And Still More Fun Finds.....

In case you don't already know this about me, a few years ago we bought a very cool 70's home with lots of bedrooms. Since it is too much house for us (and we couldn't afford to live in it anyway) we rent the entire house out, along with two smaller cottages, to 10 senior citizens. My sons and I cook 3 meals a day for them and then we go home. It's a win win situation. You'll never find more responsible and respectful renters. Of course I don't know what goes on after we leave. It's anybody's guess! It is also home for many of the items I find in the thrift stores.

These chairs are not recent finds, I've had them a few months but I don't think I ever included them in a post and they are too cute to leave out. (click on images for detail)

Recently, I ran across this low and stylish sofa at Salvation Army. It's perfect for the family room. It seats lots of people on movie nights. It came with two side chairs, one of them pictured below. The other one jumped out of the trailer on the way home. I saved the legs but the body was pretty badly torn up. Sad, very sad.

I found these lovely asian inspired oil paintings for $15.00 today and knew they would be right at home over the new sofa.

The teak end table was purchased the same day as the sectional. I forgot to mention, it was half off day. Both chairs, teak end table and the sectional for around $80.00.

Found this little ice bucket today and it fit right in with the rest of the new goodies.

I was very excited when I found this set of Henckel knives for $15.00. These are a big deal when you cook for a living. They retail for around $225.00! I was a very happy cook today.

Last but certainly not least is this cool chair I found for my desk in the kitchen. I love it. I would love to have found 4 of them, but one is good. It was a good week.
