Once again, a Saturday out with BJ. And once again, goodies abound. First I shall tell you of the lovely, lovely items I did not buy. A beautiful china cabinet at Thrift Store City in Norfolk. Had I the spare 200 smackers I still couldn't have got it because it was already sold. *sigh* . It was about time they had a decent price on a new (ish) piece of furniture. They have a tendency to be notoriously high (a dining room set for $900, puh-lease!). So you can imagine my shock and surprise at a price I would actually consider paying.
There was also a dresser that matched my recent Salvation Army find. There was only one major difference and that was the handles, my piece has hidden grooves under the drawers and this piece does not. Considering that this dresser was from a different company (Bassett) I suppose differences are to be expected. $70 wasn't a bad price either as we are talking solid wood here.
For $13, I could have got my hands on a similar nightstand. There was some damage to the top. I think it was definitely salvageable and worth the price. I'm a little traditional however in my desire to have matching nightstands and since there was only the one, it was a no-go.
Onto the Goodwill Outlet where I bought a Target lamp for only 2 bucks! It still had the tag that said it was $29.99. Woot-woot, more than 90% off! Now I just have to get a shade. Which is the truth for 4 other lamps in my home. If only I could find nice shades as easily as I find nice bases.I also found a little piece of canvas art for my bedroom.
