After Another Minor Dry Spell, Mr. Modtomic Spent The Weekend On The Road Picking Up Items Off Out Of Town Craigslist Postings. This Jens Risom Desk Was Found In Bloomington Il. But It Was Worth The Long Drive. Status: Available!

Hey Looky!  This is the second Jens Risom desk I've come across lately.  This one is a little bit bigger than the previous piece.  It's more of an executive desk, but it isn't so huge that it becomes ungainly, like the double pedestal executive desk.  Not too small, not too big...just about right!

The Girlfriend And I Picked Up This Great Jens Risom Compact Desk With Return Two Weeks Ago. It's Been Waiting In The Back Of Frank (The Focus Wagon) Until Now To Make It's Debut! Status: Gone.

It's not in perfect condition, but it's the real deal.  And most of the Jens Risom desks that I've come across have been HUGE.  This one's just about the perfect size for someone to use at home.

Sunday Night, Upon Arriving Home After Dropping By CCAM To Pays My Rent, This Sprung Up On Craigslist...And Right Back Out The Door I Went. A Genuine Jens Risom / Knoll Chair? Yes, Thank You! Status: Soon To Be Avialable.

Well, this ain't an every day occurrence!  Genuine Knoll, well known designer pieces for bargain prices (even on craigslist) are always a welcome if infrequent find.  Luckily I spotted this one about an hour after it was listed.  A half hour later it was in the back of the car.

See That? That's What Rosewood Looks Like! ::Sigh:: Ain't It Just Beautiful? It Just Reeks Of Luxury. It's Not Easy To Come By These Days. That's Why It's Expensive And Much Sought After. You Might Still Find Some Down At Rocket Century If You Hurry! Status: Where To Shop.

Rocket Century isn't that new 'round here anymore.  They've been around for years and have had the shop open on Grand for quite a while now, but the shop's mode of operation has changed recently and it makes for varied mix of styles and items.  If you've not been in the last month, a visit is in order!

Getting Started...That's The Hard Part. No Wait...Getting Booth Space, THAT'S The Hard Part. Who Am I Kidding...It Never Gets "Easy"! My good Friend Jeff Finally Got A Space At The Green Shag Market. Ah, Remember Those First Days?! Status: More MCM In Da House.

My friend Jeff has been trying to get his foot in the door at The Shag for seems like ages.  I've really been rooting for him too as it means there'll be another vendor of fine vintage modern furnishing in the shop...and that can't hurt at all!

Haven't Had Time To Stop By The Green Shag Lately? Maybe It's A Bit Of A Haul For You. Wanna See What You're Missing?! Status: Come And Get It!

I'll admit, I don't get down to The Shag as often as I'd like.  Such is life, so I understand if you haven't been there in a lil' bit yourself.  Here's some pics to wet your appetite!  Yes...that IS a Jens Risom desk.

Doesn't This Dillingham King Size Bedroom Suite Just Scream "Jens Risom"? It's The Simple, Understated And Kinda Sexy Drawer Pulls. Status: Gone.

I spent Sunday in it's entirety perusing, buying, transporting, cleaning up, photographing and storing this rather stunning King Size Dillingham bedroom suite.  It was another seriously hot day here in St. Louis too.  I got done just after dark and looked around to realize, this is all I've done all day!

So You Mighta Heard About The Cool Pop Up Sale That Nick, The Girlfriend And I Hit Saturday. Wanna Have A Looky 'Round? Status: More Than Just A Sale.

After the Steve & Sheri estate fail, the three of us (Nick, the Girlfriend and I) found ourselves in the land of awesome!  Yeah, this stuff wasn't the cream of the crop, mostly project stuff...but it was like a collection of all the best stuff you'd find in the basement or garage of all your estate sale dreams!  But then, I loves me some junque-tiques!  Click through to take a look around at some of the cool stuff that was there.

The Saddest Jens Risom Chair Ever? Status: Available At Steve's Antiques.

I could almost hear this chair whispering, "Kill.....Me..." It made me ponder: what do you do with an iconic chair that is just too far gone? How far does one go to rescue a chair like this?
