    Make me an offer


    Check out the pics. Send me a note if you want more info. Make me an offer.

    Two thoughts come to mind here:

    1. You know what would be really useful here? A size. Even if it was just a general idea of whether this is cut for a stick or a walrus.
    2. Am I making an offer on the dress itself, or for the time of the person wearing the dress? ‘Cause that dress is kind of skanktacular, and if I read “Make me an offer” with a sort of Mae West voice going on in my head, it takes on a completely different meaning.

    Matching Antique Side Tables – $100


    Two identical side tables, stamped with “Mersman 7429” on the underside. Mersman was a high-quality furniture manufacturer, and these pieces are a testament to that. There are a few scratches on top, noticeable to the sharp observer, and the legs could use a little cleaning up, but they are in really decent shape overall. I bought them at an antique dealer, but they don’t fit with the height of my other living room furniture, so I need to pass them on to someone else who will enjoy them!

    They are in the colonial revival style, but could easily pass for mid-century modern if you swapped out the hardware.

    25″h x 15.25″w x 22.5″d

    $100, but I am open to other offers – just email me!

    I’m just guessing here, but is there any chance they don’t fit with the height of the rest of your living room furniture because they’re made for a dollhouse? (Yes, that was the original size of the image in the listing.)

    Scratches noticeable to the sharp observer who also happens to have a telescope. Or a microscope. Whichever is funnier.

    Bedspread and matching drapes – $60


    Queen size bedspread $25. Two pair of matching drapes. $35 Full length with valance. One pair for double window and one pair for single window. Cash only please.

    There isn’t much wrong with the listing itself. I’m just stunned that the bedspread and matching full-length drapes also match the wallpaper. I mean, it’s a nice pattern and all, but haven’t these people ever heard of moderation in design? It looks like someone vomited an English country garden on every surface of the room.

    If I stayed in this room I think I would end up like the poor woman in The Yellow Wallpaper. But The Seafoam Green and Pink Wallpaper just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
