A quick trip to the bank & stop at the thrift to donate a few things resulted in my favorite find of the day! A new coffee table! I was tired of the one we had, not to mention, I think it was too big for the space we have now. So I had been watching Craigslist but hadnt really found anything. And then I saw this. Marked $30. And it was mine! They gave it to me for $25, didnt have to barter, they just rang it up at that price. I love this thrift!
Check out the legs :)
I also found another candlestick. I'm hoping to pry that brass part off so I just have the wood.
And this little box that will obviously need repainting.
Here is our old table. Not bad, just needed a change. We've had this for about 8 years. Nice solid wood, and has withstood two toddlers that have now grown into school agers who constantly use it as a chair. And my numerous craft projects.
Real life here, taken before I finished cleaning. You can see how big it is compared to our love seats. When Mike got a deal on two brand new loveseats ($100 a piece, made by the company that makes La-Z-Boy) we knew it was time to replace the old couch & loveseat. Since this room is smaller than what we had when we purchased them, two loveseats seem to fit better than the old couch/loveseat combo. Just need some slipcovers ;).
Check out Southern Hospitality for more great finds!

I like your new coffee table, and all of your other finds, but I LOVE those green chairs in the background! It's the color I want to paint mine!
ReplyDeleteThat coffee table is just gorgeous! I've been looking for one that is similar, but I haven't had any luck yet.
