T's Ten, Week of 2/9

Now that we've all had some time to play in the snow and develop a bit of cabin fever, let's get back to business. The February Flash Sale is still on and running through the 28th. 15-30% OFF storewide! Take a closer look at my favorite pieces this week, and be sure to take advantage of all the great deals going on!

1. This trestle table is huge, so for those of you looking for a larger scale dining table, this one may be for you. The table is made of wormy chestnut from a Pennsylvania grainery, and dates to the 1800s. It can certainly fit a large group, so come check it out. Dealer #150-C, Trestle Table, $1795.

 2. You're going to need some dining chairs to go with the trestle table, and this set (four available) is certainly worth considering. This set of brown leather chairs are from Mitchell Gold, so you know the quality is going to be exceptional. And although they have a modern look, they will pair well with any dining table you choose. Dealer #150-C, Set of 4 Mitchell Gold Dining Chairs, $995.

 3. Next up, this industrial-meets-retro sofa is too cool! I personally think this would look great in a bar or restaurant setting for a little extra seating near a hostess stand, but if you're not in the restaurant biz it would also function as a sofa in a more casual living room setting just as easily. Throw some pillows in the mix, and you're good to go! Dealer #83, Vintage Sofa, $350. 30% OFF during flash sale!

 4. I've personally been lusting after these end tables ever since they came in the shop! I love the look. They are definitely unusual--Hollywood Regency meets Mid-Century for sure! And if you took them a step further, and gave them a little lacquer finish, they would really shine! Please scoop them up so I don't have to!:) Dealer #AE1, Mid-Century End Tables, $245. 20% OFF during flash sale!

 5. I'm also loving this Victorian-era oak and stick magazine/paper rack. I think what I like so much is the delicacy of the design in the middle. I love pieces with interesting details, and this rack certainly is lovely. A perfect gift for any readers out there. #24, Victorian Magazine/Paper Rack, $295. 20% OFF during flash sale!

 6. This petite dresser is really sweet, don't you think? It would be the perfect accompaniment to a little girl's room, or in a girly dressing room. In the French Provincial style, the lavender hue with gold detailing completes the look. #OMD, Custom Painted French Provincial Dresser, $165. 15% OFF during flash sale!

 7. If you're following us on Instagram, then you may recognize this piece. Not following us yet?!? Find us @oddfellowsantiques for regular updates. This is a lovely carved, glass front bookcase from Germany and is one of my favorite pieces in the shop right now. If I had a bigger house, this would definitely come home with me. I love the look of the darker wood, as well as the carved details. Perfection! Dealer #44, German Glass Front Bookcase, $895. 30% OFF during flash sale!

 8. This 60s Chevy tailgate is so cool! You'll want to hang it on the wall for a fun retro vibe. Or if you're feeling extra creative, why not use this as a coffee table top, or a headboard in a child's bedroom? The possibilities are endless, and the result will be a unique, retro look! Dealer #02, 60s Chevy Tailgate, $145. 20% OFF during flash sale!

9. The flashiest of mirrors! This Venetian mirror with blue and clear beveled glass packs a lot of punch, don't you think? It reminds me of sapphires and diamonds! I'd love to pair this mirror with some crazy patterned wallpaper in a bathroom. Dealer #08, Venetian Mirror, $195. 20% OFF during flash sale!

 10. Lately I've been feeling the urge to begin stocking up on more vintage barware and fancy libations. No more PBR for this lady! A sign of getting older, perhaps? Or maybe it's just a justification for buying this vintage barcart. I love the wood grain, juxtaposed with the black veneer on the inside. It's a perfect size for those of us with smaller homes, and the glassware I've been collecting over the years would really shine on top of this piece! Dealer #297, Bar Cart, $240. 20% OFF during flash sale!

T's 10, Week of 1/19

Hope you guys are doing well this week! The first order of business is to remind you to start following us on Instagram if you haven't already. While I will still maintain the blog, our Instagram account will showcase photos with a bit more frequency. Under the search field, just enter "oddfellowsantiques," click follow, and you're all set! You can also see our account by clicking here. And now, for this week's picks!

1. This Eastern European milk jug is so sweet! I love the hand painted floral motif, and the colors are happy and bright. This would make the perfect decorative object in a kitchen. Dealer #44, Milk Jug, $95.

 2. This armchair has a great look about it. The upholstery is super soft and the nailhead trim gives it a sophisticated edge. I also like the square back juxtaposed with the rounded arms--it gives it an interesting look. And the price is an added bonus! Dealer #444, Upholstered Armchair, $325.

  3. This globe is amazing! Its large scale makes it a pretty unique decorative object and will definitely be a conversation piece. Globes like this one are made of steel, and were used for military training (usually circa WWII) or in some cases, used for mapping out flight plans . How cool, right? Dealer #NYA, Steel Military Globe, $750.

