Last weeks finds
Look at what a little searching can get you.... :)
Okay so the "Tuppercraft" made by Tupperware hamper is maybe a little funky for me, but I kind of like it in a weird way. It's going to the antique mall. It was made in 1958. Hey and look... it matches that gold chair... LOVE...
Have you ever seen a better chair...? Hmmm. I think not.
It even has little wheels on the front legs! Ack!
Here is my problem... I want to keep everything I find. This may be so good I might have to keep it. I just don't know yet. I even like the color and would maybe even keep the wood as is! Shocking I know. I may have to sit on it (ha ha) a while and decide later.
Then for the favorite piece of the week......
Ta da...
I saw it at Salvation Army and the price was $199.99. Too much over my budget. But then.... I saw a sign, no not from God, but from the front of the store.... All tags before Aug 25th are 75% off. I ran back to the hutch and what do you know AUG 24th!!! WAHOO! $50 bones for this bad boy.
I love it so much and I really am keeping it. It is made of walnut and has no structural issues at all, it just needs a good sanding and new white paint with a little antiquing to go in my new white downstairs (that I have pictured in my head).
I better get crackin'!
Happy Monday!




Is that round cylinder thing the Tupperware? 1958 and it is going to the antique Mall, Do you realize you just stabbed me right thru the heart! lol 1958 IS NOT AN ANTIQUE! hee hee Oh now I feel so old.
Great buy on the hutch!

Love your new "spoils"! That chair is too diva-licious!
Hey Jill, what color white do you use to "shabby-up" your
furniture? That walnut hutch is gonna be precious!

If you're vintage........then I must be a relic. Early sixties for me.
Love the hutch. Kind of reminds me of the one I found......but already painted. I call her Stella. I can't believe you got it for $50!
Can't wait to see it painted.
