From Francesca:
Our friend Meredith over at Details sent us this link to Five Top Auction Houses, her piece on boutique outfits specializing in midcentury and modern furniture, where you can pick up well-priced pieces by Charlotte Perriand, Hans Wegner, and George Nakashima “minus the intimidation factor of Sotheby’s and Christie’s.” Below is a desk by Gio Ponti for Singer & Sons, offered by Sollo Rago Modern Auction in Lambertville, New Jersey.

From Janet:
We love this vintage children’s bunk bed and desk (note the small closet paneled with chalkboard)—something to have a skilled carpenter create. For more ideas, see the ingenious Bed Cupboard from Netherlands-based Kids Factory and our 10 Easy Pieces: Kids’ Modern Beds post.

Chairs (in various states of decay) from Venice, CA, antiques and curiosities store Obsolete Inc., which will be at the Los Angeles Antiques Show from April 23 to 27. Guaranteed to add intrigue to any space.

Today’s Design*Sponge clued us in to Chairloom, an Ardmore, Pennsylvania-based company owned by Molly Worth that salvages and reupholsters vintage furniture. Her wares can be found at the Bee’s Nest (16 E. Eagle Rd., Havertown, PA; 610-789-2720 and Estate Antiques (725 S. 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA ; 215-922-5714). Our favorite chairs are those covered with fabric from Canadian Virginia Johnson, one of our all-time favorite print and patternists. Johnson’s fabrics are available on her website; go to virginiajohnson.com. N.B. On April 6, Chairloom will be at the Brooklyn Flea Market.
