Weekend Thrifting

Photo Mar 25, 8 27 24 AM Hubby and I were out shopping for bargains again this weekend.  He spotted a great coffee table that I had seen several weeks ago, but thought was overpriced.  It finally got marked down…so it’s mine now. 

Photo Mar 25, 8 26 39 AMMy initial intent was to clean it up, cover up the scratches, and flip it.  But once we got it home, we both fell in love.  So out goes my old coffee table (which was purchased with the intent of being temporary anyway) and in goes my “new” retro table.  I’m thrilled with it! 

I’m sharing a few shots I took.  I’ve been working on my sofa pillow arrangement too. You can compare these pictures to the ones in  my previous blog to see the old table and old pillow arrangement.

I added a few shells to one of my vintage ashtrays that I’ve been collecting (here). The ashtray brings a touch of coral to the coffee table without screaming matchy matchy.
