Last week, I got the chance to thrift with a few twitter mates. They weren't actually there, there with me, but they convinced me to buy this cabinet I almost passed up. I know, someone give me a wedgie, please! How could I even think of abandoning those killer, sexy, sashay, shante legs? Well, I wasn't sure I needed more small cabinets and since funds are running low at OldBrandNew, I have to be extra picky. After enough twitter nudging, I walked out with it for $20. And now, it's tentatively rubbing elbows with my TV unit. I love it! Thanks to Capree, Emma, Mina, and Cocopuff1212!
It looks amazing! Love your styling as always. So glad you didn't let it go!

if you ever want to sell it, you know who to call ;)
ReplyDeletej.
Thank god for tweeps & mobile communication devices!
ReplyDeleteThat sexy little piece of furniture was not meant to be left behind. Love the sliding doors & the long slender legs. yum!
What a great find and at a great price. I'm glad you went for it.
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeletequestion- how long has that leaf thing been alive? did i read that you cut it off a plant in your mom's yard or am i making that up (it was awhile ago that i read it, if i did...) i love the way it looks!
it's awesome. i thrift a LOT and i have walked away from more great deals due to uncertainty... i'm glad you went for this. it feels like redemption :)
ReplyDeletei absolutely love this cabinet. your blog inspires me to go thrifting more. so glad you didn't let it get away!
ReplyDeleteThis beaut' of a find makes me wistful.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a recycling centre around the corner where people could dump still-usable-but-not-for-them-anymore bits and pieces and us magpies could swoop down and balance them on rusty bikes and push them home. Then they extended the recycling centre to include a place to turn in batteries, solvents, used aerosols, etc and the GOD DANG SOLVENT ABUSING JUNKIES swooped in with their yellow eyes and runny noses and spent so much time "recycling" that now they have shut it down.
Nutshell: I will never find such a cabinet here. But...may I be yours' Godmother? I'll send it an Easter card and pinch it's cheeks if I ever see it. I swurr.
$20?!!
ReplyDelete(i just fell off my chair)
I love it. You and Manhattan Nest have the best eye for thrifting. I seriously need to kidnap one or both of you for a day. Super bummed I didn't make it to Justina's party to meet you, but I'll have to make sure to come to the next one!
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't pass it up! She's a beaut :D
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for all the lovely comments. I'm so glad I got it, seriously, I'd be kicking myself right now if this wasn't here!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. You can always make room by selling older pieces you are tired of on craigslist and there by replenishing your funds. That's what I do. It never gets boring in my house :)
ReplyDeleteHa, Sashay shante oui ;) Lovely find, glad to hear you scooped it up and at 20$?! Nice! And your photos are beautiful!

erin That philodendron leaf lasts FOREVER. I've had it for about a month and a half now. I snip the ends every other week to keep it fresh and alive. I think I've had it once for about 3 months or longer? It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteSüsk Are you sure? She's one high maintenance beast. She demands a scrub down everyday followed by an oil rubadubdub. And her toenails need to be trimmed and padded whenever she feels like it. Yes, you can be her Godmama!
Bekka Haha, let's kidnap Dan, he's got way better thrifty hands than I do. Nothing, I mean NOTHING hides from his XRAY vision. Aw, bummed you didn't make it, too. Another time, for sure.
Natalie You're absolutely right. I used to do that with my sofas, swap them out every 6 months and put it back on Craigslist. I kinda forgot about that. Hey, I wonder if we've ever run into each other through Craigslist.
I LOVE IT! i hate you... becuase i'm jealous... but i love it!!
ReplyDeleteYou were so smart to snatch it up, what a nice cabinet! But I can relate to this, sometimes things have to sink in. Those experiences make me buy more stuff than I need (because I'd rather regret buying something than nót buying it ;)).
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! The power of twitter. I will have to try this next time I go shopping. Great purchase and of course great styling as always. Amanda xxx
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great find!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic in your space, Dabito! A total score. :)

The fact that it only cost you 20$ makes me want to tear out my hair. lol. Love your corner of the world D.
Chantale Haha. Thanks. But are you alright? The last thing I want is you getting all bruised up and bald over some cute cabinet!

I just discovered your blog through Manhattan Nest, I find it beautiful,just like the light in your photos. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm Jealous!
I love cabinets like this one, Someday, when I'll have to decorate a home of my own I will have even more cabinets ·than you do· ( ha!), and lots of chairs... I have a thing for chairs too ; )
Great find! and for 20 bucks, I wouldn't have thought it twice!
Oh! and I also love all the beautiful cameras you have around there! I'm building up a collection too!
