A Phenomenal 63-year-old Vintage Home, Lifetime Accumulation!

Welcome to the Mitchells' house! This lovely home is a one-owner time capsule, bought new in 1963. Mr. Mitchell was a furniture salesman locally, and Mrs. Mitchell was a very beloved teacher in Peoria. They both enjoyed lots of hobbies, as evidenced by the huge amount of "stuff" in this house!

First, the furniture is AMAZING! We have true vintage 1950s-70s living room and bedroom pieces in pretty decent shape. The lamps are fabulous too, including a rare gold Yasha Heifetz! Lane, Mainline by Hooker, Kroehler, and many good solid pieces directly from the famous midcentury Phoenix furniture store, Lou Regester! Also in the living room are two HUGE and HEAVY speckled green Gainey pots.

ART!!! We have wonderful art here, bought many years ago, some with original 50s and 60s receipts! Mary Cassat, He Neng, Hayter, plus some other very nice prints. There are also some fantastic vintage early 1960s travel posters that are drool-worthy! (We're working on gently flattening them now.)

The Book Room Is PACKED with countless vintage art supplies, 8 tracks, cassettes, and records. The books are pretty fun to look at. Do you need vintage left-handed school scissors? We got you. How about some 1960s heavy duty paperclips and staples? Again, come see us. Need vintage colored pencils, crayons, paper? Yep. You will also find a 1980s Apple IIe computer and an older Mac, plus related items. They turn on and do stuff! Technics stereo equipment and other miscellaneous electronics are in there too.

The Sewing/Craft Room is a vintage crafter's dream!! It has a beautiful 1950s sewing table, complete with a Singer that fired up the second I tried her out! There are vintage 1970s macrame supplies like jute, books, rings. TONS of vintage sewing notions, books and bits and bobs! Fabric! The craft supplies are screaming 60s and 70s and many are mint in package! In that room is also the gorgeous 1950s maple dresser, desk and chair, plus the blonde Kroehler desk. Need yarn? Got tons, make me an offer for it all!

The other bedroom has The Orange Chair, plus the pole lamp with 2 matching smaller lamps. It also has one of my favorite pieces, the wood and metal school chair, plus complimentary desk. These are probably 50s or 60s, and they are AMAZING. Also, we have a twin bed set with original matching night table. It's extraordinary, so very 60s/70s!

The Master Bedroom has the Mainline by Hooker highboys and lowboy dressers. We have vintage shoes, a lovely fold-top vanity, some great purses, wig heads, a pretty handmade chest, vintage bathroom items, plus the usual bedroom stuff. Clothes in the closet are decent, a few fun pieces!

Mrs. Mitchell collected many little things that we think she gave out as little rewards to her students....and there are LOTS OF THEM! The smalls and knickknacks here are incredible! Not many dating past the 80s, in fact there are many "dimestore" 70s/80s items you'll love! The little vintage doodads will make you smile. There is also glass and a really cool set of China.

Make sure you go out to the garage, because there are some GREAT items out there! We have a lovely big old wooden desk, a metal 50s school desk, vintage Samsonite round table and chairs, plus other sturdy metal folding chairs, the original house screen door, more smalls, TONS of old school books, supplies, tools and hardware, a cool bike, fantastic vintage metal cabinets, 1970s greenware, more craft stuff....make sure to spend a lot of time out there! Oh, don't miss the Buffalo herd....

Kitchen stuff is good basic items, a washer and dryer, many items still in their original boxes...and the mint condition "Horse Care Products" promotional coffee maker...I mean, come ON!

Outside we have the original-to-the-house early 60s aluminum folding chairs, needing new webbing...we have pictures of the backyard here with them! But the BEST outside item is the vintage 1960s metal patio set...EIGHT CHAIRS, the table, and the matching couch! They need new cushions but you never find this kind of set! Also original to the house!

I'm so excited to share this house with you!
