Featured Focus groups, antiques, and an experiment

i've noticed a trend for 20 somethings...to require much less stuff that previous generations.....spartan indeed..

 

I know two of mine live just outside Washington DC and with rents as high as they are space is always an issue.
They like a little more minalmist style anyway.

 

I also like a minimalist style because the rooms in our home are small (it is about 130 years old). I find many smaller vintage pieces.... I think a lot of today's furniture is made larger because of the McMansions... it has to fill out larger rooms.

This is the Habitat for Humanity couch I am in love with, not that old, but very well-made:

 

Anybody want to share some of their vintage home pieces?

 

I bought two of these at a house sale in addition to a larger, lower rectangular coffee table, no room, gave it to my sister, all for $85. The glass is from Nurres glass factory that was located in Egg Harbor City, NJ. My dad worked there- this glass is an aquamarine color, not cobalt (I do have the cobalt inserts that came with the tables.)

 

Nice table........the couch ...I'd be afraid of bees !!!!

 

I love those tables , Marko ! And I like that couch too . Very Golden Girls !

 

Hi Marko,
I have the same blue mirror top tables. I have two demilunes like yours and a double width one. The old Queen Mother of Elizabeth hated the blue tops so she had pink mirror glass ones made. I have no found the table tops but have found a mirror and a deco clock in the pink mirrors.
