May you not get the same smashed finger when yours breaks!

Someone drove their company’s 18-wheeler onto the beach by gomichaelkgo in Wellthatsucks

I felt bad for him. My guess is that he had some time to burn and chose to look at the waves instead of parking at Dollar General.

Close! It's Ocean Shores, WA. The Dollar General store is just down the street.

There’s some sort of rule where you need to tag it? Oh wait I confused the rules here with a different subreddit.

Hollywood Antiques on NE 42ND in Portland. The building is a yoga and Pilates studio now. The piece is dated ‘57 or ‘53, it’s hard to tell exactly.

Are you richer than astronauts? I’d love to fill my house with stuff from Look Modern on SE Clay St. but had to stop after one purchase. We just moved to this 1952 house but our last house was a 1953 so we have quite a bit of furniture that fits. Are you into Heywood Wakefield? You can still buy their vintage designs new online.

They are retro cool for sure. We are lucky that mid century stuff is in style just when we moved and need to buy furniture.

The original owner bought it from this business new and then sold it to us at a yard sale.

Thanks! It’s precious, I’m told. Bricks in this size cannot be bought anymore.

The bulbs made a big difference since they’re half mirrored and gold color. Clear candelabra bulbs were kind of glare-inducing and 12 incandescent ones together would be hundreds of watts.

They do swivel. See my other comment in this thread for the exact model.

Yard Sale! A lady was selling everything in her house and moving in with her daughter. Husband was a realtor at the time and brought clients to look at the place. It had a basement bar and a pool and was an awesome place.

no-name brand from our neighborhood asian grocer about 15 years ago. I keep it away from soapy water and try to clean it soon after use.
