Alright so I am very fond of Mid-Century design.

I don't stop talking about it. I spend most of my free time looking at design blogs and watching documentaries about designers and such.

For the past week I have been really concerned about what to set my TV on in my new apartment.

Right now our TV is on a fire place mantel.

Our new home doesn't have a mantel. So I was not sure what our option was going to be.

I work at a local thrift store and we received two credenzas that were not quite up to my liking.

I thought HEY maybe I could do something with them, paint them, stain them, add drawer pulls...

Our bed is right in front of a window that looks out towards a moderately busy street.

My boyfriend tried to wake me up asking "what is that outside"

Our neighbors tend to be a little trashy, a little obnoxious, so I just figured they were up to one of their antics.

So once I rubbed my eyes awake and put my glasses on I saw it.

The back was facing our window and I could tell that it was the credenza of my dreams.

I hollered out the window and claimed my treasure!

The neighbors claimed this lovely piece of Danish wood was too large for their house and wanted to get rid of it!

I googled mid-century credenza and found a twin.

Looks like the maker is Rosengren Hansen.

I haven't found too much info on his work...but it is indeed teak and Danish!

ALSO

I don't know if you can tell from this picture but this piece is about 10 feet long!

Whoa boy.

The fine furniture gods shinned down upon me that fine morning.