4. I've never seen a tulip base table quite like this one before. The chrome edges and base provide an industrial look to an otherwise mid-century style. The inlay wood pieces are an added bonus. I love chrome and wood together. Because its scale rests somewhere between a coffee table and dining table, I think this guy would work quite nicely as a side table or if paired with lower seating, could function as a game table. Dealer #83, Tulip Base Side Table, $495.

 5. I've had this lucky elephant on my mind ever since the dealer brought it in. It is just like those large garden stools I love, but on a much smaller scale. It would be perfect as a bookend! Dealer #076, Good Luck Elephant, $38.

 6. If you're in need of a small, narrow accent table this one might do the trick. Not all houses have entryways, like mine, so I would use this table right beside our front door to catch keys, coins, and the like. Dealer #OMD, Hand Painted Accent Table, $75.

 7. I love live edge wood slabs, and this console table made locally in Asheville is really calling my name. The live edge wood is cherry, and has a great industrial metal base. I would use this as a bar top for our dining room, but it would also be perfect behind a sofa or used in an entryway. Dealer #150-C, Console Table with Cherry Top, $425.

 8. These aluminum chairs are literally the best deal we've got in the store right now. There are about 15-20 of them remaining and would be put to perfect use outside on a deck or patio. I love the classic, retro feel of them too. And the pricing on these are seriously great you guys! Dealer #02, Aluminum Chairs, $28 ea or 4 for $85!!, 6 for $120, 8 for $160. 

 9. This mid-century coffee table and matching end tables have gotten a lot of attention at the shop, and with good reason. The tiered coffee table is really cool, and all of the tables feature a portion of inlaid Italian tiles. I love the contrast of the stark white tiles with the teakwood. Dealer #AE1, Coffee table $345, Pair of End Tables, $345.

 10. This French parlour chair is really lovely and is the perfect accent to any room. The velvety blue fabric with the gold painted frame look great together. And good news, it is newly reduced in price! Dealer #03, French Parlour Chair, $295.

Lamp Roundup

It's been a while since I've featured some of the lamps we've got in the shop, so I figured a roundup was in order! Lamps are a personal weakness of mine, and I'm almost always switching out one lamp for another. Plus now that we're settling in for a bit of winter hibernation, lamps will keep it cozy and bright indoors during the shorter days.Keep in mind that these six are just a small selection of what we've got right now, so be sure to come on by to see the rest.

 1. Marquetry lamp, featuring varying types of inlaid wood. Booth #133, $225.
 

 2. Machine Age Masterwork Lamp. Booth #NYA, $195.
 

 3. Custom made wine jug lamp, two available.Booth #444, $195.

 4. Vintage Regency style lamp, Booth #83, $175.
 

5. Chalkware Buddha lamp, Dealer #076, $178.

 6. Neo-Classical style lamp with brass and onyx detailing, Booth #24, $295.

T's Ten, Week of 12/22

Happy Holidays friends!! I hope you are all spending lots of time with loved ones and are celebrating the season with lots of cheer. My gift to you-one last T's Ten before we enter into the new year. Enjoy!

1. This wrought iron table is lovely on its own, but when our dealer Kathleen Gibbs got a hold of it, she went a step further, creating an assemblage of found objects. And while Kathleen has been in the antique business for years, she is also an amazing artist as well. This table is the perfect blend of those two talents combining, and I think it's quite lovely! Dealer #133, Assemblage Table, $595.

 .

 2. I'm currently on the hunt for a side table. Not too big, not too small. Not too fancy, not too simple. Perhaps you've been in the same predicament before? This round mid-century era table is calling my name. I love the two-tier element and it isn't too big or bulky for the space I need, and it's understated which I love. Dealer #076, Mid-Century Side Table, $238.

3. And while we are on the subject of my side table needs, there's this option too! It's got more of an industrial feel to it, and was originally used in a salon, likely as a station to do someone's nails. Plus it has a working light attached to it. I think it would be such a cool bedside table. Dealer #150, Salon Cart, $195.

 4. I'm really digging this chair. Made by the modern furnishings company Blu Dot, this chair is super comfy and the grey wool upholstery adds a sophisticated touch. I also like the metal rack underneath, perfect for holding a book or magazines! Dealer #83, Blu Dot Chair, $395.

 5. This table!! One day, when I've got my own personal dream home situation going on, I'd like to have a table like this. The picture doesn't do it justice, but I wanted to make sure you could see the base. How cool, right? It gives an otherwise traditional oak piece a more modern look. Dealer #AE1, Round Oak Table, $1150.

 6. This French baker's rack is the real deal. Can't you just imagine this sitting in a Parisian bakery, filled with pastries? Its wrought iron construction with brass detailing is stunning. Even better, this piece is signed. There are a lot of reproduction French items out there these days, so a piece like this is rare to come by! Dealer #24, French Baker's Rack, $995.

