NEW STUFF!

Just picked up a fabulous Stanley dining room! If you are looking for walnut, this set is gorgeous.  Selling by the piece but will discount if you want to build a room.   

The credenza. Beautiful condition! Lots of storage.   

Gorgeous china hutch! All one piece with 2 sliding glass doors. 

I also have the dining table, one leaf and 4 chairs. One table leg needs repair so I have not photographed yet.  Condition on all pieces A+.  

Hey Heywood!  Love this cute 4 drawer Encore dresser.  It has been refinished to walnut but the finish is excellent.  Sure it can be stripped and saved, but it really is in good shape to use.  If you like your Hey Wake dark, this one is for you!  I will be listing this weekend I hope....still in my vanagon with all this crap weather! 

Fantastic Bertoia Barstool by Knoll.  This is early and comes with vinyl seat pad in brown. Very good condition with only one broken weld on left edge.  New floor glides too.  Accept no substitutes! The real deal is built to last. Black Rislan finish.  It’s listed on Etsy and chairish.  Bus shipping available or regional delivery.  

I will take a deposit to hold anything if you are waiting for income tax money! It’s the perfect time to add something awesome to your home!  💕

Have a great weekend! XO MALISSA

Big buy. DIY PRICED.

I just assisted in a local estate clean out and took possession of a bedroom full of Heywood Wakefield plus a Broyhill Saga dining room.  This stuff all needs some refinishing work and I am not in the position to get that done.  These items are in the raw and I am selling wholesale so you can do the work and get in this stuff at rock bottom prices.  Sure, if you want to pay me to get it done I would gladly restore to order but I do not typically buy for wholesale and in this case, I can price things low because of my great buy!  These are moving fast so please reach out immediately if you are interested in something.  I also have on eBay at higher price.  I am doing local pickup only. If you are out of the area and want shipping I can arrange for you but I cannot pack.  I can deliver in my immediate region....BERKS, LEHIGH, LANCASTER, ETC.  Any further I wil tack on a nominal delivery fee.  Ok I guess that’s the terms so on to the goods!  

Broyhill Saga dining table with 3 side chairs, 1 arm chair plus 1 table leaf. Table top could use refinish, chairs too. Seats to be recovered. Beautiful set $500

Broyhill Saga credenza. Top needs refinished for sure. $300 (will discount to $700 if you buy whole dining room)

SOLD Heywood Wakefield Sculptura 3 drawer chest with top deck cabinet in Wheat finish. Needs some finish love especially on tops but a super awesome piece and structurally just fine. $350

Heywood Wakefield Sculptura 6 drawer low chest with mirror (see below). Also in Wheat with finish issues. $300

here’s what the mirror looks like set up.

SOLD Lamp table in Wheat. Top needs redone. Sweet table. I use mine for my 4’ aluminum tree at Christmas.

What did you miss?  Don’t cry but head to my instagram as that is where all my goodies get posted FIRST! 

Text me or call 6102235758 for fastest claim! Prices are CASH PICKUP OR VERY LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY.  I will def deliver further for additional fee.  Want to hire me to restore it for you?  I can do that too!  

Also check out the November issue of Berks County Living Magazine! I have a feature in the 5 Things column and will be providing a prize pack to the contest winner of the month!  They will be on newsstands shortly and are currently trickling out to subscribers!

Thanks for keeping me busy and working!

Pyrex, End tables, dining chairs and fabric sample update.

First off I am heading down to Baltimore area this Saturday for the annual Mid Atlantic Pyrex Collectors Swapaganza!  I just uploaded a bunch of pics of what I am packing and everything is up for reserve.  If you are coming, please check my Facebook page album at Facebook.com/madformodmalissa and comment on anything you'd like reserved.  I am packing all reserves for travel. The event is closed so if you missed out this year, be sure to sure to join the Mid Atlantic Pyrex Collectors Facebook group!  I will share pics and stories in my next write up!  

Fresh Restores!  New Listings!

I have been banging out the projects in the last few weeks.  All are ready to ship and the final few chairish listings should be live in the next 24 hours. 

Meet the Heywood Wakefield tables! 

A total of 5 end tables have been totally restored to their former glory. Sanded and stripped if needed, new stain and layers of tinted top coat to replicate that awesome opaque finish us Hey Wake fans love.  Since I had 4 of the same step end tables, I did a pair in each of the popular finishes, champagne and wheat.  They look awesome!  

New to Heywood?  Here is a side by side comparison of the coveted finishes, champagne on the left with it's pink undertones and wheat on the right which has yellow undertones.  Both darken with age so if you find an unmarked piece, it may be hard to determine on sight.  When you look underneath you can usually find evidence of these hues. 

The wheat pair. 

The champagne pair. 

I also did a great corner table! This would be placed between 2 pieces of a sectional.  A real cool table if it fits your configuration. It is bigger that it appears. It is done in champagne.  

