Mannequin

We are currently working on the newest incarnation of our mannequin, whom we rescued from an alley several years back.

When we first got her, she just kinda hung out in our house or on our patio with no real purpose. She was the yucky lady who would kinda freak people out if they had never seen her before.

Her 2nd incarnation was Mrs Zarn. You know the Zarn from Land of the Lost? Well, we covered her in glow in the dark stars. Not so much fun in the day time....but momentarily fun to look at at night when you turn the lights off.

Incarnation #3. We have just finished pulling off all of the glow in the dark stars, and have given her a coat of primer in preparation for the chalkboard paint. She will become our new home message board and artistic surface.

Yay! Pics to come!!!

Lane Side Table/Console. Vintage Mid Century



Too much stuff in every room of our house. Its time to pare down. This would be great as a TV stand. It would hold a decent sized LCD Flat Panel, and is deep enough to hold a regular old school TV, probably a 27" confortably.

ALL ORIGINAL!!
Here is a cool vintage console cabinet.
Color and finish are gorgeous.
Woven door fronts are in perfect shape, magnetic closing mechanism.
Drawer is on a metal glide - but has become detached from it. Still works perfectly.
Top surface has some areas where the finish has been damaged, and the wood has darkened. The corner also shows some minor damage.
"LANE" stamped inside drawer. Serial numbered on back panel.

Dimensions: 26" wide x 18" deep x 22" high
Asking $85 OBO
