I’d do it in a linen and put them in a modern house. Don’t forget that you can get rid of that seam on the top and do a tight back - hell you can add four button tufts if you want. Maybe it’s their round back that is graphic and ’80s. But there is something about them that I like. Set of Upholstered Chairs: I know what you are thinking, These chairs are HIDEOUS, and you aren’t wrong. If they are cheap brass they’ll be like 3-6 pounds without the glass, but if they are good quality they’ll be MUCH heavier.

If you are interested, ask the owner to weigh them or describe how heavy they are. I’m totally intrigued by them and VERY curious. Set of Brass Tables: These are either disgusting yellow 80’s cheap brass or dope solid beautiful brass. And you know I want to do those scallops in different colors … Part of me even likes them those two different colors, but in newer fabric. I’m not the biggest fan of the one on the left, but the other two are pretty cute for that cheap. If you buy both just don’t put them in the same room - these guys need to be modernized and keeping them in the set will make them feel too retro. Pretty wood, modern shape … overall just so simple and pretty. $40 isn’t a steal, but it would just be so gosh darn cute in a kid’s room. Vintage Mint Green Desk: How very on trend of you, little mint desk. Sure, it needs some new clothes, but put it in a loft or a really modern house and you’ve got yourself a conversation piece on which to sit and have said conversation. Two Piece Mid-Century Sofa: It’s the chunkiest, fattest, and widest sofa ever - and for this I love it. I wish it were $40, then it would be an actual great deal, but regardless it’s very pretty and a good price. Leather Safari Chair: This chair is dope but at the top of its price range. I love how that font makes Seattle look all ‘Real World’ circa ‘Reality Bites’ era. Some of these are awesome, some are weird, and some are just steals. But for the record he also spends 5-6 hours a week looking for the perfect sandwich all over Los Angeles, so that’s weird.

He’s already baffled by my ‘need to touch everything’ when I shop anywhere, so the need to see these things in far away lands that I’ll never even touch is inconceivable to him. If Brian knew about this he would pack up The Bear and run.

Oh, the hours I can waste trolling Craigslist in towns that I have no intention of buying in.
