1950s Vintage Furniture...My Guilty Pleasure!
Posted on 2:18 AM by follow me
I was just reading a lovely blog by Fiona the "Straight Talking Mama" from Notorious Kitsch about Guilty Pleasures! Which has made me want to confess one of my biggest guilty pleasures...which is vintage furniture! I spend hours upon hours clicking "next page" on ebay and Etsy...I watch a zillion vintage items knowing I will never buy, but somehow it feels like it could be possible with them in the "watch" list. This category should really be renamed "Wish list". If that was not enough, I love nothing more than wandering around flea markets and antique centres looking for buried treasure.
My era of choice is the 50s and I need no pursuading when I spy an original 1950s side board or console table. Now Mr.B and I live in the Sussex countryside we have discovered we are only 7 miles from Lewes which is made up of antique centres and auction houses...there maybe trouble ahead... These are two of my most recent guilty pleasure purchases:
A 1950s Foot stall only £12! Purchased in the Upper Gardner Street Antique Market in Brighton
A 1950s side table only £15! Purchased once again from the upper gardner street antique and flea market in Brighton
So skirts and suits...what are your guilty pleasures?
