| Possibly Thanks. It looks similar - but details in the catalog photo are difficult to discern. This bed has a fully upholstered headboard and approximately a 6" gap between the bed and headboard. The catalog bed base looks close, but the headboard seems to extend to the bed and appears to have a dark (wood?) border. Attached is another photo of bed detailing the headboard connection. Also including photos of the sofa, which has been reupholstered & probably has replacement caps on the legs. Owners son thinks the sofa was acquired prior to 1954, so that ... | |||||

| Spanky, well I suppose its p... Spanky, well I suppose its potentially a difficult thing, I googled a bit about it and these right wing groups go crazy about it. I don't know if pigment is added to the plastic granules prior to molding but if it is I can't see why a whole range of skin tones couldn't be produced by altering and mixing the amounts, then just let the kids or parents decide, after a while the packers in the factory would get an idea of what the right mix is for each retailer they send too. PS I'm thinking about contemporary dolls of course, n ... | |||||

| I don't think they will ... sell you just a top. But I could be wrong. I guess you could try to replicate it, though that might be a little more difficult than it looks. You'd want to be sure to get the right bevel as well as the veneer on the edge. However, the top is just particle board with laminate. Depending on what you paid for the base, I'd consider watching eBay for a table that has a worn or damaged base (but a good top) that can be bought inexpensively. What size/ color do you want? | |||||
| mouse trap | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | khus | General discussion | |
| mouse trap If you search the term "mouse trap" on this forum or "shockmount" it will lead to some prior discussion. I mentioned there and will say here that I used 3M Scotchweld DP-190. It is a clear product. The 1838 has been mentioned also as a good option. Special K discusses some testing they did and concluded that the PC-7 is easy to work with and easy to purchase. The Scotchweld is tougher to find. I found it in the Minneapolis area through Fastenal. It has an expiration date of about 1 year from manufacture, but I believe poach said he has used the sa ... | |||||

| Mileage Varies I have found that having absolutely impeccable research to back up my claims helps a little bit in debunking. Most folks when presented with absolutely ironclad evidence will change their listings accordingly. Especially if the evidence is published and widely disseminated so as to make it difficult to ignore. But still there are the occasional hard asses who would rather be wrong than admit to having made a mistake and also of course those persons who are just outright deceitful and knew all along that their attributions were incorrect... | |||||

| build agree ... either make replacement doors for a vintage cabinet and store the originals, or ... just build the credenza to your own specs. with basic woodworking skills and tools, these credenzas are fairly easy to make. the most difficult part is finding the right legs. of course it's not going to be a real Nelson piece, but it's certainly an option that could help with color choices and also size restrictions when there are any. gl | |||||
| It's the original magenta | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| It's the original magenta ... but it has issues and I don't think it can be saved. Even if it could, it's a pretty difficult color to work into your interior. Pretty high-key. That is why I was thinking black. It goes with everything, never goes out of style, and looks great atop the silver base. The cognac color is nice also, and very popular. | |||||

| Herman Miller | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Herman Miller If you found a Nelson sling sofa, it's Herman Miller. There have never been any knock-offs of that design. The construction is actually quite complex. The rubber sling is correct and should be in good condition if you want to buy it. I think it's called "elasta-seat" and if it's torn or damaged, I don't know how you'd repair it. To my knowledge, there are no replacements available. Also inspect the molded leather on the ends. If that is torn, it's difficult to replace. What color is it? | |||||

| ... until you find the pieces that you think will suit your needs and tastes perfectly. The other facts that make me think you are in a swell spot are what you have outlined as your needs. The things you have listed I think are not difficult to obtain and can be bought very reasonably. In the other thread about beds, the question was asked "Do they take up too much room in a showroom?" The fact is, the reason you do not see a lot of beds in vintage design shops is because they are harder to come by. If anything I find more modern headboards than full beds (eith ... | |||||

| ... that promised call that they had been found. difficult to find replacements as most want to hang on to parts. Hence the 20 years of storage. did find one drilled back in matching veneer early on from a dealer here in Minneapolis, so was able to use one chair. Novelty soon wears off, though and the carriage bolts become an eyesore. Creates chair envy when touring a design show at a museum or friend's house with all the right stuff. Using a vacuum bag was crucial to getting the veneer right. Took me a few failed attempts before I figured out a process that wo ... | |||||

I have written about this restoration process and received great advice in other threads discussing LCW's. As I introduced the question of the challenge of reproducing a label for the underside, I stated it was for fun. To see if I could do it. I actually think it would be tough as I believe the original label was a rather thin type of decal. I have no intention of selling these after all the work I put into them. They were in storage for 20 years! I'm excited to brin ... | |||||

| I think he is talking about... I think he is talking about making just the little clips that screw onto the poles and support the shelves, not the poles themselves. I think that wouldn't be too difficult. I had to fabricate two of the ceiling spring feet for my unit and it was only a minor pain. I am in the process of making end mounts for the wall brackets which is turning out to be a major pain 🙁 | |||||
