Thanks to Laure from Apartment Therapy for mentioning my new vintage coffee table. Man, I love AT.
If this is your first time visiting The Brick House – welcome! Try and enjoy it.
Some folks have been curious what I paid for the round mid century coffee table (it was $100 BTW). So the coffee table at its discounted price passes the $100 rule. What is this wacky $100 rule? I stole the idea from a brillant friend who never pays over $100 for found furniture. If you really want it and are willing to put in the time and legwork you can find almost anything for under $100. Sometimes I break the rules for really big things, like my dining table pictured below. I paid $150 for it.
If your new, you may have some questions like…
What is this The Brick House? Why is this blog not very informative? Whats with all the Mid Century nonsense?
well:
-I’m a broke lover of vintage trying to make good on a house that is a little weird, and needs a lot of work.
-I am not a very skilled DIY-er. Neither is The Boy who shares the house with me. We screw up a lot.
-I have unrealistic dreams of having a Dwell worthy home with no budget and a mediocre house.
-I live in possibly the most boring retirement town in California.
-There are GREAT vintage treasures to be found since everyones always dying.
So there you have it. Stop by and read my silly stuff, check out my vintage finds and kill some time. Maybe one day I’ll be a better DIY-er and you could learn something!
