I'm currently working on refurbishing this little Lane table (top photo) to put in the shop. In this line of work, we see lots of furniture that needs love. Some of us are better than others at bringing these works of art back from the brink. On Dallas and Fort Worth Mid-Century Modern, I recently interviewed a man named Hank Tosh, who is dead serious about this endeavor. Check out his shop,Toshmahal (it's on Hampton Road in west Dallas) and you'll see: This man knows how to restore the glory of these deco and midcentury works of art. This is a Lane table (bottom photo) that Hank features on his website. Don't the contrasting colors just melt your heart?

Swivel sizzle

This sleek, two-in-one coffee table doubles your options: The smaller piece swivels to fit under the big daddy when it's just you; bring junior out when it's time to entertain.

Not Just a Sofa, It's a Bit of Chinoiserie
This 1950s/1960s aqua sofa with Asian-inspired legs sports its original upholstery, with new foam in the cushions. It's a nine-footer -- long, lean and gorgeous. No maker on the tag, but it has Dunbar lines. This screams Palm Springs, baby! Price is $599.
