Check out this incredible mid-centrury vinyl chair we garbage picked earlier this week:
Isn't it gorgeous?! It's in great condition! It has some scratches on the edges of the vinyl, and a typewriter sat on it for a long time and left marks (we garbage picked the typewriter too!), and it was filthy, so we wiped it down with Krud Kutter and it looks good as almost-new!
So excited to put it in my living room. When we picked it up, we thought we might recover it with funky fabric, but honestly it cleaned up so nice that I don't think it needs to be covered.
What a great find! I get a lot of groans and eye-rolling from my husband to be when I suddenly begin demanding that we pull over to examine promising curbside furniture, but this just proves there are treasures to be had!
ReplyDeleteSarah, tell your hubs to shut it! :)
ReplyDeleteI am pretty lucky to have a husband who is supportive of my garbage picking habit. Any time we pass an interesting pile of trash and I say, "Ooh!" Devon will slam on the brakes and stop for me!
That's great. Every Monday and Thursday my husband and I head out at about 7 with the kids in the back seat and drive up and down the street looking for these treasures, our little ones are 3 and 8 months and we're pretty sure they haven't caught on yet. Amazing what some people consider trash, eh?
ReplyDeleteCome check out my blog, we'd probably have a lot in common
