(It reminds me alot of my sister's dresser that I blogged about here.)
So, I went back. And, found this newly marked price tag:
Yes, I think that was God's sign that it should probably be our new TV console :) I painted one coat of gray this morning but I think it's going glossy white tomorrow to match our bookshelves. And, I'm still debating on what to do with the pulls. I think I'll just clean them up. Here's a sneak peak:
Also at Goodwill, I found this urn for $2 (just stuck a moss-covered ball from Michael's in it) and this painting for $4. Not sure if it says "tacky" or "I have character," but I thought I might paint the frame and see if I get inspired.
What have you found at Goodwill lately? I just love the thrill of the hunt.
I'm so jealous! Those are great finds Emily.
ReplyDeleteI have been on the lookout for a sideboard just like that...$9.99, I can't believe it!
ReplyDeleteA couple of days ago I scored a blue glazed pot/urn (which is now white) and a box of painted wooden fruit for $2 (which will soon be white). So much fun:o)

9.99? You had to buy it! I can't wait to see it all painted and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe console is awesome and for 9.99 - that's incredible. Love the urn! Yeah, I love goodwill....I'm always popping my head in there to see what I might find.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got that chest for $10! I just got a really cute french chair at Goodwill for $8.00! In great shape, too! Painted it white and changed the upholstery - looks like a million bucks. Can't wait to see the total picture!
ReplyDeleteI must be walking into my goodwill with blinders on...I never see stuff like this cabinet! Looking good!! Janell
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Can't wait to see the console when it's finished, and where the other finds end up.

I am awed at all your good finds! Can't wait to see how this looks in your room.
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! 10 bucks!? cannot wait to see how it turns out. it's going to look a. ma. zing.
ReplyDeletenice find. i love the goodwill. i just did a collection of prints in my hallway for $13.00 from the goodwill, i blogged about it so you should check it out!
ReplyDeleteStunning! I would like you to know that your blog post about redoing the clients bedroom and painting the dark wood furniture spurred a debate in our house... after I commented and said I might be inundating you with emails on how to re-decorate our new rental in California the preppy boyfriend found a bed he liked on craigslist and I said....oooohhh I would love to paint that bed... and he said you can't paint wood... and I replied painting furniture is one of the easiest ways to re-do a room, there are just some things boys don't understand :) so I may need lots of great and wonderful examples of repainted furniture when it comes time to re-decorate. Also, I haven't had time to browse your whole site, but it's looking like we probably won't be able to re-paint the rental, and I think the walls are just plain white (I hate plain white walls), I was thinking of using draperies to cover up some of that plain whiteness (although the room has 16 foot ceilings) but have you done any decorating jobs that have used draperies, or do you have any inspiring images, or resources were I should be looking for that sort of inspiration....
ReplyDeletewhew I think I hijacked enough of your comment space without saying anything about your actual post! That console has great potential I think it will look stunning painted glossy white... didn't habitually chic blog do something like that for a store display a few months ago?
That is such a cool piece - and for $10?! Unheard of! LOVE the pulls - I wouldn't touch 'em!
ReplyDeleteGreat score! I was at Sally Ann the other day and I think whoever prices out their stuff reads blogs because everything is priced high. Hmm... I think they are onto us!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I persevere a great deal will come up! I have found some great stuff though, I should complain too much :) Just haven't gotten around to blogging about it!
Thanks for the email too, I will let you know when I repaint the bookcases!
Lovely items...and i love your blog too!
ReplyDeleteI just saw a similar console this morning at my local Goodwill for $15. I soooo wanted to bring it home with me, but same deal...it wouldn't fit in my car. Hopefully it will be there when I go back. Love what you're doing with yours and can't wait to see the final product!

what great finds!!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a good eye. I can't wait to see the finished product. Carol
ReplyDelete$10?!?! Seriously? What a buy! Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!! I haven't had much luck at Goodwill lately but stop by my blog and see what I scored on Craigslist!!! www.treaures.blogspot.com ;)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, that dresser! And at that price! I can't wait to see it's new lease on life when you are done with it!
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to share how you clean the pulls. I tried cleaning up some old dresser pulls to no avail and ended up replacing them.
ReplyDeleteSo so jealous!! That is like the best find ever!
ReplyDeleteWell this was an interesting find. If memory serves me correctly, this bureau looks like my in-laws old bedroom set circa 1969.
ReplyDeleteBTW I didn't get a chance to post earlier but I totally love your family room.
Ok. I am officially going to goodwill this weekend. What a fab find! I wonder if Miami goodwill's have finds as good as that.
ReplyDeleteThis would have been an amazing find even for 5x that! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing find! I hope one day to be so lucky!!! Can not wait to see it all finished!
ReplyDeleteoh wow Emily, great finds, the console, $9.99?? WOW!! (2 wow's...sorry! but im really wowed!!)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that giant credenza was under $10!!!! CRAZY. Can't wait to see it in white (and I say keep the pulls!).
ReplyDeleteI never seem to have any luck thrifting. I think it's a serious lack of patience on my part. I think painting the frame is exactly what that pic needs. Good luck.
ReplyDelete$9.99??? that is too good to be true. i can't wait to see it in all its glossy white glory.
ReplyDeleteI defintely think that console was meant to be!! $9.99? That's crazy.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to look amazing.
I need to go Goodwill hunting soon, maybe I can find something just as amazing.
Shut up, $9.99?! That is absolutely incredible! I've scored some deals lately but none that good. I think I might need to scope out a local Goodwill store this weekend....
ReplyDeleteyou are so good at refurbishing! I am dying to hit up the good will now!
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive! It's not Goodwill, but I had a few glasses of wine and sat down at the computer......and bid on these Hollywood Regency chairs. I got them for $11.50 each! (Plus $99 shipping). They are truly hideous with great bones. Now, I just need to decide what color to paint them and what fabric to reupholster them in!
ReplyDeleteI've been cheating on Goodwill with a local antiques mall lately. I found some plates and a really unique candlestick last week. The hunting is always fun.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a great deal and i can see it in a white gloss paint.... :)))))))))
