Well, technically it’s Goodwill karma this time, but once again I scored! $40 for this fantastic piece of genuine Midcentury goodness. Just look at the legs on this beauty! Oh my gosh, I nearly fainted when I saw it.
I ran in to the Goodwill on our way back from horseriding and I didn’t have a tape measure, so I used Atti. The buffet measured one and a half Atti’s long, which was right on the borderline of too big. But it was just too perfect to walk away from! Bear and I went back for it later that night and brought it home, crossing our fingers it would fit in the last place we need a great piece of furniture.
It didn’t.
My living room’s loss is my studio’s gain. I’ve long wanted to get another dresser to put in this spot – heaven knows I could always use more storage space. I used to have an enormous creaky ironing board along this wall and it always made me crazy. Noisy and lopsided, it was way more trouble than it was worth and took up a ton of valuable real estate. Now I’m thrilled with how this corner looks.
And the kitties are happy with one more place to nap.
