Found: Bathroom Vanity

So, after months and months searching thrift stores, antique shops and craigslist, we finally found our vanity!!! It was definitely worth the wait. I was getting a little discouraged, thinking that my idea to repurpose an old piece of furniture for our vanity was wishful thinking. Jeremy was watching my craigslist obsession carefully and was about to have an intervention. (thanks for your patience, J!)

Luckily, we came upon a $30 nightstand on craigslist that was just the right size and look for our bathroom redo. The woman in Clayton who sold it to me said it was passed down from her mother, but she just didn't have a place for it.

And, I just picked out a vessel sink and faucet that will hopefully transform this piece into a fully functioning bathroom vanity. Here's hopin'!

Bonjour!

Vintage Tea Towels

Lately, I have been drawn to the patterns and colors of vintage tea towels. They are so quirky and fun. These are a few that I found on etsy.

How cool is this?

Vintage Chairs

St. Louis Craigslist, Vintage Wooden Chairs, $75 for both

I am finding some good things on craigslist this morning! These chairs are absolutely beautiful. When I find something like this I try to find a purpose for them in my house to justify the purchase. Unfortunately, I can't come up with a reason right now, which is why you should buy them!

You can find them here.

Gate Headboard

St. Louis Craigslist, metal gate, $50

I saw this on craigslist this morning and I absolutely love it! My first thought was that this could make an amazing twin headboard. You could leave it as is in its primitive state or paint it a bright yellow or red for a more modern look.

Buy it here.
