I have officially taken my first street find! I have seen cane Breur chairs that are busted up and have case pieces that are completely unmanageable - but this I could pop into a cab and for $6.80 I have a little pouf like I had been wanting for my "dressing room".
Yesterday as I was leaving my clients and right as it began to rain, I spotted this gem on the sidewalk! After waiting several minutes and seeing an entire bedroom set on top of the dumpster, I deemed it fair game to take it home with me.
Once I got home I sprayed it down and scrubbed it with 409 (twice!) and unzipped the liner to make sure there were no horrific stains. I am still a little skeptical about taking an upholstery piece off of the street, but it seems to be sanitized! There is a little staining from denim and a scratch on the back side, but I really can't complain because it didn't cost me the $375 that Jonathan Adler wants it to cost me.
I ended up placing it between my two closets, opposite of my dresser so I have a sweet little spot to put my shoes on or to leave my handbag. And I have a pop of pink. So fun!
Update: I DID stick to my no shopping cleanse when it came to clothing and I think that deserves a new dress or something right?!
More to come soon!
Best,
Tori
