We picked up a few goodies in the last couple months (and you thought blogs were supposed to provide up-to-the-minute information) and I thought I’d share.
Coffee Table
It’s an imitation of a Noguchi Coffee Table that we found at one of our favorite stores on the Saint Paul Retro Loop, Up Six Vintage.
I actually like the shape of the table better than the Noguchi table. Best guess is our table is a one-of-a-kind homemade table from decades ago.
Shag Rug
The rug was a craigslist find from a year or so ago. However, Mary just brought it to the super-rug-cleaner-people and now it’s super clean and I’m super grateful.
TV Stand
In the background of the coffee table picture, you can see our new TV stand. Mary found it on craigslist for a whopping $10. This was a steal as it’s a very well constructed, solid-wood, danish table.
I proceeded to cut down the legs and made a couple alterations in order to make it work for our TV stand. I kind of felt bad doing so as it was a really nice table to begin. However, it definitely beats the Circuit-City special that formerly held up the TV.
Here’s the coffee table from the other side. I think it works in the room. We like it.
