Let's see, if today is Tuesday I've been on the road for about 24 hours. I'm a road warrior for the next few days. Taking a road trip to pick up some purchases I made on ebay that I didn't want delivered. It's 11:20 pm as I'm writing this and I'm beat. Tomorrow I hit it hard again.
Of course I've already hit five thrift stores. Purchases come later. Today's post is about what I didn't buy. As I said, I hope it wasn't something great that I let get away from me.
This china cabinet (separate hutch and base) was in a shop just south and west of Orlando. It had a price of $100 on it. I asked for seventy five, but the best counter offer I got was eighty. So here is the eighty dollar mid century china cabinet I let get away. Please tell me it was no big thing.
It was in a really narrow aisle and I couldn't get a picture of the whole thing at one time, so kind of stitch the pieces together in your mind and let me know what you think.
I do like how the ends flared out. |
The wood doesn't match in the pictures, but in the store it looked better. |
Two drawers in the middle, and a door on each end. |
It was very clean. No scratches or anything. |
I really like the leg detail. |
I really like Danish Modern. A lot. It was hard to pass this up. Okay my friends, give it to me straight. Did I pass up a once in a lifetime piece? Or was it no big deal?
We'll be right back with . . . more stuff.
I have this piece as well as the matching table and chairs. Unknown maker but it's magnificent. I've seen this china cabinet sell online for as high as $650.
ReplyDeleteHi GP
ReplyDeleteSo eighty bucks was probably a pretty good deal, huh?
Tell me, does the wood on yours match better than in these pictures?
When I saw the pictures I thought - is that even the same cabinet I was just shooting?
It may not have been the miss of a lifetime, but if I'd stumbled upon this, it would have a new home!
ReplyDeleteI definitely would have snatched this up for $80. Really, you were only $5 away but I would have waffled a little before loading it!
ReplyDeleteMy wood matches very nicely, I think walnut. Pictures are here:

I do hope someone makes it to Orlando and rescues it!

Pssst!
ReplyDeleteHey Suzy, I have it on good authority that the danish modern china cabinet found a good home just two days after I saw it and left it there.
More to come.
Thought I would see if I could make your link clickable.
