weekuf.blogg.se - Drexel heritage furniture bedroom set

See this story from 2009 with EVEN MORE PIECES from the first time we spotted Drexel Plus One furniture.Īnd I more than kinda like this furniture.

See this story from 2011 with photos of a bedroom set IRL.

Kevin told me the catalog images are not so great because the catalog was stored all flattened out wrapped in bubble wrap for many years. There are people who love this 70’s stuff. A set of this was recently broken up on an auction site where opening bid was 150 a piece, before shipping and buyer’s premium. Last few pics are from a bad copy of a catalog that was given to me.

Drawers are wood with 3M Vynil Veneer…not fiberboard, MDF, etc…ĭrexel polled girls via Seventeen magazine, then took their ideas and made this line of furniture. Notice the ‘desk stool’ in green & yellow in the catalog. The finish is a durable 3M plastic ‘coating’ of yellow. Includes: Dresser, Desk (with stool from set), End table, Mirror, Headboard. Add a yellow flowery bedspread and it comes to life… a beanbag chair and you’re all set. It’s not the complete set from Drexel, but enough to start a bedroom in 1970’s style. Basically takes up most of a bedroom anyway.

If you found this, then you might know about this vintage furniture from the blog at Retro Renovation. I put this in storage so these are the last pics of it when it was home. Thanks to reader Kevin - who has several pieces of this hard-to-find vintage bedroom furniture for sale on craigslist in Long Island, New York: He also scanned the catalog, which is eye-popping dreamy.ĭoing research to sell the pieces, Kevin found our several stories on Drexel Plus One furniture here. I already had an Early American bedroom set That Never Wore Out, but if I hadn’t… well, 40 years later a once-teenage girl can dream. No question, Drexel Plus One would have been my teenage girl dream furniture in 1970, when my mom let me choose my paint colors and carpet for our groovy new split level house in Vista, California.
