Pet peeve & cool tables

If you follow the link you will see that they have listed this as "50's Deco End Tables," Now here's my beef, Art Deco lasted from the 20's and waned in the early 40's.  Some might say it ended before that to be replaced with "Futurism" and what is now referred to as Mid-Century Modern.  It sticks in my craw when in the age of the internet, where research materials are readily available 24/7, that people constantly mislabel their items for sale.  This is NOT Art Deco, those Gothic Revival pendant lights are NOT Art Deco, that Nagel print from the 80's is NOT Art Deco!  Do a little legwork people!  Don't get me started on people calling all vintage plastic, "Bakelite."

Behold, the Asian Thomas Kincaid!

Drift on, Driftwood, drift on...

Your one-stop shop for all of your driftwood needs!

Delightful, D'lovely

This little early 20th century charmer would be lovely in your boudoir!

Paper maché Bandito!

In one of the shots, this mask looks like Danny Trejo.

A bird in a frame is worth 2 in the...Wait, how does that go?

With a little elbow grease and new frames I think these 2 could be pretty chic.  Or if not chic, then kitschy-cool.

Ain't nothin' in the world like a big-eyed girl...

Don't ask me why, but I sure do like this weird, mod little piece of wall art.

Oooooo, witchy woman...

While I don't think that was the intent of the carver this does look an awful lot like those old plastic Halloween masks...

They are hideous, yet I cannot look away...

Phooooone hoooooome...

I love vintage telephones.  I think since cell phones have become people's main means of telecommunication the art of the kitschy collectors phone will soon be lost...

 
Nothin' says class like a beer can phone!

 
How can we make this phone even less portable?   I know, we'll make the base out of solid rock!


 
I remember when having a Mickey phone or a Snoopy phone was the coolest thing ever! 

Speaking of Mickey...


 
And the new school of cartoon telephones...


 
This is an odd one.


 
Another unusual vintage phone. 


 
What do you want to bet that this sweet baby was made in 1976 for the Bicentennial?
