Cool finds!!
It was a good week for great finds!! This fabulous cabinet is from Craigslist-purchased at a reasonable & negotiated $500. The seller told us the cabinet was originally a built-in from a San Francisco home. It was missing a piece of glass in one of the doors which was fairly easy to replace, especially since I recruited my father-in-law’s expertise. A great way to reuse a vintage piece.
Meanwhile, the space between the two sconces needed “something”. A bit of research on Apartment Therapy brought us to Timeless Treasures in S.F. This is a great store which has a little bit of everything ranging from vintage finds to stationary to candles and soap. It took a solid hour to sort through the various letters & come up with the right combination of size, font, and color. The staff gal was sooooo patient with us, climbing up and down the ladder a few times to pull letters off the wall.
At last, we had the right combination after arranging 30+ letters.
A final stop to the S.F. Flower Mart rounded out the day where we found two fern embossed ceramic vases in the A & C style for a reasonable $13 & $16.
We’re enjoying our transformed dining room!!
