New Find!

I found this sweet mid century modern table at Savers in Sandy for only $4! Can you believe it? Since this picture was taken I have removed the wood stain from the top of the brass feet (which you can't see, but they are about 2 inches high at the bottom of the legs). I have also sanded it down and am deciding on the color. I am still in love with this pillow I bought almost a year ago so I might paint the table chocolate brown to coordinate.

Phone Update

I just went to DI about 30 minutes ago. Once again I forgot my camera! But I found this table that is sooo awesome and I know it would look amazing if it were repainted. It's the size of an end table and costs $15. Hurry and grab it!

I know you can't see the details, but the legs have these indentations that are filled with a tiny bump texture. It's really great!

What Savers Has in Store

Yesterday I dropped by Savers in Orem to look for some lamp shades. Didn't find any of those, but here is what I did see...
A gorgeous glass bottle. I especially love it because there is this place called Gypsy Den in California where they have a ton of these stacked around. Here is a picture I found where you can kinda see the glass bottles in the top left corner.
And a close up of just one detail from the bottle. It was about a foot and a half tall and cost $5.99
I love this little elephant paper weight. The lines are so sculptural. It is only 3 inches tall and costs $3.99

A modern style wall clock. $5.99

I think this little end table would look awesome with some new paint and a fancy handle! It is $7.99, but all the furniture was 50% off when I was there yesterday.Ooo this rocking chair has some cool looking curves. It definitely needs fixing up, but the wood seems to be free of stain and probably just needs sanding, priming and painting (or staining). The upholstery is a velvety orange and pretty dirty. But I can just imagine how good this would look if someone had the time to spruce it up! $12.99 (again 1/2 off).

Cute Table and Chair

Although I did have some trouble finding thrift stores on Saturday (see below), I did have success at the Savers in Sandy. I LOVE this Savers, every time I go there are sweet chairs and pieces of furniture. Here is a lovely low table with a cupboard:

It was about 25" to 30" square and about 15" tall. The price $15.

ALSO! I bought this amazing chair. The price tag said $5 but I talked them down to $3 because it was falling apart. I'm very excited to have a new project to work on!

Sorry about the picture quality in this post. Next time I will put more into the photos!

Rusty MAGNOLIA's

This store is SO MUCH FUN! They have over 40 vendors with antiques plopped all over the place. From the outside it may not look so appealing, but one step inside Magnolia on 310 E. Whittier Blvd in La Habra, and you will be convinced.

There is a huge "backyard" to this store with a lot of (sadly) deteriorating treasures. The above assortment pretty much sums up the back area.

How great is this table?! Made with large chunks of wood and branches, the bottom is a little awkward, but the painting on top makes up for it.

Here is a close up of the hand-painted flowers.

I can't even stand how much I love this painting and frame. If only I had $200 for it...

I've never seen anything quite like this little guy.
