quite the productive day for us. After selling these bedside tables to a better home where they could finally fit in, we immediately went out and about to our favorite thrift/antique stores to find replacements ones to fit our style. We were HIGHLY successful- but I'll post pictures of them tomorrow, when there's some daylight so you can get the full effect. Tonight I wanted to share some instagram pics of amazing pieces we wish we could've brought home with us. Ah, the joys of furnishing on a budget.

Hope everyone else who was out there today had successful thrifty Sundays!

Vintage French Provincial Two-Tier End Table - FOR SALE

This piece is another that we picked up before we decided we were going to turn our apartment into a mid-century modern time warp, not a vintage French-provincial cottage. We picked it up at an antique shop in Mesa, and let me tell you, if we had a storage unit (or any extra space whatsoever), I would not be parting with this table.

Pin It

This little black beauty was expertly refinished and treated by its previous owners so that the lighter brown shows through the black on the edges -- super cute. I need to learn how to do that asap. It's in perfect, like-new condition. That last picture is how it looks in our apartment currently. (Sidenote: that armchair, originally from Copenhagen Furniture? We scored off Craigslist. That silk tree in the corner? Goodwill. Neither of those are for sale though. Sorry folks.)

We're asking $60 for this non-shabby shabby chic piece. As always, email us at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com if you're interested and would like to check it out!

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.

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!

Eastern-Inspired Bamboo Broyhill Bedside/End Tables - Sold!

Update: These have sold! Thanks Susan, we hope you love them!

About two months ago, we bought this pair of Broyhill tables to be our bedside tables for our future apartment. Once we actually moved in, however, we decided a mid-century modern look would better suit our modern, loft style apartment. Oh well -- our indecision is your gain!

Pin It

We'd love to find these end tables a new home, and get over our guilt for abandoning them so quickly. The pair are for sale for $120 -- $60 each. They look great as is, or could be painted and re-finished a bright, bold color like we were originally intending to do. Check out what this blogger did with similar-looking tables.

If you're interested or would like to check them out in person, email us at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com.
