Check out this 1960’s Romanian Mid-Century Modern (MCM) gateleg drop-leaf table that features teak wood with four integrated folding chairs that stow inside a tambour-door compartment that we are selling! This style of table was designed by Aldo Jacober. This space-saving, mobile unit on castors also features a single drawer for storage. The table measures 62” x 32 7/8” wide with the leaves up and folds down to 12 1/4” x 32 7/8” when the leaves are down. This is an amazing, hard to find table in excellent, almost new condition. It has been very well taken care of through the years. Let me know if you’re interested in this hard to find, genuine MCM dining set and I can give you more information!

Where did “Best Life Pickers” come from? Well, back in 2016 I was offered a high falutin job in Baltimore. Since I had worked really hard to achieve my Nurse Executive Doctorate I thought I needed a high falutin job to match. However, it didn’t take me long at all to realize I was miserable in Baltimore. IYKYK. With my head hung low, I went back to UVA and to the Outpatient Surgery Center. That experience was humbling, and frankly, embarrassing, but the experience sparked a fire in Mike and me. I really didn’t want a fancy job and didn’t care about titles. We didn’t care about big houses or new cars. We wanted financial security and financial freedom. We wanted to retire early and be able to suport ourselves. Our goal was to both be retired by the time we were 60. He retired at 56 in 2022 and I retired at 57 in November. We support ourselves through real estate and are “all in” in the reselling world locally and online. Every day we are thankful that we are no longer enslaved to the “9-5”. We do what we want, when we want, and if that’s not the best life, I don’t know what is. Life is good and we are thankful for what we have and the journey that got us here!
Love,
one half of the Best Life Pickers, Rebecca

Wow!!! We hit the jackpot today! This stunning rocking horse was handcrafted from oak and incorporates reclaimed wood. He’s a giant at 30” tall and 41” long. He will be galloping over to Crossroads Vintage & Antiques the next time we’re in the neighborhood. Someone will be ridiculously lucky to have this beauty in their home. Is that someone you?

If you need end tables or nightstands, I’ve got you covered! Here’s a pair of Link-Taylor nightstands and a pair of solid wood Queen Anne style end tables. Both pairs are in our suites at Crossroads Vintage & Antiques. Ask for the MRG suite:). Thank you to my friends who have supported our small business- we really appreciate you!
