Happy Monday! Last week my hubby purchased the contents of an old home and while a lot of it was junk, we did find a few goodies, one of which was a very cool vintage metal cart/table. I immediately remembered seeing something similar at Pottery Barn, so,
I was pretty happy that this was among all the junk.
We thought this was the perfect space for it. And I thought it would be great to use as a snack or drink cart for our own kiddos or when we have guests over since this is usually the room we entertain in.
Another special little find was this set of glasses with a "G" on them, perfect for our family. I almost didn't find them as they were in the bottom of a box covered in ick. But after a couple of hand washes and a go through the dishwasher, they are like new.
The cart is metal with castors and the shelves are heavy porcelain, maybe? I'm not really sure, but they are very heavy. I didn't have to do anything to it other than give it a good cleaning.
We also found this cute little silver bowl that I filled with pumpkin seeds,
one of our favorite snacks.
one of our favorite snacks.
We're just crazy about this nifty little table and think it fits in perfectly with the rest of the room.
I love little surprises like that. What do you think?
What a great find! And you are right - looks like it was made for that spot! Brenda M.

DeleteThe table is beautiful. You guys find great stuff. I love where you put it and how you're using it. Great glasses and bowl too! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy!
DeleteAre the shelves marble? That would make sense for its original use. I love the glasses having a G name also! Love visiting your blog - you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteDani, we were thinking they could also be marble, too. They are really heavy and chip easily, as I discovered while trying to wash them. :)
DeleteLove the Cart! what an awesome find!

ReplyDeleteHi Amber, it's salvaged bowling alley floor! :)
DeleteWow! What awesome finds. And it's inspiring to me as I quite often dismiss 'dirty' things, so perhaps I need to take a closer look in the future and I might find some 'treasure'!
ReplyDeleteThe dental cart is perfect for that spot and so stylish! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower- I was wondering where you got the little side table beside your couch. Love the think wood top!
Thanks, Becca
Hi Becca! I made the little table with an old iron frame and salvaged bowling alley floor. :)
