Vintage bathroom!

I have been dissatisfied with my bathroom for a few months because it was, up until recently, not mid century at all. Ely and I have been discovering vintage towels, which inspired me to start redecorating. I found an amazing vintage shower curtain on Ebay for a little over $10. What a steal!

And here are some of our bathroom towels. We have accumulated quite a collection. FIELDCREST, PENNEY'S, CANNON! Towels, towels, towels. 

Here's Ely.

So, one day at an estate sale I found these amazing vintage Callaway towels, which someone had used as bathroom display towels.  I decided to get them for Justin as a nice gesture.  He really liked them and it really started me on the hunt for more vintage towels!  I usually find at least one a week.  It is fun and we really have collected quite a few pretty ones.  One of may favorite things about them are the fancy tags.  They are quite ornate for just tags.  It makes them feel just a little more special.

These are a few more things Ely and I have found. We found that clock for $6! And it is in amazing condition, unlike most vintage clocks. Since his purchase of the compact stereo and record player combo, he has been buying Christmas records obsessively. Just wait til November- Ely will have an abundance of Christmas/mid century related information to share...

TTFN!

p.s. Ely is still working on refinishing that table.... let's just say it's almost done, finally.

Pilsner Libbey Glasses and more....

What a weekend so far. First, the best news. Broyhill Brasilia Gentleman's dresser, for $100! Tomorrow we are going to pick it up, so I will chronicle tomorrow entirely. Good or bad. What a steal it will be. I already have a Brasilia dresser and Ely doesn't, so he is thrilled to say the least. At the same time, trying not to get his hopes up too much- with these things you just NEVER know. 

Anyway, today we found some fun things. 

First, at the Fremont vintage mall we came across a wonderful, old, and in amazing condition set of Sears luggage. It looks like two of the pieces were barely used, and for less than $75 you can get the whole set. Photos:

Now on to the furniture...

This piece has been in the mall for a few weeks now, and the price has dropped down to $190. Just about its only flaw is a hole in the back (for cords to go through). The Brasilia commode. If it gets any cheaper me and Ely might have to get it!

What we DID get today, however, was some amazing Libbey Glasses in a nearby thrift store. PERFECT condition, seemingly unused. And don't they look perfect in the Brasilia china cabinet?

Some other amazing finds. And all in one day, except for the Blenko bowl, that was a couple days ago. For $12 we got the large bowl and matching smaller bowl. 

It's been a long, hard day of looking for things at thrift stores, so me and Ely are going to eat some ice cream now. TTFN!
