Vintage Bottom Heavy Chair

November 9th, 2009 Chair, Location, Long Island, Material, New York, Off the Market, Other/Unspecified, Textile, Type

The upholstery on this chair is hideous but what I really like about it is how heavy the bottom is, almost like it’s sagging into the ground.  It looks extremely sturdy and masculine.  Give it character by going with a bright upholster, contrasting the brutishness with something light and whimsical.  It would be very surprising.

Olive Green Loveseat

October 27th, 2009 Location, Manhattan, Material, New York, Off the Market, Other/Unspecified, Sofa, Textile, Type

$100 for this olive green loveseat is a steal.  I looks like it’s in decent condition.  I really like the upholstery.  That color, combined with the metallic fabric make this loveseat quirky.

Tylosand White Sofa Bed

October 27th, 2009 Bed, Location, Manhattan, Material, Metal, New York, Off the Market, Other/Unspecified, Sofa, Steel, Textile, Type

This Tylosand sofa bed is originally $899 from IKEA.  It’s on sale here for $500.  Almost 50% off if you consider the tax added to the original price.  It’s multifunctional with storage under the sofa and a convertible bed.  Very smart of a the limited spaces of a New York apartment.

Rocker-Thonet Bentwood Style

October 25th, 2009 Chair, Location, Long Island, Material, Metal, New York, Off the Market, Other/Unspecified, Other/Unspecified, Textile, Type

I think the frame of this thonet bentwood style rocker is actually metal.  I haven’t seen much of that.  The metal could use some cleaning and the upholstery needs to be redone but overall its a good value for something that could become great.

Deep Blue Deep Sofa

October 25th, 2009 Location, Manhattan, Material, New York, Off the Market, Other/Unspecified, Sofa, Textile, Type

I love deep sofas.  They’re comfortable in the way they cradle a large proportion of your body.  This is a simple and elegant deep blue one that would go really well with that pink country french arm chair we also found.
