This past week I had been lucky at Goodwill. I just thought I’d share some of the things I came across. You know I don’t need a blankety blank thang, but I’m actually addicted to the thrill of the hunt.. ( I need therapy – seriously) – someone please introduce me to Will Power… chuckles.
Well here we go with what I saw… This dusty little cooler bag was the perfect size for my son to take with him out fishing. Judging by the dust on the outside, I knew it was going to be dirty inside…
But I was totally surprised – how wrong I was! (and btw.. it was $2.75)
Then I came across these office chairs.. Yes they were a bit outdated, but nothing that some new fabric and spray paint can’t fix – the wheels work perfect (I scooted around for a test drive). They were $2.75 each (what a steal)
Up next – these chairs… I really dig the modern shape and yes, they were comfortable and sturdy. The wood was in perfect condition. Just update the fabric and they’d be a great pair of vintage inspired sitting chairs. The best part – their bargain price $5.75 each
This slipper chair was just $4.87 (let’s ditch the outdated orange velvet fabric – blah- with some new up-to date fabric and you’ll have fantastic slipper chair. This also was a comfortable chair..the springs were in tact
I really wanted this two-seater sofa, but someone plucked the tag (beat me to the punch). I just imagined a nice metallic paint and new fabric would make this a fabulous piece. The price?? a mere $42.75
Lucked up with another macrame plant holder for $1.75 (I couldn’t leave this behind)
So you see why I enjoy the thrill of the hunt. So I guess you’re wondering what I came home with..well..truth is… none of them (except the plant holder). Will Power almost came to the rescure, but as I was walking out the door, I glanced over at the shoe section.. (WHY??? I’ll never know – I never-ever look at their shoes.. and I mean never) but for some reason the shoes didn’t look “beat up”. I spotted these sandals – never worn in mint condition. I tried them on – perfect fit! Hmmm… I really like them for my jeans.. so home they came…. and guess what.. they were $2.87 – LOL!!! I had to smh and say “Kim (my alter ego) GO HOME”
So … you feel where I’m coming from…. I love the thrill of the hunt. What about you?? Someone please tell me I’m not alone..LOL!
Thanks for finally writing about >A Goodwill Week | VivaLaVintage – For Your Home <Liked it!
My pleasure…
Those second office chairs I have one of those and we can not figure out how to take it apart. I also have a rounded wicker back one both came from a business that was going out of business. I want to reupholster them so bad simply because I do not think they would be hard to do. If I can only figure out how to get them apart. Your making me want to go to our goodwill and salvation army store this week I have not been in awhile..
I just left a lengthy message, and it got eaten! I don’t know if maybe it went to your email or not. Rats!!! Technology!!!
You crack me up with your pretty little feet! Good find on the sandals! Love that slipper chair! And I totally understand enjoying the hunt! Will Power went on vacation! So enjoy your Goodwill Hunting!
Are you sure you don’t want to go back there and get that furniture. Oh, my gosh, I would in a heart-beat! That French double chair…I so want that!
Lol.. Ginene , believe me… I really, really, really want to.. But I honestly don’t have a need … The French chair would have come home with me, but someone got it before I could get it..
