A better look at the side chair.
A different view of the table. It's not quite as wide as my current dining room table--about 4" less. It's quite a bit longer, and those leaves are really handy, since they just fold down. I'm getting 8 chairs. If this were Stickley, those chairs would be about $1,000 each. Obviously, I'm not going to ever spend that much on a set like this.

The two end chairs are like this one, with arms. This is similar to a chair currently sold by Stickley. I know that it won't be as heavy--at least I doubt that it will be. But if it's even as sturdy as the mission chair that I have from Don's mom, it will be fine. The price is right.

Arts & Crafts Mission Oak table and set of 8 chairs made from solid white Oak. A reproduction of the 100-year-old Stickley piece. Sturdy, solid, well-made. The table is 36x76" without leaves, 100" with leaves. The leaves pull out at the ends and fold under the table. The chairs are green leather, like the living room chair. Chairs, Oak Table, Table

I found these on ebay for $15.00, which is unusually low. None of them have screws. They are described as Bakelite, but my guess is they're not. The brands are Leviton and Sierra. I tried to buy them, but I couldn't get ebay to take my card--maybe because of the billing address. There are lots of these on ebay, so keep an eye out for them.

Vintage wall plates for midcentury homes. All of my switchplates have been ripped out and replaced with innocuous ones. How sad. I have no idea where in heck I can find these. There is ONE left in my house--downstairs in the dry bar area. It looks like the one on the far right. The original colors are off white and brown, and they look like plastic. Someone said they look "yellowed," but RR answered that they were always a yellowed-white. It looks like these things were made of Bakelite. Wow.

From Rejuvenation, a Cedar & Moss 8" 5'light chandelier. 30" wood circle. Brushed satin. The length is 28-120". "Mid century flair." $1599. Ouch.

Petite Tiered Copper Pendant c1950. Oh Jeeze, this would look so perfect in my dining room. All I have in the dining room is ONE recessed ceiling light with copper accents. Copper is found throughout the house. It ain't cheap! But only 1 60 watt bulb? That seems kind of nuts. I need LIGHT in my dining room. $625. Ideas, Copper Pendants, Pendant Light

Finally, a somewhat dim but reasonable look at the living room window. The wood valance and blinds would be an excellent choice for these windows. Add the drapes to complete the look. Living Room Windows, Window Room, Room Window, Wood Valance

I can have the shade! Mine would be in green. Last night I watched a movie that was set in the 1950s--Revolutionary Road. They did a pretty good job of the sets, except they used too much aqua.
