We went to this year’s White Elephant Sale Preview Sale and saw some great stuff. As usual, a warehouse the size of Gotham was filled with everything from great mid-mod furniture to ugly used shirts from the 1990’s; from women’s shoes with ruffles to abstract art painted on cereal boxes.
Some of this booty we snatched up ourselves (I’ll blog about that later in my haul video) but I’m here now to report about the other stuff – pieces that caught my eye but not my wallet. If any of this looks of interest, the public sale is March 6/7!
This 60's dresser was kind of ugly-cute; the wood and color were awful, but the way the 'picture frames' on either side comprised the drawer handles was fab. The rattan-accented mirror would look right at home in any James-Bond-set-in-Majorca movie, and the middle of the dresser sported 3 hidden drawers.
This is the piece-de-resistance; I kept returning to this piece, trying to find a reason to buy it. A mere $150 for this great mid-mod hutch with green felt-lined flatware drawers, inset legs, and space-age hyperboloid drawer handles. It's small enough to fit into a small SF-side apt. too!
This hutch was a little more standard mid-mod fare, but nice and nicely built.
Am I wrong to like this 60's mediterranean blonde-wood dresser/sideboard? (sorry for the blurry picture; I must have fainted)
