Thrift Store Finds

Steph and Megan and I are planning to move into an apartment on July 1st, so we've been scouting for furniture. We just did our applications yesterday and put down a deposit. It's so fun to be finally doing that. Look what I found at the Habitat Store:

A little mid-century night stand, very well made, but with heinous drawer hardware and no character.
Megan and I painted it cream with tan inside the drawer and on the back of the shelf. Then we put the zinnia motif on the back and inside the drawer. We filled the holes from the other drawer hardware and used something more updated. I love it.



An adorable Hepplewhite chair, just what I've always wanted for my bedroom as a little desk chair. I've always thought Hepplewhite chairs were so classic, but I like them lacquered in color or in white more so than I do in the classic wood.
So there you have it...lacquered in red with a houndstooth seat. Classic.

More to come as we pull things together. I'm blessed to have roommates with incredibly good taste, so it will be fun to see what we can come up with together to make this little apartment a home. :)
