interiors || the ones that got away

i have been doing a lot of antique/discount/consignment shopping for the house. a lot. and i feel like it's only fair that i share some of my hard-to-walk-away-from finds (some of which i'm going back for today, if they're still waiting for me).

mirrored chevron screen ($574,386,476,549,867,986,248,484):

these actually came home with the intention of gifting them, but we love them too much.

so guests will get the gift of using them when they come over instead :)

(set of 6 different vintage cars -- also snagged the tumbler version of the crest set in the back):

too trendy, but loved the color:

rugs are expensiiiiiiiiiiiiiive.

either that or i just love the expensive ones:

gravitating towards black for some reason:

* sorry for the blur *

wants to be recovered. too big for our space, but dig the shape and detailing:

i would buy 1,000 coffee tables if you let me:

loved this one. very nuevo estilo if paired with a colorful velvet sofa, no?

can you see that price tag? stupid:

yessssssssssssssssssssss:

contender for g/uest room. price included matching nightstands and dresser:

do people still match their furniture?

* sorry if you do. i mean no offense *

more stupid. gorgeous, but stupid:

i'm still considering this table:

it has beautiful detailing on the tabletop, and has a butterfly leaf system, which i really love because it stays round

french-y furniture kills (so did the price tag):

i am such a sucker for crystal decanters:

(of which my awesome mama gifted us 2 for christmas!!!!!!)

and they're better than all of these combined. i'll show you someday.

nice pedestal, attractive details:

only as a set and there weren't enough chairs.

plus, the price was not friendly. but i'm cheap frugal, so take that for what you will.

WHAT if you had a tabletop full of this gorgeousness?!?!!?!?

oh, you could do so many things with this china:

hahahahahahaha - i would never. but it sure is fun:

smoked gray chandy. i still think about this. the price really was right:

the mirror is missing and you can't tell that that's a marble countertop.

this was nails in person. more than i could spend on a non-essential piece of furniture,

but beautiful:

i love this to the end of the earth and back!!!!

another contender for g/uest room. could an 11-year-old possibly dig this?

it would be handed down to generation after generation of little tobe and erics:

get rid of the disgusting silk and we'll talk:

there were 6, which was awesome.

lovely strong occasional table:

my pimp cup and travel mug:

i think i'm going back for these napkin rings:

you would, right? for $16?

there were two of these:

WHO WALKS AWAY FROM A PAIR OF THESE???????

idiot.

when i'm queen with a giant sunroom:

this octagonal table was ridiculously fun with the navy upholstered chairs:

i just couldn't commit to a glass table if we're going to be having the chitlins (someday).

right?

something stopped me.

but the price was right on all counts.

all right. tell me what i'm going back for . . .
