brimfield recap + new additions

Our trip out to the Brimfield Antique Show was a lot of fun. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the prices - I thought they were high and not everyone was willing to negotiate. And I didn't see a lot of the little items that I was looking for to update my shop - so I'll need to plan another trip to Maine in the next few of weeks for that. Nonetheless, there was a lot of cool stuff and we did buy a few things - including the side board below which was much needed piece for our dining room!

When I have the time I'm going to give it a fresh coat of paint (maybe a fun color?) and update the hardware.

Pat - so overwhelmed by everything, but trying to stay supportive!!

Herbie.

Cool bentwood chairs that could be awesome with an update.

New (old) side board in our dining room with the yellow lamp I picked up at Homegoods this weekend 50% off! I'm still organizing art etc. so this pic is a work in progress.

Lastly, a zebra rug that I bought at Homegoods (not sure where it's going yet... although I'm kind of enjoying the life it brings to our kitchen) and a galvanized metal bucket and #8 gas station sign (also from Brimfield).

brimfield tomorrow!

SO SO excited for my trip to Brimfield Antique Show tomorrow - the forecast is sunny and 60's, which couldn't be better. Hopefully I will have lots of great stuff (and photos) to share when we're back.

speaking of antiques...

The Brimfield Antique Show is coming up and I told my boyfriend that all I want for my 25th birthday is for him to take the day off and go with me (esp since C will be away on the 12th!). I went for the first time last year and it was awesome. This year will be even better since we need furniture for our new apartment and for a couple of other projects that I'm working on. I reeeeally want a cool console table that I can fix up - such as this one from Domino (scanned via the Domino Book of Decorating). Brimfield is the largest outdoor antiques show in the world and this years dates are May 11-16, July 13-18, and September 7-12.
