Whew! I do believe I fell off the face of the earth for a couple months there. Now that I’m finished going out of town for business reasons and completely remaking parts of my life, let’s get back to my goals and what I’ve been up to house-wise. (Notice that it’s not “home-wise” just yet, lol!) It’s getting much closer though.
So we have a street here that’s basically a normal residential street with a bunch of antique / refurbished / reused shops that I love to visit. Here’s my most recent pieces, which are part of my last 2 furniture pieces on my goal list.
#1: This hideous beast was in a corner with a “SALE $5″ tag on it covered up with a pile of stuff on it that they wanted to sell more. I see potential… I’m not sure exactly how it’ll turn out but I’m seeing some paint in it’s future. If I can move it, considering it weighs 60 1/2 lbs… or something around there.
#2: The best find ever. This little guy was found at Waterfront Rescue Mission. I fell in love with the shape of the item at first… of course my immediate reaction was to sit on him. (Bad idea!) It’s missing a screw and some TLC.
I knew I really wanted it but there was no price tag on it. I found an employee to ask but she left with the item mumbling that she needed to find the person who priced it. Upon her return she said they didn’t know and she put a $1 sticker on it. One dolla?! Woohoo! *dance*
Total: $6 and a bunch of sanding ahead of me.
Since then I have returned to Waterfront Rescue Mission only to find signs everywhere that say “Price checks will not be made on the floor. Item will be removed and put out the next day with the price on it.” Aww, but I will still visit in hope to find treasures.
