Sellers Remorse

Sellers Remorse

Mel and I have been vintage home decor dealers for many years. There are times when we look back and say “why did we sell that”?!?! Now that we are looking at moving into a new house (once we find it), we need to find more items to fill it. We thought we would include some photos of the items we regret selling and would entertain an opportunity at getting them back!

This fantastic yellow chair was so comfortable! It went really well with our other space age items in our collection.

These were an Alameda Antique Fair find and we jumped at the opportunity to own them. These could have been great end tables lighted from the inside.

We used this in Mel’s apartment before we furnished it. It was our temporary couch and was surprisingly comfortable. Another selling mistake. It was made by Chromcraft.

This is our largest regret! This 5 Piece Milo Baughman Thayer Coggin Lighted Hanging Bar was to die for! We wouldn’t be upset if the new owners wanted to sell it back to us.

This bar!!!

It even had drawers for storage.

Space Age Table Set/Chess Table

Have you ever seen an ultra cool coffee table/chest like this!?!?

We miss this Modeline mod circle floor lamp with shelf too!

This little Philco gem was such a cool little set.

This was the largest Letterman ribbon print we had ever seen.

WHY?!?! We sold this Vladimir Kagan Sectional too! What is wrong with us!?!?

Because we don’t have enough of these. This Carlo of Hollywood Buddha piece was large and interesting and still had vibrant colors.

This was our first classic car. It is a 1955 Ford Fairlane sedan. I know it has four doors, but it was clean and it was fun to cruise around in.

And lastly, our 1962 Ford Econoline. This thing was my dream car. I have always been a van man. She went to a good home, but I miss her.

  1. I don’t blame you for missing these gorgeous items. The Ford Econoline is to die for. Please do a follow-up if you find or repurchase anything on the list.

  3. I can see why you have sellers’ remorse but unless one has a McMansion, we can’t keep ALL our cool finds! I’m sure you will find even cooler pieces for your new abode 🙂

  4. Oh man, you got rid of a lot of cool stuff. I get it though; being a vintage seller myself. You can’t keep everything!

  5. Wow! Those are certainly beautiful pieces! I can tell you that if I had bought one of those I wouldn’t want to sell it back. Where do you find these pieces? Nothing like that here in Miami! Can’t wait to see what you do with your new house!!

  6. I understand all too well. We’re also moving/downsizing and I have something you might like for your new place. It’s a beautiful 2 person atomic chaise lounge in perfect condition. If you’d like to know more email me.

    • Thanks Claudia. We have four 16’ PODS containers with the fifties stuff we’re going to decorate our new house with. If we have more room for stuff we’ll reach out if it’s still available.

    You have seller’s remorse, and I have “not buyer’s” remorse! I should have snagged the Ranch Oak dining set you had awhile ago! I really enjoy your site and wish you an awesome 2018 in your new home!
