shopping spreee


last week i may have gone a little overboard. i was not having a good week in general, and we need SO much stuff for this house--i think it was just the perfect storm. i am sure it was going to happen sooner or later. oh well.


so i decided to treat the house to some new goods. nothing major, and all in all, some super good deals, but i can definitely say i am counting the hours, minutes & seconds until pay day. so i will be dropping some tidbits this week of some of the new loot i took home. 


first up, two new bedside tables:


white lacquer with greek key handles

detail of greek key hardware

and here they are in their new home:
well, i tried to get a picture of both of them, but alfred couldn't bare that i photograph something other than him, so he military-style crawled underneath the bed to block my shot.  what a psycho. 


also, while i was in the shop though, i scored another little piece for $50. it needs a lot of loving to get back in to shape, but is on the right path after an aggressive scrub down with trusty old brasso. i think i let out a little stress on this poor, unsuspecting new friend.

  1. Love both the items! Where did you find them? We need to start DIYing and thrifting together...I am on a big time budget.
    Also- I think you forgot to mention the good end to your week. :) SO EXCITING

  2. I'm on it! Updating this a.m. I typically write posts over the weekends then schedule them to post throughout the week. Note to self--may have to keep up more regularly with it.

    Everything came from this little store in greensboro, Stuff (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stuff-Vintage/221536047873905) Come over this weekend & let's make a plan!
