Happy 4th of July weekend to all of my US Thrift Hunting blogger friends!
Whilst yard sales aren't as plentiful on a holiday weekend I hope you all managed some great finds!
I'm super excited about what I brought home...though it was quite a task to acquire it.
If you've been following my blog a little you probably remember how frustrated I've been with changing up our Den. I can't find the right pillows or table & just overall not happy with the space. I moved the oversize ottoman back, returned the brown pillows, and picked up these new Yellow & Color Burst ones from West Elm this weekend. I think they are OK, but not perfect. What do you think???
So on to my find...
A couple of weeks ago I shared my envy when Morgan at The Brick House found a perfect coffee table for their room on Craigslist...and I knew it would be perfect in my room too. Our ottoman is ok, but there's no where to put drinks & we really need a harder surface. So guess what....I FOUND ONE! Well, not exactly the same, but pretty darn close! Yesterday I was scrolling on Craigslist and thought "What the Hay", and checked in San Diego listings. We had nothing going on & it's not too far of a drive...when low & behold I found the pics on this listing!
I called, the table was still available & for only $75 and a drive to San Diego it was mine. Sounds easy, but with the 4th of July traffic it took 4 hours to get there. Regardless, I've got my project for the rest of the weekend. The table is great. I'm going to sand & stain it a little darker & reseal the travertine & I'll have some pics for you next week (maybe with different pillows, lol). We were all exhausted after our drive, but hopefully it was worth it in the end!
I hope that you have a safe and fun 4th whatever your day brings & I can't wait to see all of your Thrifty Things....so once again I'm linking up to Flea Market Finds & Thrift Share Monday.
Cheers ~ Lara
Oooh nice table and glad that it was worth the long trip.
ReplyDeleteVery nice table. I'll be looking forward to your after pictures to see the transformation.
ReplyDeletewow that was a long drive but I'm glad you found exactly what you were looking for! I am in LOVE with your furry kids... I can't get enough of that shot of them wiped out on the couch! As for the pillows... I think they're nice but I would love to see something with vibrant colors (but that's just me)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!
