Gaga for GOLD


This week we have been quite busy, but we found some really good (gold) stuff.   Justin has a green wedding ring chenille bedspread, but we found this pretty gold one for $8!  I think it really brings out the rich tones of the Brasilia wood and makes his room feel quite warm.  The starburst pattern on the spread is amazing.





We also found this lamp that seems very brutalist in it's design.  This is not the original shade, but goes to show you that buying cool shades when you see them pays off.  The green in the shade matches perfectly with the green in the lamp.  The only problem is, we don't know where to put it!




 We found this serving cart in mint condition!  I really don't think any one ever used it.  The cool thing about it is that it folds up.  I just think the wheels are so amazing.  I'm a sucker for the gold flecks! ($5!!)





 These spaghetti glasses from the fifties are in amazing condition.  Each one was only $2, and we found them at the local Value Village.  What a steal. And don't they look divine on the serving cart?




Meanwhile, Ely needed another piece for his developing living room decor. Something to sit on. This is a little small (and not really supposed to be a living room chair) but it is really in perfect condition and the fabric is amazing. The only flaw is the gold feet- The brass is all worn out. Ely will be using his gold pen on them most likely. It also has some storage inside for magazines!

You can't really see it, but there are more gold flecks in this (plastic-y) fabric.






More Finds. A cool mirror and a record holder to hold the records for Ely's new beloved stereo system.




TTFN!

Hollywood Regency Time Capsule House

Wow! We were looking at estate sales across the country and we came across this one.  This is the definition of Hollywood Regency!  We like to throw in some Regency touches here and there, but this is over the top.  It's a perfect snapshot of a moment in time.  Enjoy!
