Moving Up!

 
Remember when I told you that we had been dreaming about opening an actual brick & mortar? 

Well, we've finally decided to take the plunge.
Our booth has done great, but it's small and half of the stuff we have just can't fit.
And we are beginning to REALLY look like hoarders.

And when you find something in life that you love doing, why not take the chance? You can't ever succeed without trying right?
And we have such a passion for mid century. 
We live and breath this stuff.
I even dream about it, I love it so much.

And since our house is already packed full of it, and our garage runneth' over we've decided that to run our own shop is the next thing for us.

I know it'll be awhile to get it up and running,
so much is involved in opening a shop,
but I really can't wait.

When you get old...

...Buying furniture really does make you so happy!

Case in point...our new favorite piece: An Eames replica recliner!

The couple we bought it from have the most incredible mid century styled house. I wish I could show you pictures!

Kyle & I walked in there and literally couldn't even talk because it was so amazing!

I think they were sad to see their chair go...

Isn't it beautiful?

Thrifty Thursday (a day late)

This beautiful chair was a really great Thrifty find.


Kyle worked magic getting it.
It was in a house that was up for sale.
He called the realtor,
who got the name of the owner, he called the owner, 
and days later the owner finally called back.


It now sits next to our funky couch and the size difference is incredible.


People really were much smaller in the 50's.
And the furniture they make now is huge.


So next up on our list is a couch that fits our chair,
but shoot it's so hard to find a mid century couch that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Random

Yesterday (thanks to my brother in law and his talented picking skills), Kyle was able to purchase a beautiful mid century chair and headboard for our house! 

And it felt so good to get rid of our old stanky chair! 

Which makes us a lot closer to our goal of being 100% mid century in our house....I'd guess-timate we are about 70% now. 

There's not a spindle leg I don't love, let me tell you!

I'll show pictures of them tomorrow!  

And onto another random topic, we think we found a new place to live in Redlands right down the street from Brandon's school and so much bigger for so much less. 

Good combination if you ask me.

We find out for sure in 3 days. 

And if we get it we'll be moving at the end of the month.

Bittersweet...

I hope you all are having a great week!
