Thrift love

Spotted these gems at a local thrift spot last week. I wanted to take all of them home!

(sorry for the photo quality- iphone blogging, y'all)

Camel leather sofa w/Danish style arms- $900

These need a reupholstery make-over! Like these similarly styled chairs upholstered in my fave Lee Jofa David Hicks La Fiorentina!

Really cool tribal woven rug- $75. Kinda small at 3.5x5, but I love the look of layering over a big seagrass rug!

Texture close up

Big cowhide, perfect for an area rug- $190.

Amazing green urn, $45

Don't think it's a real Saarinen (I checked the bottom), but cool green wool desk chair!

I only I had the space, all of these delicious finds would be mine!

Thriftin'

Had a great time thrifting in North Houston this weekend. Found some great little finds. Most could use refinishing/reupholstering, but nothing I wouldn't be up for!

I took this little greeny-gold guy home! Isn't it cute?!?! Vinyl needs cleaning and the wooden leg needs some work.

Valentine Cookie (it's never too late)

Oh, it's vintage

This week, I moved my grandparents out of their home of 26 years and into an awesome assisted living home near my parents. Really, this new place is cool- they answer the phone with "cruiseship on land."

During the move, grandma told me to take whatever I wanted from the old house and boy did I find some gems!



Vintage suede and leather boots (with fur lining) in my size! who knew my huge foot genes came from grandma! ;)


Smith Corona typewriter. I think it's from the '60's... not a Valentine or anything, but still pretty neat.



Mink stole- don't get upset people, it's vintage, before PETA was even around. No red paint please.
My grandma is so cute. When talking about the mink stole, she said, "well, I used to be kind of stylish." KIND OF???! I'd say, VERY stylish. ;)
