Weekly Chair Love

I spotted this weeks chair love on Flickr.  Yellow is not really my color, but I see so much potential in the baby.  A nice white vinyl?  Or black?  This chair could be gorgeous.  I love that tufting and the curved back!

My New Book

May 28, 2009 at 5:27 pm (Tid Bits) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I finally got my new book in the mail!

“The Find,” by Stan Williams.  I was super excited when I heard about the new book.  I order it right away and have been impatiently waiting ever since.  I have had it for about a day and have already read half of it.  Ha. 

The book discusses thrift and vintage finds, and gives tales and examples of inspiration.  So far, I definitely recommend!

Curvy Chair Love

May 27, 2009 at 11:18 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

This week my chair love comes from a random internet search.  The fun, curvy arms on this baby just jumped out at me.  What a beauty.  I’d take a couple of these for my dining room.

 Hopefully we get some sun tomorrow so I can show you a few pictures of the yard progress!

Kitchen Lights

May 26, 2009 at 8:35 am (Home Changes and Additions) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

We found the cutest vintage lights for the kitchen!  I had been scouring ebay for a set of school house lights- the hanging kind.  I found a few, but was always outbid and they went to high in price for me to stick with it.  The other day Tony was in our local hardware store and spotted a set of milk glass lights, although not hanging, but still super cute.  The lights even came out of a local library in a recent remodel!  So, here is a peak at how they go so well with our newly remodeled kitchen!

Aren’t they much better than the old burnt up stip lights?  Also, we did a hole lot of yard work this weekend… so stay tuned to see how the yard is coming along! 😉

We have another coffee table added to the shop.  This one was so cute, but in bad shape:

Actually, it is also getting little white feet, but I couldn’t resist showing you how it turned out.  Let me know if you are interested.

Another Garage Sale Day

May 19, 2009 at 2:44 pm (Inspiration, Tid Bits) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

Saturday was another small neighboring town’s garage sale day.  I made a quick pass through town in between graduation parties and picking up the puppies from the vet (aw).  I think I made out pretty well for a few dollars! Check out the finds:

For a couple of dollars each I got these adorable red vintage Pyrex dishes.  I love any red cookware, especially Pyrex.  They are so versatile, most of all the ones with the lids!  The other metal dish is an Italian hot pan.  I thought it was not only pretty but would also come in handy for fajita night!

I know the picture is a bit fuzzy, but I just loved this vintage wooden shoe mold.  I couldn’t resist its funkiness.

New Chair Love

May 18, 2009 at 10:55 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

This weekend has been busy.  I have many things to show you all (and the kitchen counter-tops are being installed as I type!).  But, sadly, my camera card is not working today.  So, until I figure out what to do with that (hopefully tonight!) I will show you my chair love early, and hope that I can have some exciting weekend finds for you tomorrow!

I saw this photo last week on Apartment Therapy.  This chair is in a home layout from this year’s San Francisco Decorator’s Showcase.  Sweet, huh!?

 

What a statment a chair like that would make!

Mini Chair Love

May 12, 2009 at 9:42 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I came across this little lucite chair and table on Ebay (thinking it was life-sized).  Did your Barbies have neat furniture like this?  I think mine are jealous!

 

Way cool vintage chair, even in a mini size, but I’d take the life-size set! 🙂

Funky Chair Love

I found this guy on Flickr.  Titled, “The Mysterious Vintage Chair,” by fetching.  I love the shape and the detached headrest.  Wouldn’t this chair be sweet in a bright, funky fabric!?

Mid Century Coffee Table

May 7, 2009 at 11:17 am (Shop Items) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I have a gorgeous Mid Century Modern Coffee Table to add to the shop!  The table is low and long, and gorgeous wood.  The triangle pattern in the center is neat and the legs are that great MCM shape.  The table is in great vintage condition but for one small mark in the top.  It is refinish-able and would be perfect!  Let me know if you are interested! 🙂
