Thrifty

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Here are a few more of the choice items I recently picked up on the thrift marathon.

Holler! I love her. SO MUCH.
She’s living in the newly arranged dinning room.

A nifty Lightolier floor lamp purchased at Angel View Thrift in Palm Springs – it totally needs to rewired. I am still craving the all brass Laurel lamp I saw at the Estate Sale Store, but at $150 it was priced out of reach.

My first Lagardo Tackett cookie jar!

Not thrifted though. I paid top dollar at a vintage store since I am like retarded in love with all his work. I saw it weeks ago and couldn’t get it out of my mind – so I splurged.

My new entry wall with my new shelving unit. I still want to install an Eames hang-it-all near the front door to finish it off, so if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of – holler at me!

Many thanks to Apartment Therapy and One Pretty Thing for featuring my Flokati Bench REMIX.

Say WHAT WHAT!

Bedroom Glam

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

On the recent thrifting extravaganza I picked up this fabulous lighting fixture for $50 at the Palm Springs Revival thrift store. It has a very glam seventies vibe which I really am starting to dig right now – admit it – we are all loving Lucite and brass.

When we first moved in we installed this Ikea Fado pendant lamp to replace a broken down mess of a ceiling fan. I love replacing the Ikea with something a little more vintage, eclectic and unique – it just takes time and lots of digging to find those perfect fixtures.

The Boy has now initiated a cease fire on installing ceiling fixtures after all the Jerry rigging we’ve had to do in the last week. Too bad – I’ve got a cute Lightolier fixture that needs to be installed in the kitchen.

Here it is all installed and making the master bedroom just a little sexier.

Just as a personal reminder – here’s that same area in the bedroom almost exactly one year ago to the day.

Another thing that makes this bedroom sexy – this fab vintage pillow thrifted here in town. WOW.