7. I'm loving this sofa right now. It's the perfect size because it won't take up much room but can seat several people comfortably. The fabric is a nice neutral herringbone twill, which adds a nice texture. Dealer #444, 4 Cushion Sofa, $750.

8. I'm a sucker for these kinds of letters, especially because of the bright red color. Perfect to use on a bookcase, or on top of a credenza for a bit of graphic punch. Dealer #02, Red Letters, $20 ea. 

 9. This French oak chest is one of my favorite pieces from the last container load. It's got a lovely marble top, and the oak wood grain is just gorgeous. I love its functionality because you can hide away items in the drawers. If not for storage, I think it would be super fun if retrofitted into a small counter or bar. #44, French Oak Chest, $995.

 10. I'm really digging these grey dining chairs. They are Henredon from the 60s, and I especially appreciate the updates this dealer has made to the chairs. They were probably really nice as is, but the dealer has really put fresh, new life into them, don't you think? The modern fabric juxtaposed with the custom paint job really makes them stand out. Dealer #800, Set of 4 Henredon Chairs with Custom Paint and Fabric.

New Dealer Sneak Peek

That's right! A new Oddfellows dealer has arrived. Please help us welcome Jeff, dealer #24, a veteran to the business. Jeff specializes in it all--primitives, folk art, early American, European, with a little vintage thrown in too. He's got a great eye and his knowledge of antiques and furniture is impressive. Come on by soon to see Jeff's new spot!

Oddfellows Guift Guide 2013

Hi guys! I know it's been a while, but between the container's arrival and the holidays, I've been one busy girl! The holidays are definitely in full swing, too. Last night began the first of many holiday parties we're attending, and it's certainly beginning to look festive in Asheville. As I rush to cookie swaps, gatherings with friends and family, and holiday pop up shops, it's a good thing I work at Oddfellows, because almost all of my gifts for loved ones this year will be bought here and I won't have to worry about fighting the crowds at the mall, or worry that online purchases will arrive on time. It's a nice way to support a local, small business while at the same time giving unique gifts that can't be found at the big box stores. With that in mind, I've put together a little gift guide for you guys. This certainly doesn't encompass all of the fun gifts you can find here, but it is a good start! 

 Images Clockwise, Left to Right:
1. Calendars are a classic gift giving choice, but this particular calendar is extra special. These are handmade by local artist Kreh Mellick. I could go on and on about how talented Kreh is, and her volume of work is really lovely. This calendar is filled with colorful images that will keep you delighted throughout 2014. #83, 2014 calendars by Kreh Mellick, $16 ea.

2. These stone crock bottles from England are another sweet choice, especially if you give them with a small bouquet of flowers. I'm especially digging the ones with the labels on them that advertise ginger beer. How cool, right? #44, Stone Crock Bottles, $24 for labeled bottles, $18 for unlabeled. 

3. Give the gift of good luck! These horseshoes would make great stocking stuffers. #44 Lucky Horseshoes, $5 ea.

4. I love pillows, and Ethan would probably suggest that we have too many. But you can never have too many pillows. This dealer carries an assortment of them, all down-filled, and I think they would make a nice gift for a certain sister of mine that has recently bought her first "grown up" sofa. #444 Assortment of Down-Filled Pillows, $59 ea.
  

 5. These gnarly little gargoyles from England would pair nicely with any Grinches on your gift-giving list! Or really for anyone with a sense of humor or love of the quirkier side of life. #44, Gargoyles starting at $32.

6. I really love the idea of giving someone a piece of stained glass. We have plenty of them in the shop, especially after the latest container load. They vary from simple, modern lines and colors to the more ornate, intricately designed pieces. Guys, the ladies love stained glass! #44, 03, AE1 Stained Glass Windows, range of prices starting at $75 and up. 

 7. You can't go wrong with vintage globes. They're fun for all ages and are one of those objects that can be integrated into any kind of decor with ease. Also a perfect gift for any travel lovers out there! #NYA Vintage globes starting at $24.

8. This collection of note cards and notebooks are perfect for the vintage lovers! Handmade by local artist Jon Arge, each piece is constructed from vintage imagery found in old magazines, books, and the like. Each one has its own sense of humor somehow. I'm particularly fond of the note cards featuring glamorously vintage men and women posing in front of black and white interiors. #297, Found Imagery by Jon Arge, starting at $3.

9. And finally, a selection of French demijohns for the friend that can appreciate their simplicity and charm. Use them as vases for flowers, or as decorative objects scattered about the house. Also, if you know a brewer or winemaker, these are just the ticket for storing crafted concoctions. #44, French Demijohns, $65-95. 

Hopefully this little roundup is giving you some inspiration. But there's certainly more where that came from! Just have a look at the photo below, of the front room, taken just yesterday. So many good things to be had! Come see us soon!:)
