Flea Market Finds - Part 2

Here's some more of the photos I shot while "junkin" the other day with my friend, Sarah:

BASKET - $5.00



I thought this would look GREAT on the floor, next to a fireplace, filled with white birch logs, like these:





PIE CABINET - $89.00







The patina is to die for!



TALL LAMP - $25.00





I would spray paint the base a creamy white, but leave the shade alone. I love the shade. It's super tall for a table lamp, and could really make a statement.




PIGEON CAGE - $35.00



Wouldn't this make a great coffee table? Put on some chunky casters and top it with a thick piece of beveled glass...viola!




PLANT STAND - $19.99



I love that there is a shelf on the bottom. You could put a couple of zinc mesh baskets down there, like the three on the bottom shelf in this photo:






GREEN SHUTTERS - $18.00/for the pair





KING-SIZE HEADBOARD - $40.00



It's constructed from real branches. I love it's organic quality.



HUTCH - $12.95



I could see this painted in any color, maybe bulked up a bit with some extra moulding, and sitting on top of a cute little desk. I found this one online:

PRINTERS DRAWER - $14.95



Can't you just see it painted or stained and each little compartment filled with a tiny little seashell?



SIDE TABLE - $9.99



Painted out and topped with glass, this little table would be so cute next to a big comfy chair! I'm a sucker for anything that has caning on it.


PULLEY - $28.00





RULER BOX - $5.00



I could see this in a cottagey office, on a desk, holding paper clips and push pins, etc.


OLD BLUE HEATER - $34.00

I think this would make an awesome planter... :-)





SHUTTERS - SMALL $8.00/ea. MEDIUM $10.00/ea. LARGE $18.00/ea.







Remember the ornately carved screen in yesterdays post?



Well, I must be on to something, because I just opened up the newest Pottery Barn magazine that came in the mail today, and look what's in the corner of this bedroom:



Then, WHILE I was looking at the Pottery Barn magazine, I was also watching "My Parents House" on HGTV, and look what they used behind the TV in their design:




I did find ONE more thing to photograph. It also made its way home with me. I've got some work to do on it, but I will post before and after photos tomorrow! :-)

  14. You had some fun at the flea market! Wow! Junking is fun.

    I love the pigeon cage and I really liked the inspiration photo for it. I'm also very drawn to the large pulley and pie cabinet.
