it's probably too late...

...to turn back on architecture, but lately I've been obsessed with furniture. I want to collect it, make it, and roll around in it. I've been following the Scavenger posts on apartmenttherapy.com. They periodically collect craigslist postings of really good furniture finds. Now, I'm going straight onto craigslist and searching on my own and I pretend to be collecting mid-century modern designs for my totally rad apartment that I'm designing from scratch. It's amazing what people are selling...on craigslist no less and not with some antique dealer...and for really cheap!
I guess I don't really need to be making furniture since at the heart of my obsession is that all this stuff is out there, made already, by Moderns, and people don't want it anymore. I'll take these for my imaginary apartment for now:
I love this one so much it hurts, so I'll put two images:

I agree about the piece that you "love so much it hurts." My grandmother had an almost identical piece and when she recently moved to a smaller place, she ask me if I wanted anything. I said I wanted this particular piece, but she had already given it away a while back and couldn't remember to whom! Shoot!
Truly tragic! I can't believe you were so close to having your hands on something like that. Sorry to hear. Now I will keep my eye out for two!
Make that for three!
