Red & Orange

So here we have a few new things, both coming in at a combined amount of under $50, not too shabby.

First, we have a pair of orange salt & pepper shakers... but these are not just any salt & pepper shakers, these are from 1946 in perfect condition still with the original box! Nice right? And only 8 bucks and in perfect working condition. A nice touch to the apartment in my opinion and a nice match with my new favorite orange chair that I just happen to be sitting in right now.

And second, is my new shinny red cabinet from Ikea that I gave my finger a nice injury with while putting it together. Oh battle wounds from Ikea, nice stuff. So now I have this nice treat (topped with a book from miss stephanie) to sit by in my orange chair everyday instead of my ugly black plastic thing I had before.

Life is looking good here, now to see what next paycheck brings :)

And the chair goes to...

So, as you can see from the image above, I got the chair! As I had mentioned the other day on this blog I purchased a vintage 1958 dresser (pictures to come in the next post... I also got lots of goods to share with you at the local antique affair), and while picking up the dresser this past Friday evening I made a deal with the shop owner that brought the would be $350 chair down to $200. I could not resist, and as you can see it now sits nicely in my living room area :)

So, anyone in the market for a $120 Ikea chair?

Karlstad Ikea Swivel Chair

I want this...

Anyone want to buy me this chair? It's a straight up 60's arm chair and makes me want to set fire to my current orange Ikea chair just to be able to have an excuse to buy this for $350 at my downstairs vintage shop.

Just saying... I like it.
