Maine: The Way Life Used To Be

I live in a mid century time capsule house that was built in 1952. I am working on making most of what’s inside authentically from the 50’s and 60’s. I really need a pair of living room table lamps from that time, bedroom curtains and more. I have scoured all of the local antique shops and craigslist but haven’t found what I’m seeking.

If you know of anyone in Southern Maine who has outdated furnishings from the 50’s or 60’s and wishes to sell them to someone who will give them a new home, please contact me. Thanks!
