Thrifty!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

$10 at Goodwill for the pair.

Golden Girls or Modernist Rattan? I think I really like them, but I’m not sure where they will end up.

$3.99 Salvation Army.

Owls? Done and dead? How does scale affect tired trends?

Does 14″ of vintage hot red ceramic owl qualify as more sculptural and therefore more interesting or remain firmly planted as trendy tsotchke? Hmmmmmm.

I’m not sure if the owl thing is dead dead dead – but I suspect this guy may still be pretty rad.

Sweet jesus I’m so glad I’m getting back to a normal work schedule and can go thrifting. I was jonesing big time for my thrifty adventures during the past few months. What a sweet sense of relief walking in and smelling that oh so familiar musty fart smell of the thrift store.

Attention:

Whomever keeps hitting up this bloggity for “brickhouse bitches” – this probably isn’t the site your googling for.

Keep doing it though. I love weirdo search hits.

Handles

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

We custom made some handles for the controversial bookcase doors of internet doom.

Whatever. I’m in love with them…

They are still NOT finished. So pretty please hold off on telling me how bad they look for a little while longer. I’ll finish them up…a little paint, a little stain…and a whole brand new open shelving unit on the opposite wall…

Iggy enjoys the new doors and he’s super cute and has excellent taste.

Oh, and I got my butterfly chair covers off ebay. They were WAY WAY WAY too small. Like weirdly tiny, even though the measurements in the description should have fit. The hunt continues as they get returned.