Here is a before pic and how cool it can look with the right couch! 

Next, I got the Italian ladderbacks finished.  They are beautiful!  The black chairs received all new seagrass seats and a new clear coat to protect that chippy finish that is the perfect age look if you like that style! These will be awesome in a farmhouse or traditional setting or those who like to mix up your Mod with more traditional looks.  They are very whimsical in design and just make me smile.  I like the look with the natural chairs at the ends!  All of these items can be Bus shipped to your nearest Greyhound station very reasonably! I do all the work! You show up when they call you to get them.  I will help you through, just reach out!

Last update! Frank Lloyd Wright samples will arrive Friday! I hope to do a big reveal!  Maybe I will go live on Facebook.  Stay tuned to my social media!  Important....i am shopping for things that will work for chair recovering and since this fabric is so expensive, I cannot get a big selection.  I will sell 1/4 and 1/2 yard cuts of what I get for myself but if you see something you want, speak up right away so I can work with you on ordering.  I will need to clarify minimums, etc.  There are limited quantities available so would like to submit my order asap. You can only purchase this fabric through an interior designer, architect or someone like me with a trade account! I will ship to your for free.  50% deposit due when my order is finalized, balance due after I receive and send pics but prior to shipping/delivery. These fabrics are $150-300/yard.  There are linen, velvet, sheers and trim.  Can't wait to inspect these fine fabrics!

i am off through a busy weekend of pyrex, band performances (2 gigs on Sunday) and sports!  have a great week everyone!

A couch saved and sold, new acquisitions.

What an amazing week and a half!  I have shipped many items and have been working hard!  I am happy to announce that in the last week I was able to complete the restoration on the beautiful sectional and it has been scheduled for pick up with the shipper.  My upholsterer had the cushions ready for me in 24 hours after I left them.  So great to see this couch with perky and soft seat cushions!   

No doubt about it, this is one sexy sectional! 

She is headed to South Carolina to be the star of am 1800's built home!  I know she will fill the role with grace! 

I have arranged shipping with a great company with limited delivery areas in the south (based in Atlanta) and also has service in the mid Atlantic (based in NJ).  They were able to save my buyer $200 off the chairish quote with plycon!   

My lights have been going out the door as fast as I can go over them!  The gorgeous 4 light pendant fixture is on the bus headed to Nebraska.  I will be working on the tension poles next.  I also picked this beauty up yesterday!  What a fun piece for a retro kitchen nook!  

Love those daisy accents!  

I also picked up a great bookcase!  It features sliding glass doors and a fixed shelf.  

I picked up a great little bookcase that features sliding glass doors and a fixed shelf.  It is in great condition.  I will be adding it to the etsy store and although I could bus ship, I'd prefer a local meet because of the glass,  I may work it into my booth as well.   

Size is 36" by 12" by 35-1/2" tall

i also scored a pair of chrome Bertoia chair knock offs in a great counter height. Front of seat is 23-1/2", top of back 40" from floor.  Knowing how most folks want the look without dropping up to $1000 a chair and honestly, the bar and counter height chairs are not as common to find in the secondary market, I picked these up.  They look new as there is tag residue on them.  Seem sturdy and will add some class to a kitchen counter or bar.  I will be pricing them at $150 for the pair and taking them to the mall space for cash/carry local peeps.  Only a Knoll aficionado will recognize that they are not the real deal so your secret is safe with me! 😂✌️

Chrome finish.  Super great pair! 

These will be great in a modern kitchen! 

Choice of 2 Herman Miller Eames Shells, better than ever!  Reimagined with reproduction rocker base from Modern Conscience. I will be holding on to one of them so when one sells, I will be pulling the other listing! 

I have both rockers in my possession and adore them both!  I will say the tan (Greige) shell is more of a collector piece since it is very early.  Dates 1951-1953 and is the first modification on the original Zenith production shells.  It's a harder, and in my opinion, more fragile fiberglass than the Summit Plastics black shell.  From my research, I would date that one as late 50's or early 60's. It has the S circle Summit logo and the double triangle logo plus the Herman Miller logo stamped into the fiberglass.  The upholstery is in good shape with only one puncture tear and some marks/discoloration on the vinyl.  Very minor issues.  Both of these chairs are iconic pieces of MCM design and recognizable by even the most novice of fans.  Such a cool piece to add to your home and definitely will not depreciate in value.  I have taken great care to restore them so they are in ready to use condition.  Perfect for parents to be!  The chairs really do not take up a large footprint either, so you can slide into a tighter space.  Locals can see them both in person to decide!  

Both listings are live in my etsy shop.  Stop by to check them out! 

Looking for restored items?  I still have a few super pieces looking for homes, fully restored with new fabric and all issues tended to.  Pop by and see if you can accommodate one! Bus shipping available!
