The most bizarre thing happened at an estate sale I went to on Thursday. The house was situated on a very steep hill off of an extremely narrow, one lane road. We all had to park as best we could, avoiding the ditch. 10 minutes after the sale began, the police were out ticketing all the cars for illegal parking.
A herd of people had run into the house; ten minutes later the same herd of people (including me) ran out of the house.
It was pretty amusing.
However, that is not what I wanted to post about - but maybe someone should do a link party for posts about weird sales.
I know I've some stuff to share.

So. Back to furniture.
My taste is eclectic to say the least. I like things that are so different it's hard to imagine they belong to the same person. I often don't know why I like something I just do and I've always thought there must be some commonality that I don't see on a conscious level.

I mean, I don't even LIKE mid-century modern. It goes with NOTHING in my house. This thing is a total orphan. There's not even a spot for it. It's in the way! Yet, I had to have it and home with me it came.
It IS kinda cute.
The cutest little feet EVER!
It looks like a cartoon character and probably sneaks around in the night.
And the other little tables I love probably sneak around, too ...

Well, I guess that's what it is then. The mystery is solved.
I own a mid-century modern table because it looks like a
Wee Little Creature.
Huh. Just like those sneaky architect desk lamps. Maybe Pixar should do a movie with cute little tables as the protagonists.
Right?

As I'm reading this, I keep nodding my head in agreement. We like what we like, whether we know why we like it or not. I tell people that the common thread in the things I bring home and choose to keep is the fact that I LIKE them. Do this long enough and everything will make sense.
ReplyDeleteI did a little 2-drawer chest last year that had a little cartoon face on it ... if you looked at it just right and used your imagination. I'm really glad it sold quickly, because I swore that it was always staring at me.
I would LOVE to see a picture of that!
DeleteA friend of R2D2? I love it...great bones.
ReplyDeleteDid you know in order to comment, one has to type in those nasty squiggly words? I bet you would get more comments without that.
Love your blog posts.
R2D2 is what I call the sneaky little wood stove in the post. :-) Except, even sitting here looking at it, I expect it to scuttle toward me like a really fast spider. Okay, I creeped myself out.
DeleteI think you're on to something there. They are all so adorable and each has a personality all its own.

So funny! I too do not personally want the MCM furniture in my house, as it too goes
ReplyDeletewith nothing!! But I'm addicted to finding the pieces to re-do! I don't know what it is. I'm in the LA area and the stuff is pretty hot out here right now. I did a credenza in tangerine that turned out divine! I have two more dressers for sale as we speak.
That little chest you got with the hairpin legs are quite a score! That could be so cute!
Have you thought up a color? Something bright and glossy I hope.
Have fun!!
