	Looks like a cool place....th... Looks like a cool place....that said, the Gowanus Canal is a nasty stinky mess. It is one of the most polluted waterways in the Country, I believe. It was, however, just designated as a Superfund sight....which apparently, is a bad thing. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/opinion/lweb15gowanus.html
	Spinaro...I understand	1 Relevance	17 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Spinaro...I understand but one thing I don't understand is why you're up in NE Mpls when you could be on Lake Street close to the river? Lots of larger store fronts and it's a better area for walk-in sales...situated between Calhoon Square and Grand Avenues! Getting up to NE Mpls is a pain....
	...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... This might be a shot in the dark,but you might try emailing someone like DTC in Mpls. All I know is.. they pick up Danish furniture in ALL sorts of conditions in Denmark and restore it in Minneapolis. I would assume they have a lot of parts... and I've seen similar furniture places in other cities that do the same thing... You could see if they have any of the parts you need, but it probably won't be cheap. http://www.danishteakclassics.com/

	threads Damn, this is going to bother me, I know I've seen that chair in one of these 8 billion refference books around here. Can you post a pic of the underside where the base mounts to the seat? An unusual thing to check when origin is unknown is whether the bolt threads are metric or standard, often indicates where chair was produced.
	Some Thoughts	1 Relevance	21 years ago	barry	General discussion
	Some Thoughts I am always impressed by the courage it takes to present your work in such a personal form and lay yourself open to critcism. It may be a good thing if other people took SDR's lead and presented their work (sketchbooks etc.) in a similar fashion. It could start a lively form of discussion.
	Chihuahua	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Chihuahua I've got a cat tower thing from them that they don't carry anymore. It's cool, it's a spiral swirl tube with carpet on the inner face and sisal on the outer face for scratching. The cats love it. Postmodern pets is a great place for cat stuff as well as other pets.
	Vitra Nelson book worth the hefty price tag?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	brbeard	General discussion
	could anyone who owns (or has seen) this book, please weigh in? Seems quite expensive for a book of this size (for example, the Eames design book is approx 100 pages longer, for about half the price). I realize questions of value for items such as this are subjective (is it worth it TO ME), but I'd be curious of people's opinions on the thing. It currently has zero reviews on Amazon...
	Help ID Teak Danish Table ?	1 Relevance	12 years ago	el McCool	Identification
	Reposting (with fewer words this time) so my apololgies in advance if you've seen this. But I really could use help identifying designer, period, and purpose. Beautiful teak and birch, Marked Made in Denmark. Dual sliding wine drawer with stemware holder. Drop leaf table top. The drawer has thin metal handles on both sides.Odd thing because the drawer slides side to side and the drop leaves raise so it would be awkward against a wall or lengthwise which would prevent accessing both sides of the drawer.We are stumped. Where would this thing even belong? I first assumed it was a cart that had the casters removed at some point but the caps are not drilled for casters.Thank you. http://d1t1u890k7d3ys.cloudfront.net/cdn/farfuture/LtukjrwX6N5S-dHTDV5JPeAQSkCvgkCo8H2t3OMBUIo/mtime:1487933757/sites/default/files/forum/IMG_0779_1.JP G" />
	Amend that to Museum of Design and Process...	1 Relevance	21 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	Amend that to Museum of Design and Process... I am outraged that they turned your incredibly generous and enlightened offer down. Sheesh! I think you're onto a huge scholarly and cultural blindspot here. The more I think about it, the more outraged I become. If great mid 20th Century to present art has been about anything, it has been about process...revealed structure in architecture, jackson pollack drip painting, T.S. Eliot's poetic constructions, William Carlos Williams poems about cats walking, the whole notion of not ideas but the thing itself, structuralism, deconstructivism, and so on--all about how things are put together, taken apart and what this both means and reveals to artists following in their tracks. This is absolutely outrageous that the museum and academic communities willfully overlooked your overture...any such overture. It makes me think in a new way about my 75 year old mother in law who paints and loves American impressionist painting, who's mother was a decent amateur painter, too, who studied under emile gruppe and the cape ann school of painters. She walks through galleries with me telling me how painters get this effect, or that effect (like a good carpenter showing me how to mitre an angle or hang a door), and says "no one cares anymore about how paintings are made?" And the obvious inference that she is too polite to master is: and if you don't care about how something was made, how the hell can you even hope to appreciate in any informed way the quality or meaning of a thing. And there's truth to her comment.

	My sister used to work at a... My sister used to work at a carpet retailer and got me some remnants of really really dense wool, like what is in bank foyers etc, there are some lovely colours, moss green and carmine red, it feels about an inch thick. There is an edging you can get done which is really tight and almost invisible, its a good way of getting a good quality rug, any carpet retailer will have remnants they won't know what to do with. "Experts agree that when it comes to allergies the best thing to do is avoid your allergen ? the thing that causes your allergic reaction. Dust mite allergens are proteins contained in mites' faeces, secretions and body parts. If you don't want to sneeze or wheeze then you need to get rid of dust mites and what they leave behind. But that's hard when dust mites live in our mattresses, pillows, bedding, furniture and clothes. Some people swear sunlight will rid your clothes, carpets and bedding of dust mites. But Dr Euan Tovey, an allergy researcher from Sydney University, says it's not a straightforward solution. Tovey says leaving your rugs or carpets in the sun to 'bake' for three hours will kill all the dust mites, but it won't get rid of the allergen. "Killing the mites alone doesn't stop any of the exposure to allergens ? all it does is kill the mites, which will over a period of time just re-establish themselves anyway. So you do need to get rid of the allergen," he says. "What I do is wash my Persian carpets once or twice a year ? I hose them down, scrub them with soap and water, put them on the trampoline and leave them in the sun for a day." The best thing for bedding and clothes is regular washing in the machine. Tovey says dust mite allergen is highly soluble, and washing in warm water with normal laundry detergent removes close to 97 per cent of the allergens. "Most websites advocate hot washing bedding at 73 degrees ? that's very hot water. Most systems don't have water that hot and I don't think it's worth the trouble ? you're better to wash it more frequently," he said. As for mattresses, Tovey says it's best to use a washable mattress protector and wash it regularly with all your other bedding. So in short, sunlight can kill dust mites but it won't get rid of the allergens. You need to wash those before you'll stop coughing, sneezing and wheezing"
	Mid Century / Danish Modern shows or events in New England	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Hello, I live in New England and have yet to find any shows that feature Mid Century and Danish Modern furniture and accessories. The bulk of the shows around Boston / New England are either true antique shows or flea markets. I'm looking for the real thing any help? Thanks

	I have seen some nice stuff... I have seen some nice stuff a cb2.com which is crate and barrels modern offshoot. It's kina hit or miss. Sometimes I really like what they have and sometimes not. Their stock changes fairly frequently and the really nice designs seem to sell pretty quickly too. I also think that one pic looks like some really bad 80s bed linens. I don't care if it is the 'in' thing right now. I would never put it on bed.

	What a difference, ...how beautiful waffle! Frankly, I would never let that thing run loose outside, even on a covered terrace... I'm not familiar with any wood filler that works well with screws, but my low tech go-to is using wood glue and toothpicks or wood skewers...works like a charm.

	thanks for the info. I was... thanks for the info. I was thinking an eames lounge replica, then i noticed a good amount of differences. also the bottom backrest and the seat are all one piece. I will be following the links and seeing if I can get some more info. One more thing I am thinking about reupholstering it. Should I put in the buttons on the reupholstery?
