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.

Thrifted Thoughts: Ornate Sideboard

Thrifted Thoughts: Ornate Sideboard

By modnest on June 9, 2011

Pieces in disrepair often get passed by because buyers assume that the fixes will be much scarier than they really are. Take, for instance, this sideboard. The top is badly gouged and chipped.
