furniture sneak peak!

Four pieces of furniture were delivered this weekend, the perfect couch & chair, a walnut credenza, and my first furniture investment (Nate Berkus encouraged me) a late-50's teak Buffet! They are just sitting in their places right now till my new floors are in and Amanda does her magic, but I'm so excited, I wanted to show you :) And to break the blogger perfection, my house is in it's regular pile-mode and not staged for a house photoshoot ;)
Fun fact: I delivered 3 of the 4 pieces! I rented a u-haul box truck and drove that baby around the city all by myself! Big bear! Then Keith helped me take away the old furniture and unload till 2am = sweetie!
And on a sidenote, I'm growing my hair long :)

  2. LA- For those of us who are peg locals, you must post the names of the stores you go! My god woman, you have the midas touch!!! You should offer a service as a personal vintage shopper. That chair is rad.

    High five on driving a U-haul. You're braver then me.

    Also, I too am growing my hair out. Its a bit shorter then yours. Tell me, does it seem like the longer it gets, the more it falls out?? I'm shedding everywhere.

  19. WOW! I really love your choice of furniture. I myself have been looking for vintage furniture for my house but have had no luck or funds. I have found several that at estate sales or thrift stores. My best find was when I purchased my house 2 years ago from the original owners family. It was built in 1964 and is in original condition. Keep up the good work.

  27. AHHH!!! I think I just had a heart attack and died of envy.

    The fabric on that chair is g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. Please don't tell me the couch is matching. I don't think my heart can take it.

    Is that teak buffet a Hugo Troeds? Stunning!

    I just picked up a mid-century modern credenza from H.T. The handle on mine is not recessed like yours. I've been searching online for more information, but can't find another one like it.

    Kudos on your fab finds!
