I found this awesome side table at the Unique on Howard last week:
A little bit chippy, but I love it, with its curved little legs. Unfortunately, the gol-darned thrift store DUCT TAPED the glass to the painted wood, resulting in three sides that look like this:
…rendering it unsellable, I would think. I don’t have time to repaint it. A very similar thing happened to this adorable couple I got at an estate sale on Saturday:
HOW CUTE ARE THEY? I spent $10 on them, WAY more than what I would usually spend, but I just love them. However, that $10 price tag was taped on with MASKING TAPE and it took off some paint from the young man’s jacket. I checked on eBay, and this pair sold for $152 a couple of weeks ago, but I’m sure the paint loss will affect the price I can get for them. I was actually considering keeping them, anyway, so maybe I will now. This was an estate sale that used masking tape for price tags! What the heck, man?
