Sunday Afternoon Thrifty Browsing.

Today was quite the productive day for us. After selling these bedside tables to a better home where they could finally fit in, we immediately went out and about to our favorite thrift/antique stores to find replacements ones to fit our style. We were HIGHLY successful- but I'll post pictures of them tomorrow, when there's some daylight so you can get the full effect. Tonight I wanted to share some instagram pics of amazing pieces we wish we could've brought home with us. Ah, the joys of furnishing on a budget.

Hope everyone else who was out there today had successful thrifty Sundays!

Vintage French Provincial Two-Tier End Table - FOR SALE

This piece is another that we picked up before we decided we were going to turn our apartment into a mid-century modern time warp, not a vintage French-provincial cottage. We picked it up at an antique shop in Mesa, and let me tell you, if we had a storage unit (or any extra space whatsoever), I would not be parting with this table.

This little black beauty was expertly refinished and treated by its previous owners so that the lighter brown shows through the black on the edges -- super cute. I need to learn how to do that asap. It's in perfect, like-new condition. That last picture is how it looks in our apartment currently. (Sidenote: that armchair, originally from Copenhagen Furniture? We scored off Craigslist. That silk tree in the corner? Goodwill. Neither of those are for sale though. Sorry folks.)

We're asking $60 for this non-shabby shabby chic piece. As always, email us at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com if you're interested and would like to check it out!

Mid-Century Modern Executive Desk - Sold!

Update: The desk has been sold to our good friends Dan and Audrey. Which means Trevor can still visit it from time to time -- what a win-win situation!

Trevor has been on the prowl for a mid-century modern desk to be his work-at-home command center since, well, it feels like forever. This desk is absolutely perfect, with warm cherry-brown wood, a removable glass top, metal feet, and...it's really large. Too large, turns out, for our apartment. Which is why I'm the one posting this instead of Trevor -- he's still too heartbroken that he can't keep it.

So, once again, our loss is your gain. This desk measures 6 feet long X 29 inches high X 3 feet deep. If you are lucky enough to have a bigger apartment than us, or a house, this desk is begging to come home with you. It's made by Alma Desk Company and is in fabulous vintage condition -- I'd suggest a touch up on the veneer on two of the corners, and it's perfect. A power desk, for sure.

We're asking $180 or best offer for this bad boy. As always, contact us at thriftybusinessphx@gmail.com if you're interested!

Eastern-Inspired Bamboo Broyhill Bedside/End Tables - Sold!

Update: These have sold! Thanks Susan, we hope you love them!

About two months ago, we bought this pair of Broyhill tables to be our bedside tables for our future apartment. Once we actually moved in, however, we decided a mid-century modern look would better suit our modern, loft style apartment. Oh well -- our indecision is your gain!

We'd love to find these end tables a new home, and get over our guilt for abandoning them so quickly. The pair are for sale for $120 -- $60 each. They look great as is, or could be painted and re-finished a bright, bold color like we were originally intending to do. Check out what this blogger did with similar-looking tables.
