The owner or possibly daughter of told me to take it because it was so Brady Bunch. I came home and found it on a very upscale Atlanta store website for $895. Mine of course did not have the lampshade but I am still very excited with my find for upcycling.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105766867191588377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-38876825970996374342009-06-21T07:16:02.672-04:002009-06-21T07:16:02.672-04:00Love your post!

Then a bedroom that needs decorated and i just don't feel like spending a lot. We don't have as many treasures here. I think it will kill me when I come to the US and we happen upon some wonderful things - of course, I can always ship! Much easier than getting stuff home from France!<br /><br />Love that coffee table. $5 - are you kidding??!!!<br /><br />Clever shopper!Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-5361416930237787172009-06-20T00:21:28.336-04:002009-06-20T00:21:28.336-04:00wow - I am so inspired by treasure hunters..

I haunted the thrift shops, consignments and yard sales. I furnished my whole small house with my finds. Craigslist was another good resource. I found a two-year old Ethan Allen sofa that didn't fit in someone's house, and since it was still on the truck, they delivered it to mine.Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-8557675552424578602009-06-19T13:11:37.157-04:002009-06-19T13:11:37.157-04:00Everything is lovely
