Mimomito

Sorry I have been MIA for quite awhile. I've joined a new blog called Mimomito and I'm handing all of my Mid-Century related info to that. Check us out. :)

I'm a hustler baby, I just want you to know ...

I have recently begun my side project of finding cheap mid-century furniture and other goodies at yard sales/ thrift stores and selling them to people on Craigslist. It has been pretty fun and successful so far. Yesterday I picked up six Danish chairs for $15 (that are in need of some serious work) and immediately listed them on Craigslist for $125. I have five people interested in paying full price for all six chairs - broken and all. It is nuts!

Here are some photos:

This one is pretty funky. How to protect yourself against invaders. One day I'll get a scanner and share it all with you guys.

This is a brochure from a Sacramento paint company. It was made in 1958.
