I will take the desk. Vader would totally have that in his death star office.
I love the shelves and that couch! I could use the shelves for my library, where I'm planning a build-in, and like carolynapplebee they're my favorite color.
Sigh. Maybe one day...
I just LOVE that couch!!!! I would definitely put my bids on that!!!!
the bed! if I get a guest room to go with it, anyway.
That is an awesome ceiling lamp. I'd choose that.
I'm a bowl-o-maniac. No question about what I'd choose. Those colours are simply gorgeous.
The desk, with the 'Stabile' 2nd, and the ceiling lamp to finish the room.
Desk.
i would take the couch and the desk.
The shelving system for sure. Not my favorite color, but could totally work with it, and its not something you see every day.
Even though it's probably the thing I have the *least* need for, I'd say the bed. What a beauty.
Second choice would be the green shelves, because those I could definitely put to use.
couch!
I'd take the LIGHT FIXTURE. I already have the sofa but it's not labeled Thayer-Coggin. Hmmmmm.
The desk. 'nuff said.
Sofa please!
The bowls, definitely the bowls.
Another one here that would go for the bowls!
Is it possible to get nice enamel ware anymore, or is it only vintage that's left? Enamel ware is so much nicer than plastic.
