Thrifty!

September 22nd, 2009

We hit up a thrift store after Ikea and picked up a few things.

I got this rocking magazine holder for $3.85. I’m pretty positive its for snazzy sideways Magazines only.

Then I grabbed this faux bamboo brass stool for $12. The vinyl fabric is in pretty bad shape so I threw a sheepskin over it till I get motivated to reupholster the thing.

Oh, and I also found a pair of vintage Ray-Ban Wayfarers because I’m trendy scum. They were $20, which is pretty intense for thrift store sunglasses. Whatever, I’m in love with them.

Ikea

September 22nd, 2009

When I was at Ikea I noticed they slashed the price on the cowhides by $100. It says Last Chance! so I guess they aren’t going to carry them anymore. Well, I’m not sure if its just the Covina, CA store or like ALL the Ikeas of the world.

I really debated picking one up.

Even if you hate cowhide, these ones are pretty nice – really thick and great fur. Way better than the two I got. Shit, now I kind of regret not grabbing one.

Bedroom Rug

I picked up the TÅRNBY
rug at Ikea on Saturday and it seems to be jute goodness all around. I layered a kilim on top since I guess you can never have enough rugs or something…

Otherwise my trip to the big blue and yellow was uneventful. I ended up just getting the rug and enjoying a vanilla cone.
