One of the reason's I became a furniture/home decor buyer was, because I love hunting for new product/designers that the general public isn't aware of yet. I also enjoy getting my hands dirty at thrift shops; flea markets, and antique shops in podunk towns. There is a thrill in finding something beautifully weathered that you know you'll have a home for.
Since leaving my job as a buyer for a luxury modern design company to support my husbands military career move, I haven't been able to bring new designs/designers to market, but that doesn't mean that I've lost that itch for the hunt.
This past weekend while my husband was away I took my very well behaved 10 month old out, and sorted through shelves at antique shops, and rummaged through bins at the flea market in downtown syracuse.
We found solid brass candlesticks for $10 for the pair at an antique shop, and at the flea just as I was about to give up, and head for the car I spotted a Thonet cane seat chair hidden behind a dining table and scored it for $10! What are some of your favorite finds?
