Considering the Eames coffee table: Oak or Walnut (my carpet is a dark brown I reckon)

Ok, I found this.... what do you all think? And this:

No worries, that Stockholm series is very close to what I am looking for, but many of the other choices are too expensive for me... BTW I bought the Ph5 lamp from Light + Form Concepts at 341 Balestier, bargained it down to $300, energy saving 11W bulb included. Now the main thing is the dining table.... sigh....

Thanks I like it! But I need a dining table ? Will probably buy the the $245 Bjursta if I can't find something else.. Very VFM

I can't spend much But I saw a display Kawaguchi table 160 cm table for about 1600... I may get a Calligaris Baron 130 extendable.

Sorry left.... I like the Eames dining table, but it's out of my budget Sigh... Back to the ikea Bjursta extendable table for now... Will start my own blog soon so I won't clog up yours, cheers!

Thanks, am at Lorgans ... Nice stuff but I have to see if I can afford the table..

Most of the stuff is from Lush. It's called the Tomoko Bench... should be under $650. But you need to wait two months for delivery...

Very nice blog, I intend to get a retro theme too... May I know where you bought your PH5 light and dining chairs? Thanks

Thanks I did see the retro clocks on ebay too. About $120 delivered. The lights are the main thing... I have also bought a few items:

And some retro clocks: And perhaps some radios too?

Hi friends It's a bit embarrassing, that I only amassed enough $$ to get a place when I now qualify for Eldershield... but anyway, I will embark on a renovation of a "mickey mouse" sized place soon and I hope to post pics in the Blog section. In the mean time, I hope to get some ideas on where to get certain items I need. Essentially, I will be going for a 70s/ mid-century retro theme, and will use much of Poul Henningsen, Hans Wegner's design ideas to make a small pad with a nice area for my Home Theatre system. Right now I am looking for lamps / chairs and other furniture to make this theme a reality. Can anyone advise on where I can source for these: In Black if possible, thanks. - PH5 ceiling lamp (replica - can't afford the real thing...) - Hans Wegner Retro Ceiling lamp:
