Okay, finally something resembling a real post!

After being inspired by RetroRenovation.com to post a picture of a vintage find I figured, well, I have the picture handy, why not finally make a post on here?

Welcome to my dining room

Now, oddly enough, normally my dining room doesn't have a table in it, it's usually living room #2, but I'm actually selling the table and chairs a la kijiji at the moment so it needed to be set up somewhere. I scored the table for $5 at a local thrift shop, and the chairs that are with it are part of a set I bought at a yard sale last summer and then lovingly up-cycled by painting them white.

The teak buffet and hutch was another score for $75 at a thrift shop here in Winnipeg, the round thing on the bottom shelf inside the cabinet is called a donut phone and I also scored that from a local yard sale. The big round orb on top is a radio/8-track player that I paid $40 for, so not quite a super great bargain, but I'd wanted one for a while and it certainly was less than others I've come across over the years.

This of course reminds me that it's Sunday and I should be out and about at yard sales. Does anyone else ever get the feeling that they are missing out on stuff when they don't religiously head out to yard sales and things? I realistically don't have any more room, but I can't help but obsess over what I might be missing out on. Sigh. Happy hunting!
