Yes, that's $7.99 for a vintage, marble-topped side table. Tag also reads, 'Must Go Today'...well, I can certainly help with that:
And:
We came. We conquered. We Thrift Whore'd.
And look what the streets of NYC has served us today:
Only in NYC would y'all find authentic mid-century furniture in da TRASH...what! what!...this is Kartell's Componibili 2 drawer side table, which rest assured, costs a pretty penny...vintage or new:
And then we pull back for a wide shot and see another section of this baby, buried beneath the first section...shiot:
See, y'all this is what this side table looks like when she's at her best, not chillin' in a trash can:
So, now y'all know why I was tots backslapped when I found this lady in a trash can!!!...the shade:
See, this treasure hunting is exactly why me and my genius Trashinistas (Alane & Andy) partnered with Mark Mark Productions on a tv show concept called, Trash NYC that we pitched to networks (featuring the FAB Carly Hughes)...which y'all can watch for y'all-selves below:
Now got out and get y'all-selves some Free Shiot-- from the trash, the curbs, dumpsters...there's some style lurking about, just aching to be discovered and Trashformed!!! Happy Friday!
Thursdays are always such a treat around here! Especially when I've been out whoring for thrift. This week was even more treat-ful b/c I was accompanied by one of my nearest and dearest, Alane...a.k.a., Tae...we hit the local Housing Works, just in the nick of time too...look at the scene out in front of this place:
Damn! These whores are just ravaging those bins, y'all!!! Get IT! Why? Some sort of Fall sale--- there's a purple sign in the window that's partially blocked by a man's head, but it reads, 'Fall'...
Anyway, seasonal sales tend to set a special blend of frenzy in folks that your average every day sale situation can't touch...and as a Thrift Whore, I'm not immune either, folks...not at all! And throw in this metal bed frame and it's full-on manic panic:
Believe it or not, this baby is metal under all that brown blah...on wheels...and that rounded footboard is just slaying me with style! I don't need a bedframe, but at $20, I can't NOT buy this biotch...imagine how AMAZING she'll look when she's stripped down to bare metal...yum! The mirror is just as 'licious, but she's an ambitious $75, so she's gettin' left behind... There wasn't much else in the store to shake a stick at, sadly, but you know true commitment to the whore-ery when we forced that bedframe into Tae's 1984 Mercedes...that's a leg hanging out of the trunk with a pink scarf tied on for 'safety'...happy whoring, y'all:
