"The Shop" a Consignment Store in Fremont Indiana


BICENTENNIAL FOLDING ROCKING CHAIR for sale at "The Shop"

I want to share The Shop with you. For the past year I have occasionally stopped in to this homey little shop in Fremont IN and it has come along very well. The owners have done a wonderful job cleaning the place up and outfitting it with the best used stuff I have seen in a while. The Shop has all kinds of items for sale including fresh floral arrangements with the current holiday theme. The prices are just as nice. The Shop features many items for that vintage decorator in Shabby Chic and Country Cottage styles.........but don't stop there they also had some nice Mid-century Modern pieces tucked away here and there. So if MCM is your thing don't hesitate to take a drive to Fremont, Indiana. And....pssst, pssst there are 2 full size Paul McCobb headboards for Calvin framed in stainless steel just waiting for you there. They are open Thursday-Saturday from 10-5 and on Sunday 12-5. And don't forget to tell them, "hello", from the Garage Sale Archeologist.

Paul McCobb Planner Group Desk is Done!




This is a great example of what $20.00 can buy, add about $40.00 in sand paper, stripper and stain and a desk is given a new life. I plan on using this desk for my art work. I'm thinking this desk spent the last few years in a young child's bedroom. The surface looked as though a motor cross had been occurring there on a regular basis. I am guessing a toy car had many adventures there. I had a very difficult time with the surface marks and the walnut stain. The combination meant many hours of sanding and it still has a slight five o'clock shadow. None the less it has a new life and so begins a new story for this Planner Group Desk designed by Paul McCobb.

Paul McCobb Planner Group Desk



Every garage sale season I find something like this and it makes all of it worth it. This is a wonderfully fabulous way cool Paul McCobb Planner Group Desk! It's had a not so good restoration done to it so I'm thinking this will be my summer project. Can I bring it back? I'm hoping so!! The real question is how did a Paul McCobb desk manufactured by Winchedon Furniture in Massachusetts go from a hotel in Shanghai, China to our little Mid-western town?
