I wish you were my next door neighbor. Your posts are so fun to read and I love how you have such an eye for all things awesome. Our husbands have some common history so I appreciate those posts as well. You can come through on the other side : ) thanks for your inspiration…creative and otherwise.

I had the exact same experience earlier this year. Scored a vintage Danish Teak Credenza for $49 at a second hand store. Then googled it online only to learn that it was worth 10-20x that. Great find on your end!

Great find!! I LOVE googling my finds, and I usually do it before I even leave the store. I like to know just how good of a deal I’m getting before I commit. 🙂

Fab, green, and thrifty find! It looks so similar to my dining room set — purchased from the original owners for $350 off eBay, a massive set which I hope to have forever! Don’t you dare paint that, its a quality piece that will decrease its value if painted. Basically you’d be making a piece worth $900, worth what you paid for it! Yes, I always check finds. I used to be a shop owner and flea market booth vendor, as well as occasionally sell online. But more than knowing the worth, I enjoy learning the history of pieces and feel this knowledge helps me with my collections as well as if I decide to sell something. XXX Suzanne

Hi Mandi!

I am so so so in Love with Vincente Wolf’s rugs (specifically: https://www.tufenkiancarpets.com/collections/vicente-wolf-designers-reserve.html) but they are a million dollars, do you have any diy ideas or some sort of less expensive alternatives? thanks!

This happened to me like 2 months ago!!! I found this great MCM dresser on Craigslist who wanted $100. I ran across town to look at it in person and it was gorgeous and near mint! I bought it on the spot knowing nothing about it and after one eBay search I discovered it was a rare Broyhill piece from their Sculptera line. The one I found on eBay was at $650 and going up. It’s so awesome when we stumble upon these magnificent finds!
