If you are from Richmond you may be familiar with the street Lakeside Ave. It is a thrifters paradise. The street is lined with thrift and consignment stores and my little helper and I hit them up yesterday afternoon while my other helper was on a playdate. Look what I found!
I know I started this blog to show you guys great finds so you can go and buy them, but I could not let this one go. I left the store and could not stop thinking about it! So this morning I went back and bought it! Isn't it dreamy!?! I have no idea where I'm going to put it but that's besides the point! IT WAS ONLY $95!!!!! (I thought it was $90 but when I returned today it was $95...I'm going to blame my memory fart on my "helper" who was grabbing at breakable antiques as I was falling in love with this!)
Location: Arnedas Thrift and Gift 262-5179 (but now it can be found at my house!)
Price : $95
Here is another find that I left for you guys to go buy! This was at Arnedas too:
This huge dresser was only $35!!! Can you believe that price! With a gorgeous paint job you could end up with something like this:

I have more finds but I will save them for tomorrow! Some of the Lakeside Thrift stores are taking part in a Ladies Night tonight and staying open until 9:00. If you have time and love thrifting you should definately go!

ReplyDeletein my "formalish" living room. They make me want to copy cat yours and do yellow. Either that or a robins egg blue color. Im just really nervous to take the plunge! Would you mind if I featured your redo on my blog one day soon? It might give me the kick in the butt I need to go bold!
Love the dresser that you bought!
ReplyDeleteThanks Young and Frugal! Blue (Behr Gulf Winds, I think) it is....now to find the time to prime and paint it!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you went back to buy it. I know you will make this piece quite the talker when guests come over.
