There are a lot of great ebay items piled up in my Watching list so I’m cleaning out to get the weekend started.
1. Excellent Starburst towel bar (sans the rod) and ring; ignore the tp holder and get one that’s recessed:
2. Kromex spice canisters in their original box. Hey boys and girls, mother’s day is coming up!:
3. 62 hinges, 36 handles and more black wrought ironry to recreate your own 50s colonial kitchen:
4. Palm Springs Stephan sent this one along, a complete set of pink bathroom fixtures, in great shape, for sale in one of the Atlantic provinces of Canada:
5. This is a great one - a complete Homart (Sears brand) bathroom set. I had these in my bathrooms, they were terrifically matched to 50s architecture:
6. The Wonderful Elizabeth sent this gorgeous sofa in for our consideration. It’s in Columbus, Ohio. Hey Mitzi, perhaps for you? Do we have any other Columbus retro renovators on the prowl out there? Thanks, Elizabeth, for all your postings on the Postwar Steel Forum “Other Great Stuff” featuring cool stuff from St. Louis.
7. And last my very favorite of the day, a photo of the Kelvinator Ice Cream Cabinet Service School, Houston, Nov. 2, 1938:
wow I love that sofa, the colour of the turquoise blue is so vibrant!
Oh I love that couch!
Holy cow, my husband just walked by while I was looking at that cool pink sink, and he actually stopped and said he liked it! He said, “Hey, that would look good in our pink bathroom!” (Frankly, I am fine with the white sink in the pink bathroom. I want a colored sink in the boring full bath that has the clunky ’80s sink.) Anyway, his interest in colored retro sinks is a major step!
Oh. My. God. That couch!! Amazing. I wonder what the reserve price is… My house is so screwy now with the business, it really doesn’t deserve that couch… I would have to squeeze it up a flight of stairs and around a sharp corner into our upstairs living room (we did it with our current couch - and have the gouges in the walls to prove it!). We would probably hurt the couch in the process, and then my dog would insist on sleeping on it all day long… *sigh*
Again - that pink sink is very much like our blue one in our 1940’s pink and blue bathroom!
