Its that time again folks.
Time for uterus wrenching jealousy to take hold.
Time for you to see all of the amazing furniture possibilities that you couldn’t have created in your wildest dreams.
Time for you to become insta-BFFs with these people…because one day far far away they might want to sell, and you have to secure your first place in line. I know I am.
This of course means that it is time for the next Cold Dead Fingers post, where I show off YOUR favorite pieces of furniture to the world so we can all oogle and be inspired! Make sure you hashtag #colddeadfingers on Instagram for your change to be featured!
I think that this campaign buffet is pretty much the most amazing thing of my life. I would honestly trade any piece of furniture in my house for it. I mean, this is like the Hope Diamond of campaigners.
We all have furniture people will have to pry out of our #colddeadfingers $75.00 yard sale find; comes in 4 pieces plus bases… Started out bright yellow!

Sometimes I dream about things. I think about how much I love them for a really long time and then hope that one day I will be blessed with it at a thrift store. Do you know what has been on my list for at least a year? A Pendleton Blanket. Like this one…

I love little tufted velvet side chairs. They are a great first DIY project because they arent horribly hard to update. This one is SO beyond amazing though. The circles make it so unique and delish and the velvet looks like it is in pristine condition…lucky girl!

I got this beauty for $7. at an auction! 🙂

Sometimes the best finds are ones that make you take a second look. These pieces usually turn out to be my favorite. You know that ones that at first glance you say “Hmmm. I dont hate it.” Then at second glance you realize that you cant live without it? That is totally what I would have done with this light fixture. Amazing score!

My recent Craigslist find! A sweet little light fixture. I named her Flora. A#colddeadfingers find for sure.

I cant stop it with the midcentury wooden dressers. Like they are just so good at being gorgeous with no effort. If I were a piece of furniture I could NEVER be as cool as a MCM dresser.

Too excited to share to wait for a Rental Revival post. This dresser is HUGE and takes up half the wall, but it’s slim and fits ALL OF MY CLOTHES (except the ones hanging up) with one drawer to spare! It was only $60!

Ok my lovies, do you have a piece you want to show off? Upload it to Insta and tag it #colddeadfingers.
We are starting a movement here. Remember when Paris and Nicole started “That’s Hot”? Well I feel like Cold Dead Fingers has HUGE potential. Lets use it in a sentence shall we?
Me: Holy man alive. I just scored the greatest dresser at Goodwill!!
You: On a scale of 1-10 how good is it?
Me: Cold Dead Fingers.
You: *GASP* Shut up! I might have a heart attack if I dont see a picture of it right now.
Got it? Lets make it work people.
These are some amazing picks! The thing I always hate about things like this, where people were just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to find something at an auction or thrift store or whatever (which I do all of the time, too), is that the only thing you can do is keep shopping and hope to come across something similar. But, that’s what make them such great additions to a home! You’ve definitely inspired me to start sharing my thrifting pics though!

Just for more successful CL hunting, the blanket you lust for is NOT a Pendleton but a Hudson Bay blanket. I happen to have one we are not using…
Squeal! I have that chair! I just bought it this summer at a garage sale for $15. Definately a #colddeadfingers situation for me too. Mine is (very tired) orange velvet. It’s getting new fabric.
Great finds! I am so jealous…lol. Thanks for sharing And I always look forward to your reading your posts…it is refreshing. http://Www.joyouseclecticism.blogspot.com
I am beyond flattered to have my sweet little light fixture included among this amazing list of #colddeadfingers finds!!! Thanks so much!! And you are starting a movement for sure. I am using this phrase all of the time now and even have friends and family using it too! This is such a great idea and I love seeing everyone’s treasures! Can’t wait for the next round.

Beautiful finds! That campaign buffet is amazing! I thrift with a passion, but haven’t come across any furniture that awesome yet. Back to the hunt!
Gypsy Plunder Vintage 25% OFF Sale!
I LOOOOVE #colddeadfingers AND I am going to EMBRACE it! I just got an old sewing table that is soooo COLDDEADFINGERS!! I am going to strip it and paint it turquoise and GOLD LEAF the drawers. 😀
That buffet is freaking gorgeous! In a million years I would never be lucky enough to find something that amazing!
I love watching for the Cold Dead Fingers posts. These are some great finds and I love the mock conversation you had at the end. It had me giggling as I could see myself having a convo like that with my sister. I only have 1 item that is a cold dead fingers item but alas no Instagram. Maybe I should make an account so I can join the fun.
Thanks so much for featuring my MCM dresser! I am obsessed with it. My blog has some more finds so be sure to stop over and check it out!
Ahhhh, now I can go to bed and dream about this amazing campaign buffet. The end!
Oh my word, that campaign credenza is TO DIE FOR. I am so insanely jealous/in love with it!
Love seeing Megan’s mcm dresser on here too!!!
The MCM, COLD DEAD FINGERS!
