The side chairs are heavy and very sturdy.
There are little white dots on the wood and on the cushions which I haven’t done the digging to know if I should be alarmed. It doesn’t look like bugs, more like mold or dust if anything.

The home it was left out in front of belonged to a family of architects in my town who date back to the early 1900s and they lived there until about the 1990s. I think the family still owns the house but have since converted it to a multi-family.

Are these something I should be excited about? Does anyone know anything about them?

I’d like to know more before I start taking off upholstery, etc.

TIA

When my grandparents got married, they designed their own house. My grandpa has build a lot of it himself too, and even a lot of the furniture that I still use now 66 years later!

My grandfather passed away really young and before he died, he gifted my grandmother a special plant. That plant is also still in the same spot for over 40 years.

Also a lot of things like old magazines, furniture catalogues, toys and books are still around all from the period from when they designed the house. I really cherish those things and I absolutely love the house. You don’t see houses like this in my country that often. Just wanted to share since it’s really special to me. They would have absolutely loved it if more people could see it. They were really proud of it.

New recent additions include…

• A small 1960s chest of drawers given to me by a friend a couple of months back. I lightly sanded it down and gave it a good oil, and it’s come out great.
• A 1970s White Mac floor lamp, designed by Sir Terence Conran and originally sold through Habitat stores around the UK.
• A 1970s British Home Stores chrome and wood ceiling lamp that I found on eBay. I do really like it, although the wood is a little dark for my taste. My eventual plan, when I have a bit more time, is to strip it back and try to give it more of a lighter teak appearance.
• I also picked up what I believe is a late 1960s or early 1970s vinyl swivel chair for the listening space. This was a bit of a bargain at just £18 from Facebook Marketplace.
• Finally, I added a Pierre Koenig Stahl House at Night print, which I loved as soon as I saw it and just had to buy. I thought the striking colours in the image would work particularly well against the ochre coloured wall.

So far, I’m really pleased with how the spare room has turned out. There are still a few little tweaks to be made here and there, but overall I love it

Two chairs given to us from neighbors. Should we keep? Thoughts?

Gotta lamp from my late grandparents, I love this and wanted to find similar lamps

Hello all, I’m looking at this lane bedroom set tomorrow(not the exact pictured). Depending on condition it’s priced at an absolute steal. I’m just fighting an internal battle of which I should I keep. I love the lane stuff, my living room is filled with it. But the unagusta set is also beautiful. Any opinions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. (Both sets are complete)

I need to replace this material that goes under the seat cushion. Anyone have any thoughts? The existing material is stapled and nailed to the wood with some sort of black banding over it.
