For Sale by MoPho: Brass Globe Floor Lamp - SOLD


This incredible retro lamp is in great working condition and will look stunning in your home. The lamp is all brass and has a brown metal base with a step control so you can adjust the lamp's settings with your foot - that is mid-century modern ingenuity for you :) The bulbs spiral up - the look is quite dramatic and would look great with a more hollywood regency style as well. The lamp has three settings as pictured below and is in excellent vintage condition - as you can see it all works! It puts off a lot of light and at top settings could light a whole room!

The lamp is 5 feet tall, the lowest bulb is at 3 feet tall. It is 1 foot in diameter.

Our New Pride and Joy - the Broyhill Brasilia Room Divider!!


We had an Ikea Expedit room divider in our Arizona room in an attempt to provide some privacy to the rare overflow guest that cannot fit in our guest bedroom and to make the room feel more cozy.  The day we installed the Ikea piece I told my husband that my dream would be to put a Brasilia room divider in that place but that I knew we couldn't afford it.

I spend some time every day looking at future estate sales to plan out which to take the time to attend.  One day I was looking at photos for a sale that was about a month away and saw a photograph of a Broyhill Brasilia Room Divider and just about couldn't believe my eyes.  I squealed and jumped.  Then I called the estate sale company to see if they ever sell items prior to sales (they don't), and to see how soon they thought I should arrive to ensure I acquired what I wanted.  And then I planned.

For Sale by MoPho: Henredon Heritage Nesting Tables - $200


We found these gorgeous Mid Century Modern end tables looking a bit rough around the edges! We lovingly refinished these gorgeous tables with a lovely dark walnut stain and three coats of semi-gloss polyurethane and now they really shine and stand out and will look great in your home! The design is great, the smaller tables slide right under the next size up for storage, and allow you to place a side table where you really need it! The tables are in great vintage-refinished condition at this point, they do still retain a few small dings expected for their age that do not distract from their beauty, the finish will hold up for years to come on these sturdy tables!

The measurements are as follows: Large table - 25"x21.5" top and 22"tall, Medium table - 17.5"x22.75" top and 21" tall, Small table - 13.5"x 20" and 20" tall.
