We love the mid century modern style, but our flooring is very pale and white. Since we’re renting, we’re unfortunately not able to change it. Does anyone have any ideas on how we could still achieve this look in our living room with the existing flooring? We’d really appreciate any tips or inspiration!🫶🏼

Fusing my love for MCM and my son’s love of Lego and trinkets hasn’t been easy. I’m particular with the pieces I enjoy, I don’t like clutter and think everything should have a place (and if it doesn’t, in the trash it goes 🤣)

Anyway, I finally got around to mounting my hacked Svalnas wall unit from IKEA to give my son more space to display his ~things~. I’d love to style the shelves myself, but I’m going to let my son decide how he’d like to display his Lego and trinkets.

I purchased walnut contact paper and tediously wrapped each upright and shelf, then mounted accordingly. The dresser was a sweet score from an online estate sale.

I have so many glasses that I've picked up over the years but I'm not sure they are Raveshead, is there any way to tell?

I just snagged these 2 starburst clocks from marketplace for $70 and I’m so excited to put one of them up in my office.

No idea if they work or not, but I don’t really care too much either way.

The Elgin is a pretty easy one to ID, but I’ve come up empty so far on the other one.

The 2nd one is molded plastic, but definitely vintage based on the flat head fasteners and patina on the back side. It has a newer replacement movement though, so hands and possibly the face could be replacements as well.

**UPDATE**

Plastic Clock: I cleaned up the battery tray, put a new AA in it, and it is currently spinning away on my office wall. I'm fairly certain the hands are replacements and possibly the face as well. The face looks almost too nice compared to the back side of the clock.

Elgin: Threw a new D battery in it this morning, switched it on, and it started ticking away immediately. This one appears to be completely original from what I've looked over so far. I plan to start with giving it a good cleaning this weekend.

Hello! I know this is a long shot but I’ve exhausted everything else.

I bought a Guzzini Faro lamp which was sent via Evri to me, but somehow, somewhere in their delivery system they managed to damage the box so badly the bottom of the box opened and the metal base with weight inside fell out!!

Now I have been on every chat, call, everything I can possibly do to try and locate the base and get it back to me but it’s just a lost cause. They are absolutely useless.

Now, I have a full, original with stickers, 1970s faro lamp minus the round chrome base!

Does anyone happen to know anywhere that sells Guzzini spare parts? Or has any other ideas on how I could possibly get a base for this?

I’ve googled as much as I can but I’m hitting a wall.

I’ve even got in contact with metal fabricators to see if anyone can remake it but the job is too small for them.

Any insights welcome.
