I did a lot of vintage shopping this past weekend and came up with pretty great finds. I bought a beautiful air plant at Flora Grubb Gardens, a pair of orange velvet wing chairs at Harrington's, a handsome wooden desk with neoclassical details at the SF Antique Mall and a pair of precious brass quails from the Candlestick Antique Faire. Phew! I am going to reupholster the chairs in two different fabrics as they will go in different rooms. The desk is going to get painted in a yet to be decided color. Stay tuned for some before and after posts in the coming weeks. Thanks to my partner in crime Becky for a fun shopping extravaganza!

This gets my antiquing itch going. Great finds and looking forward to seeing what you do with them. That orange chair is pretty cool as is too.
ReplyDeleteNew to your blog and completely smitten from this post alone. I must admit, I love the desk as is, as I'm a sucker for natural wood. I'm also very intrigued by your apartment and am aching to see more!
ReplyDeleteThat desk has awesome lines. And I love, love the plant from Flora Grubb -- one of my favorite places to go when I can get into the city. Isn't their succulent wall piece amazing?
