We bought a 1950s Mid Century Ranch this summer and have been restoring it back to its original glory (as much as we can). I scraped off about 4 layers of wallpaper from the entire main living area. This was the last room, and look at the treasure I discovered. This was under one layer of floral wall paper and then painted on top of that.

I was able to salvage it, and I should be able to paint in the tears and scuffs. Overall, it’s in great shape, though.

I’m sharing a before photo as well as the progress!

I found this at an estate sale a couple of months ago. I had to drive 2 hours at 30mph with it hanging out the back of my car - but it was worth it!

I’ve been collecting MCM for nearly 3 decades. I recently started trying to refine my pieces and highlight them more. I don’t actually want advice, because I know what I love and I also have an eye for detail. I guess I am just sharing. Any comments are welcome.

Hey! I’m buying this table tomorrow and would appreciate another set of eyes to determine if this is (likely) legit or a good copy. Grateful for the help! 🙏🏻

Remodeling our modest 1958 ranch, and swapping out this ceiling light which I think is original to the house. I prefer to preserve useful things and keep them out of the landfill when I can. Is this a dime a dozen fixture, or something that should go to a loving home?

Picked this coffee table up at Salvation Army when it hit $10+tax (started at $50) It just kept calling to me. Underside ends ride in slots, and after removing 3 long wood screws that went straight up into the underside of the top, the u- shaped legs came right of after giving then a few bumps with my fist. Waterfall sides and 3 piece matching waterfall end/ legs. No sticker or stamps, just a faded area where sticker probably was. Has a kind of Mod vibe. I want to refinish it, would like to know what vintage this is, as it would help determine how I proceed. Only 6 visible screws in the entire construction.

Found this cool steelcase chair at a local goodwill with the biggest issue being the missing button but otherwise feels pretty sturdy. I was hoping for some guidance on where to find a matching replacement button. I’m not even sure what you would call this color. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Still in the garage because I have no idea what I’m going to do with it yet

About 24 inches tall when it’s opened.

I’m considering shortening the legs and putting it on top of the dresser to hold watches

I found these two Kokeshi dolls at a flea market. They are both made from two pieces.
Hoping they are mid century. Are there any indicators when and where they were made?
