Herman Miller aluminum group

Our new kitchen table.
I found this Herman Miller "Aluminum Group" table (designed by Charles & Ray Eames) in South Carolina from an office furniture re-seller. This re-seller goes to auctions and buys the furniture of a company that has gone out of business.
I got this table for $90. The wood matches our cabinets perfect.

Garage Sale Find

The other Saturday we went to a community wide garage sale. I found this table at one of the houses and was able to get it for $30.

I need one more piece of furniture in my office like I need a hole in my head, but I couldn't pass it up.

Although it looks like a Knoll Tulip table it's instead from the "House of Denmark" store and purchased in the 70's. The table is 36" across with a laminate top.

Not a bad find.

City Issue

Yeah!!!
We finally have a dinning room table. This fine Herman Miller "aluminum group" conference table is designed by Charles & Ray Eames.
After a lot of searching and half a year without a dinning room table, we found this table at City Issue.
The wood color could not match more perfectly with our chairs and china cabinet.
Now is time to have a dinner party.

Marietta Modern Christmas

We've decided to go very minimalistic this Christmas. Clean lines, no clutter, and no presents under the tree. We'll have to change that.

Merry Christmas to all!

Bubble

So the search for a dinning room table continues. We know we will find the right table some day.
In the mean time we have found a new antique store in Chamblee. The name of the store is "Ice House Antiques". They carry mid century items and they are very reasonablypriced.

My 2 new favorite additions to the house have come from Ice House Antiques.
We have added George Nelson Bubble lamps by Modernica over the Kitchen table and soon to find dinning room table. The one over the Kitchen table is the medium size saucer shape and the Dinning Room light is the medium size Cigar shape. They are some true iconic pieces of Mid Century Modern design.

Factory Connection

Took the family to Antique Factory in Chamblee today. This is my favorite antique shop for Mid Century Modern finds. Peter the owner is very nice guy.
We are looking for a teak colored dinning room table and though we would give Pete's shop a look. We did not find anything.

Favorite homes in my hood

My neighborhood was built in the early to mid 70's. It's a great place to live because of it's convenience to Atlanta, active community and mature foliage. Each house is different so it is not cookie cutter. There are Tudors, Georgian, and Contemporary houses in the neighborhood.

Here are a few of my favorite.
