Chair Of The Week 2

This week's chair is taking us back in time...to 1899. It's a gorgeous chair in the Art Nouveau style, designed by Édouard Colonna. Read more here.


I absolutely LOVE art nouveau. The art by Alphonse Mucha is breathtaking. Here are just a few examples.

WOW antique sewing machine

FREE sewing machine on the provo, utahcraigslist! Here is a picture from the ad. I can't believe this person is just giving it away, it looks beautiful.

Craigslist

While searching through the baby stuff on Craigslist I found this incredible cradle. The person selling it claims it's from around 1920! What a find. The price is $75, pretty dang good for something that old.

The PINK Post

I can't remember the name of the store I found this chair and the following sofa at...when it comes to me I'll post it :)

I love the shiny satin fabric on this sofa!

I had been wanting to check out Age Cage in Sugarhouse for a while and I am so glad I finally did. They have such cute stuff! And for a vintage store the prices are pretty good. This bowl reminds me of a sea anemone (which is a really hard word to say and spell).

So cool!
A week after visiting Age Cage, I found glasses that match these plates at Savers off of 7200 S in Salt Lake. I probably should have bought them.

I'm so happy Susan could come with me! Check out the rad pink suit cases she found.

Antique Findings

Today I was visiting my 92 year old next door neighbor and she showed me a bunch of her antiques and artifacts. It inspired me to look for something to display the early stages of my antique collection. While browsing furniture on GoAntiques.com I came across this beautiful Arts and Crafts chair. The price is $2000! But since I don't have money enough to buy even a $10 chair I don't mind how expensive it is.

It's style seems to be transitioning form the organic lines of the preceding Art Nouveau movement, making it very unique.

NapaStyle

How many times have we heard not to judge a book by it's cover? Yet, when I first laid eyes on the NapaStyle homepage I almost brushed it off as it didn't seem to be my style. HOWEVER, I have been pleasantly surprised and am glad to share a few of their unique products.

(But first, their homepage as I recently view it)

These lovelies are handcrafted in Spain from recycled glass and range from $35 to $98.

On the website they seem excited that this ANTIQUE silverware is available by the pound. While that is nice, I am thrilled to find a resource for something so classic and quality.

I had a similar idea with the flatware...I thought it would be fun to grab all my silverware from the local thrift store. Although it took me almost two hours to dig through the giant buckets of kitchen junk, I didn't find anything quite as beautiful as on NapaStyle!
