Thrifty!

August 20th, 2009

On my single day off this week I made a quick trip to a few local thrift stores and vintage shops. I didn’t pick up much but I found a couple funky things.

Hey! Is this an awesome hand painted set of nesting dolls featuring all your favorite Soviet leaders? Oh yes.

Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Brezhnev, Stalin, and Lenin! Oh my.

Look at little grumpy Lenin. How can you refuse him?

Bench

I picked up this handmade vintage bench on recent thrifting rounds. It was a pretty surprising choice considering its a little bit more rustic than the rest of the house. I sort of instantly fell in love with the sturdiness and smooth worn finish plus all these amazing handmade details.

Heres a detail pic. Check out all those great butterfly key joints and weird rectangular plugs. I think it has a very sort of Scandinavian meets Nakashima thing going on that I’m super digging.

Now I’ve got to style that bad boy up.

At least it sort of hides the ghetto ass cable.

Space

Now that the wall unit is sold and gone I’ve got all this open space…

We are counting down the days till the launch of project C.A.H.L.R.S.P.

Holler.
