I meant to post about recent finds a while back, and didn't get around to it. I have a few different odds and ends, but for today I will stick with furniture.
Sorry for the poor lighting...I took these pictures in the garage. This is a neat chair. Its boring as is, but for $4.98 I couldn't pass it up. I am thinking that I will use it in my office/craft room. It is going to need to be painted and reupholstered. Maybe I will paint the wood white and find a light blue fabric, or maybe a floral pattern. I am not sure, but I will be sure to post some before and after pictures.
(Notice the white in the background. This is a big table I bought at goodwill some time ago, with its first coat of white paint. I have to paint the legs and another coat, but I am thinking it too will join the chair as a craft/scrapbook/office table...so many projects, so little time :o)
This picture does not do this piece justice! When I stumbled across this, I was actually looking for some time of iron/metal garden fixture for my new berry bushes to grow on. I saw this large cabinet and just loved the color. You can't tell so much in this picture, but it has a very pretty shade of green paint with a lighter paint, very chippy and crackled. Being the size that it was, I almost didn't bother asking how much the guy wanted for it. (we were at an indoor flea market) The man asked if he could help me with anything, and I asked about the price. He said $55! I had to buy it, I have been looking for some type of cabinet/armoire to store my vintage dishes. This piece is really solid and definitely one of a kind.
Here are a couple of items on my wish list:
I am really trying to be frugal right now. But the price for that queen headboard/footboard and the price for that couch make it really difficult! I know, you are probably thinking I'm nuts, wanting a white couch. But the couch is slipcovered and so the covers can be easily removed and washed. I just love this metal bed. I have been searching for a while, but this has definitely been the best deal. I am picturing all these pieces of furniture in our cottage house. I can't wait!
I am so tired...thought I would steal away a few moments to blog, and now I am going to bed!
Goodnight Friends!
