Tim's Surpirse

I went to San Jose for a week and when I got back Tim had surprised me with some new furniture from Retro Row in Long Beach. Thanks to our friend Chantal (she has similar taste as us and lives in Long Beach), who told us about the LB Antique Market and Retro Row, we are now addicted to furniture shopping. Tim went with his parents and he fit all of the items shown below in a Ford Escape with three people. His dad is a master packer! The table was on the roof and does not have a single scratch!


Syd calls this her "Time Out Chair" , but she looks pretty happy to be there. The colors in the seat cushion match our couches great. We think this one is walnut. The storage drawer is perfect for our computers. It had a piece of tinted glass that fit on top, but Tim is having a piece of clear glass made for it.
I think these speakers (a set of two) were supposed to be for Tim's dad, but somehow they ended up in our house. If Tim likes them enough, he will find a way to keep them. We are thinking these would be nice out on our patio once we get some furniture out there.

This is our dining room table. Teak or walnut? We cannot remember. The two side panels slide under the middle panel. You have to see it. It slides so smooth and the side panels just vanish. It looks great with four chair when it is folded up. We need to find 6 more chairs now or a set of ten. Pasadena Antique Market here we come!!
