What an awesome week for thrifting!
I came across an ad in our local online classifieds for a mid-century teak table and jumped on it. The ad only said it was made in Norway, and I'm always looking for a nice coffee table. Turns out it's a Mobler table made by Rasmus Solberg! It's awesome, I gotta say. I paid $85, then found an identical one on 1stdibs.com for $2700. *BIG SMILE*
OK, so the top of mine is a little rough, and it's a little bigger - I don't know if that's good or bad when you're looking at a coffee table? - but it's beautiful. Larger in scale than our last table, but we'll get used to it. Here's my baby ;)
I also got to a couple of stores and have actually managed to list some stuff this morning - it's a good day when I'm productive! I left the store with a couple more silk scarves. I find people just tend to overlook them, not being clothing, but some of them are so gorgeous. One is an awesome must de Cartier scarf...drool....
And the other is a Pierre Cardin Jeunesse - lovely and summery!
...and I promise to one day, figure out a better way to photograph a scarf...
Happy thrifitng!
That table is fabulous! I bet the top of it can be fixed up. Teak is usually really easy to refinish. Congrats, it's awesome and I imagine I'm not the only one in blogland that is jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it can too. Of course, with 3 messy kids and 2 messy adults ;) AND a teak dining and kitchen table to be redone, it'll have to get in line!
DeleteI just love that table! Sooo beautiful. the lines are great
