Found an Eames Aluminum Group Lounge, McCobb for Winchendon walnut desk and chair and an Eames High Back soft pad chair. Not a bad week!

Man I really want everything you found .... except the McCobb stuff (really don't care for much of what he did, especially the planner group)

Free rebars and steel mesh from a neighbor except I have to remove them between the garage roof truss where they were stored during the last 50 years.
Two are the child version and the other two are the grown up version.
I like the McCobb stuff, they are quiet and does not demand attention and like the primitive originals hand made by early homesteaders, they have a timeless appeal.

So I finally got a Wegner J16!!! I found it in the back of beyond, paid 80 for it. I think I did well! The seat is in perfect condition, strong as nails! The paint is chipped and worn in places, I'm pretty sure I'm going to leave it as is!

Thank you Spanky! I've been looking for one for a long time, it's been on my wishlist. I love it just the way it is, definitely not re-laquering it!

Several people must have visited the High Museum of Art Atlanta gift shop and purchased the Renzo Piano Building Workshop Skylights coffee mug. I found and acquired the blue version last December. This is nothing special, it is just one more small with function.

Teak floor cabinet; Carlo Jensen for Hundevad and Co, model HU 50/3. This version is with the swing doors vs the sliding doors. There are some water stain issues to resolve on top, some veneer chips at the back edges, and a hole cut in the back panel for cords/wires; otherwise in decent shape.
I took a look at the bottom while moving it, and the bottom trim can be easily unscrewed and removed, and there are already threaded holes in the frame if I wanted to convert to the four legged option.

I would sure put legs on it. Plinths just don't make me smile.

Yup. I've already started an eBay search alert for teak legs. I've noticed them in the past, but never had need before to pay attention. I'm hoping there's just one standard screw thread that was used for Danish teak legs.

You shouldn't have any problem with screws. They're just metric, at least in my experience--and then you just get metric T-nuts. I bought a couple of daybeds in Denmark, the legs of which were held on with T-nuts. Some of them got lost in a move and I just went to Home Depot and got more!

Nothing fancy but found a few things thrifting : )
Brass Candle Holders Made in Denmark for Scanmalay
Two hand painted Matadors by Devonware
Turns out Devonware products were made in my hometown of Winnipeg, up until they stopped production in 1967.

Today it was the Steve McGugan Wave Collection paper holder and pen holder for Royal Copenhagen along with an Oiva Tikka Flora bowl for Nuutajärvi Finland (24.5 cm Ø) for a few dollars at Goodwill. This is good.

A few decent items that are currently residing in the guest bathroom are the Alvar Aalto Savoy clear vase C for Iittala and the Elsa Peretti ceramic bean for Halston. Same drill... a few dollars at Goodwill.
