“Leave it to you to turn a family trip in to a episode out of Samson and Son,” was my husband’s reply when my mom and went “browsing” at one of my favorite spots in Vegas.
I will admit, this scene looked pretty ridiculous.
See what we found then I ask, “can you blame me?”

This I brought back with me from the Antique Mall in Lexington, Virginia.
My mom scored these identical tables for $7.00 each from here.
Lamp, globe, brass container from antique stores in Lexington, Virginia.
I adopted these benches for $3.00.
I’ll admit, they’re not much to look at now but they will be when I get done with them. (I hope).
Found here.
$5.00 dollar velvet chair. My camera hit a glitch so I couldn’t photograph the back but it has lovely nailhead deatailing all over. Found here…again.

Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!

Oh man, you find the greatest things! that horse lamp SWOON! and I so wish that I could see the back of that chair, but I trust you when you say it looks good!

Those lamps look so Jonathan Adler! I love them. Jealous. 🙂

So jealous of your great finds!

I love your finds! Can’t wait to see what you do with all of them!
Great finds! I can’t wait to see how the stools turn out!
Awesome! Love the potential of the velvet chair.
(p.s. I think it’s “Sanford and Son.” just sayin. 🙂
Where is this place?
Um, I LOVE that lamp. It’s perfect!!!
P.S. Michelle, like Katieo said, it’s Sanford & Son.
I love all of your finds, but the lamp is the best of them;)
Lovely greetings…
These are great finds and at a steal. I contacted this store and it’s not the most cost effective option unless you live in driving distance, shipping is expensive. Next time I am in Vegas though I am shopping by…
I can’t believe the prices on the tables and benches! Wish I lived in driving distance to that place. Can’t wait to live vicariously through you and see what you do with them!
No way! Those are amazing finds! I wish I had found those benches…I already know what I’d do with them! Ha ha.
That velvet chair for $5?! What a great find. The horse lamp is great too.
Awesome finds!! That velvet chair is amazing and five dollars??? Can’t wait to see what you do!
wow, looks like you had a successful trip! can’t wait to see what you do with the stools. i love your new lamp!
awesome haul! i love that vegas is a doable trip for me! i need to check out that store. i am in dire need of some new nightstands—the ones i have now are from my college days and are falling apart. hmmm…how soon can i get down there…?
so many great buys! – My husbands the same way with me wanting to going to Targets while were out of town and wanting to pop in thrift stores – lol
What great finds! Can’t wait to see what you do with them
lol…Sanford and Son Michelle…LOL
Haha – about 6 years ago when my mom and I were at out favorite thrift shop in SC, we packed the car full of stuff. I kept humming and dancing to the tune of “Sanford and Son” and she laughed so hard she had to choke back her diet coke.
Thanks for reminding me – and I love your finds! My husbnd feels the same way when I do that on our trips.
I just found a vintage pull-out step stool along the side of the road – score!
Wish I knew you were in Richmond! Would have loved to shown you around to some of my secret spots! Let me know if you are ever back this way! Totty http://www.bootsandtotty.com
OMG i have been wanting one of those lamps, lucky you!
again, i cant wait to see what you do with these….it takes so much talent to be able to pick out a diamond in the rough!
Ditto — wish I knew you were in Richmond! Which Antique Mall? We have lots of great ones. Hope it was a wonderful vacation. Love what you’ve done with the boys’ room.
nope, can’t say that I blame you!
Sooo wish we had one of those in the Bay Area! Great source for furniture. Husbands never seem to appreciate these types of treasures until they are completed and pretty :)!
Great Finds! I saw a wooden horse lamp just like that at Goodwill for $5.99. I was so close to getting it, but didn’t. I’ve been kicking myself for it. Yours looks great!!
Drooling over those horse lamps. I think they are absolutely fabulous!
