Odd Items: Numbered Crystal Collection in homemade glass case

2 words:  LOVE THIS.    We recently dusted it off and rescued it out of a garage.  It probably hasn't seen the light in over 40 years.  We're going to get some more info on it and talk more about it later.



Do you love Vinyl?... Mid Century Pac Bell Record Console with removable Speakers!




If you love vinyl as much as we do you can appreciate the look and sound of Mid-Century phonograghs.  This is a Packard Bell RPC 32 Record Player and stereo in PERFECT CONDITION.  Original tubes, wiring, and all components.

The best part about this unit's design is the adjustable/removable speakers which you can leave slightly open for an atomic space-age look or move around the room for a true surround sound.

Amazing Industrial Wood + Metal Work Tables




Recently we've developed a love for rescuing old rustic hand-made work tables and benches out of garages.  This is our latest available for sale.  It is made of solid wood with a metal covered table top.  This table has seen decades of hard work.  The natural ageing has made this a beautiful piece. 

Uses for vintage industrial tables:

1.  Kitchen Island
2.  TV & Media table
3.  Desk (with the perfect stool of course)
4.  Display table for your store




Here's another favorite... 



We still miss it but are so glad it went to a great home.  Jason at Replenish Products bought if for the new Replenish studio office in Downtown LA.  Jason wants to furnish the office with reclaimed pieces that really speak to the brand.  You should really check out there product.  We've been using the Lavender multi-surface cleaner on our pieces and loving it for everything!

Our Friend, Kevin, in Flea Market Style


Check out the winter 2012 issue of a great magazine, Flea Market Style, in which our friend and customer Kevin Beer is featured.  Flea Market Style profiled Kevin's beautiful living space in West Hollywood.   Kevin is an interior designer and creative artist.  We visited his home earlier this year and were taken by his attention to detail.





A recent trip to Puerto Vallarta reminded us very much of Kevin's aesthetic which feels original, organic, and timeless:

Sometimes you just have to start a blog....



Greetings!  Welcome to our blog!  We have been collecting vintage, antique, ethnic and simply cool things for years.   For the last 2 years we have had our feet on the other side of the door, finding pieces we love (sometimes rescuing them even) and bringing them to light for the perfect person to discover.

We love Patina.  We love rust.  We love stories that exist within the fibers of old stuff....  We love antique, primitive, vintage, mid-century, funky, industrial, hand-made and so much more.... We love helping to achieve the perfect vibe for different spaces.

On our blog we will be showcasing items for sale, sharing insight into our craft,  and posting things that we like, things that inspire us.

If at any time you would like to share something with us or have any questions you can always reach us at Lostfoundcollections@gmail.com

Enjoy!
