Since said husband worked a 24 hour shift this weekend, I kept myself busy by trying to hunt down the perfect chair to re-do. I'm looking for something mid century with clean lines that I can reupholster. There is lots of options on ebay but I have yet to pull the trigger. I'd show you what I have my eye on but ebay doesn't seem to let me save the images?? Anyways my search also led me to my first thrift store adventure. They didn't have a whole lot of furniture but still some pretties none the less.
How cute is this chair! Love the tufting.
Don't believe it was milk glass as it had no stamp on the bottom but would still make a very cute vase.
Would have bought these pretty tumblers but the set only contained 3. Hard to tell with the poor picture but it was a pretty silver etching on the glass.

Would look pretty on a dresser with perfumes.

**All pics were taken with my blackberry. Lesson learned, next time bring a camera.

@lily, I would love to paint the chair a glossy black or white and re-do the cushions but ultimately decided to pass it up because it doesn't really go with the rest of my home :(
ReplyDeleteHappy belated bday! Sounds like such a fun time! And I just love that chair :)

Love your blog! Thanks for stopping by mine! :) You found some great things at the thrift store. I always forget to look there. I need to check out mine! Happy Birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteI was just telling my mom that I like tufted furniture.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I love your finds at the thrift store, I need to be more diligent about "digging" to find cute things!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Love your finds you discovered over the weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Love the non-milk glass vase. Would look amazing with some brightly colored flowers!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Amy! What a thoughtful gift from your hubby. :) Cute thrift finds too. I really like that vial. You could go back for the tumblers and use them as single bud vases maybe. Sucks when you find something good, but damaged or not complete.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! The chair would be an awesome redo!

OH honey, happy belated birthday to you! Huge hug to you. Don't cry any tears for the loss of your twenties. :)
ReplyDeleteHorseback riding lessons? Kuddos to hubby.
P.S. I have that same exact vase (second photo) got it years ago while going on vintage shop adventures...
I love it. It is actually on my kitchen table at the moment.
Happy belated Birthday Amy! I too was a horse girl growing up and have been longing to get back into it recently. Can't wait to hear how the next one goes/ see pictures!
ReplyDeleteWell, happy belated birthday! I'm so jealous about the horseback riding lessons...that sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteNice finds at the thrift store, by the way...it's too bad about the tumblers, though, they looked gorgeous.
