Fab Friday Finds – Get Your Stools in a Row

June 1, 2012  I Scored at the Thrift Store

Three is definitely a charm …

and I was charmed by these industrial stools found over the last few weeks.

A little yelp was emitted from my lips when I spotted the first white metal & wood stool.

The second stool had me doing my happy dance.

But when I ran in a frenzy towards the industrial drafting stool in the dark, dank recesses of an estate sale basement, I think I frightened small children and pets.

Pin It

But I can console myself knowing I’ll never see those people again (right)?!

 

Newsflash!

Karianne from Thistlewood Farm and I have started a new blog – A Dust Bunny Life.

It’s all about keeping things simple – we’d love your submissions with your favorite simple ideas.

Stop over and visit and listen to our first podcast where we chat with Debbie from Debbiedoo’s.

    I love those stools! You lucky girl. Those are the real things instead of the reproductions you see sold everywhere these days. You just reminded me that I have an estate sale to go to. Must go get ready!

    love YOUR stools Kelly. I looked high and low for counter stools that would be similar to this style. I wound up getting reproductions that are pretty good. These are awesome. Thanks for the podcast interview as well. Heading over now.

    Ok, I first read that as ‘get your stool in a row’, as in #2. So happy to see the pics were much prettier than I was imagining. That last one is my fave!!!

    And congrats on the new blog!! You gals rock!

    Oh- exciting news about the new blog. Congratulations.
    Those stools bring flashback memories of science classes in junior high.

    A yelp, happy dance and frenzy all in the same day. I’d say that was a perfect day! Great finds! I think I would have scared some people to in my pursuit of that drafting chair!

    A lot of potty mouths talking about your stools, Kelly! Please just polish them – I am begging. The middle one was exactly like the one we used in high school biology class with the place for your books underneath. (I know I am dating myself, but I don’t care.) At estate sales. the strongest are the survivors – mow those children down!

    Those are amazing finds. I would not only frightened small children, but everyone around me. I am not quiet when I find amazing things like this. Good thing for me, dumpster diving and trash hunting is a solo, early morning hobby.

    Usually I’m bummed I can’t thrift with you
    or sometimes I’m even jealous of your good finds-
    but now I know we were never meant to be thrifting buddies anyhow.
    For had we been out together on this day…we surely would have gotten into a fistfight over some stool!
    Love ya and your ridiculously amazing finds!! {especially the third one- ughhhh!}
