I found my camera at last (woop woop!), so I can show you the pictures of the furniture I got a couple of weeks ago.  I went to “look around” The Red Collection (http://www.theredcollectiononline.com/) and ended up with three large pieces of furniture.  But I got a lot of bang for my buck, and I learned the used furniture shopping method.  If you see something you like, take the tag immediately!!  If you take the time to linger and decide, especially on a Saturday morning, you are likely to lose your favorite piece.  I could have spent about 827 times what I did and I still would have wanted more!!  The store was seriously awesome.

Anyway, on to the pics.  I have to apologize for the poor quality of the photos.  I’m sure I’ll have better ones at some point!

1.  Blue Antique Settee

I can’t wait to get this bad boy upholstered.  We will have to wait and decide on our “color scheme” before I decide on a fabric, but I’m thinking something elegant and sophisticated like one of these:

2.  Chest of Drawers

I love this for storing special dining pieces, like platters and serving trays.  But I’m more tempted to remove the top drawers behind the doors and make it into a bar.  Maybe something like this:

I also love the idea of putting cute little knobs on it, like these from Anthropologie:

3.  Gold Console Table-  Even though this piece may need a little shine brought back into it and a new piece of glass, at a whopping $30, I couldn’t pass it up!

I plan to clean it up and either use it in the entry way, or as a sofa table like this:
