1st Dibs Contest

Did you all see the Pinterest contest on 1st Dibs?

 It ends today so get over there and get pinning. You create a board with items from 1st Dibs that make a cohesive living room look. I went a little 70's glam crazy. Here is my look with the items I pulled from 1st Dibs:

Have fun with it!

burled me over

Was at my fabulous friend's store yesterday - Shaun Smith Home - and this burl wood desk/dining table blew me away. I have always wanted one and constantly have one in my watched list on Ebay, but the shipping always stops me. This one I could load up in my pal's SUV and with the center leaf out it is perfect in my tiny apartment!
Here it is in its full size...

 

And here it is in my house! I mostly love the matched burl patterns on the top...what do you think?

Ebay Score!

Well, I told you I had an amazing find in the works and here it is - my latest score on Ebay. These Curtis Jere brass table lamps!

I am so happy right now! They are signed and dated by Curtis Jere on the bottom. They were made in 1976 (the year I was born - I am a bicentennial baby), and they are so glam and shiny and sexy! They will replace the cream plaster bedside lamps I have currently. I am so into 70's glam, and I have never seen a pair of these for less than 4k! This pair on 1st Dibzies (below) is offered for 8k!

Now, my pair is not in perfect condition - I will re-plate them as I can afford it. But I have never shied away from restoring beautiful things, and these are collector's items that will continue to go up in value. So happy on this hump day! Have you made a great online score lately?
