I have a very eclectic style when it comes to room design. But lately I have been really drawn to mid-century modern pieces. We recently moved into a new apartment and we had to come up with some creative storage and furniture solutions. I had been itching to try out some DIY pinterest projects, so I set to work. I built my own coffee table using a pre-cut piece of wood from Home Depot that I stained and some hairpin legs I bought on Etsy. I also did a couple more Ikea hack projects with that mid-century modern flare. Now I feel like my eye is constantly drawn towards authentic mid-century pieces that I see in pictures.
While browsing listings on Zillow and Trulia, I have seen some truly interesting (read: outdated) furniture. But every once in a while I'll spot a great mid-century piece in the background that I would love to revamp. I'm tempted to contact the homeowners to see if they'd be willing to sell me the piece.

| The green vintage recliner is an awesome piece, it would need to be reupholstered obviously. |

| Love the hutch in the background. |
 |
| An entire bedroom set, I would love to get my hands on this and make it magnificent. |
 |
| I think I saw something on pinterest a while back about re-purposing an old tv cabinet. |

I think the call would go something like this: "Hello, I was looking at pictures of your house online, and I'm not interested in your house because it is honestly overpriced and badly staged, but I did notice a specific piece of furniture I would like to buy." Homeowner: "Is this a joke?"...Click.
Would any of you consider calling the homeowner to score that perfect piece of furniture?
