I may or may not have blogged about this site before, my apologies if I have! However, driving down Dupont today I noticed a big sign on an antique store advertising a content reduction sale on
YouBidLocal.com. It is a great online auction site of local stuff - a fabulous mix of eBay and your local auction house. Sadly this sale has since closed, but in perusing the current auctions, I found this set of rattan chairs - 4 of them - for a current bid of...$11.

I love cane furniture and always want to collect new designs. Here I found a lot of new and aggressive designs and planning to get some of them at my home.
ReplyDeleteReally nice! Love the idea of giving them a coat of glossy paint!
ReplyDeleteI agree Amelia - and it seems like a low-commitment way to get some high-impact colour in a room.
ReplyDeleteIt really is timeless, which makes it a good thing to collect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angelica! I never did find out what it sold for... Thanks for the comment! :)
ReplyDeleteToo true Tim - and good advice. Sometimes it is worth waiting for the better uqality option, even if it costs a bit more. :)
ReplyDeleteI know!! I am so sad I didn't keep an eye on them to see what they went for!
ReplyDeleteLove it. 10 points for the pun! :)
ReplyDeleteThey have pretty lines, don't they?
