There's a strip of a few blocks in Murphysboro, just down the road from Carbondale, with several resale shops selling everything from complete junk to incredible vintage furniture. Today we got a delivery of the latter from The Atomic Home, which recently relocated from Benton.

For the time being, at least, the couch and loveseat are in the living room (they may go downstairs when our other couch and loveseat arrive, depending on what goes best with the new paint and curtains).

We also got an unbelievable deal on a three-piece dining room set. At first we thought the three pieces were the table, leaves and chairs, and we thought, well, it's a nice table, maybe we should get it. Then we found out that was all one piece, and it came with a beautiful hutch and buffet. And at the prices things were going for, I couldn't afford not to get this excellent cat-tail lamp for the boom boom room.

The table isn't put back together yet, but it's a nice, plain mid-century circle design. But check out these chairs.

The Atomic Home guys were awesome to deal with and their stock is amazing and in constant rotation. If you're in the area (and by that I mean anywhere from St. Louis to Louisville) do yourself a favor and check them out.
