since moving into our new flat about four months ago, we have saved no less than ten bits of amazing furniture from the trash. literally, a lot of it was pulled from skips along our street, the rest all claimed by us as they sat, replaced and discarded on the footpath outside their former homes (if you follw me on instagram, you'll have seen this for yourself!). there's nothing a quick wipe down, clean up and fresh coat of paint can't restore, and as you should all know by now, i love saving money on costly things!

so, how apt that made - a quality, yet inexpensive furniture company would ask me for my irresistible weakness. my favourite saved piece so far has to be our record cabinet/armoir (similar) that we saved from our neighbour's skip a week after we'd moved in - a priceless asset to our lounge room, that now sits pride of place holding our record player and collection of thrifted vinyls. it's a funny old thing when a piece of furniture changes the whole vibe of a room. this piece, was meant to be ours.
so, what about you? what do you find so damn irresistible?

Aw you are thrifty! I bet your furniture looks amazing, and extra special because you helped bring it back to life! I find jewellery my weakness. OOPS! x
ReplyDeleteMy irrisistable thing is really weird and a little bit like yours. I love big piles of wood. I really love making things out of wood so when I see piles of it my mind just starts racing on all the things I could make with it. Unfortunately if someone has piled up wood it usually means its meant for something and therefore not up for grabs but I can still dream.
ReplyDeletei don't know about you, but i find cupcakes irresistible :)
