Thrifted Thoughts: Tray Table

Thrifted Thoughts: Tray Table

By modnest on August 11, 2011

Ah, the tray table… Its classic lines will never go out of style. This one was in near perfect condition and could easily blend into your décor in an instant. But, if one was so inclined, they could take this table to the next level since it lends itself to many other crafty DIY ideas. [...]

Thrifted Thoughts: Wood Framed Loveseat

Thrifted Thoughts: Wood Framed Loveseat

By modnest on August 4, 2011

I’ve really been getting into Candice Olson’s new show, Candice Tells All, on W Network. In this week’s episode, she designed a room, blending the homeowner’s vintage furnishings with new furnishings. Just like I would have done, she revamped a bunch of the vintage pieces to make them work with the new design concept. My [...]

Thrifted Thoughts: Sloped Lounge Chair

Thrifted Thoughts: Sloped Lounge Chair

By modnest on July 28, 2011

My vintage chair addiction was spurred on this weekend when I spotted this Jetson-esque lounge chair at a local reuse centre. The slope of the back makes it super comfy and the curvy, wood arms add mega-personality. Regardless of its endearing qualities, this chair is a total do-over! The wood frame is badly scratched and [...]

Thrifted Thoughts: Teak Side Chair

Thrifted Thoughts: Teak Side Chair

By modnest on July 21, 2011

Teak side chairs can be found in almost every thrift shop, vintage store & flea market. But, they’re rarely found as a complete set. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing. One single chair is useful as a side chair in the living room, a place to perch in the entry or even as [...]

Thrifted Thoughts: X-Base Table

Thrifted Thoughts: X-Base Table

By modnest on July 14, 2011

I’m a big believer in owning a number of versatile pieces that can move from room to room to serve a variety of functions. Not only does this allow you to USE your furniture more but constantly mixing things up keeps your home looking fresh. When I spotted this x-base table, it occurred to me [...]
