apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i would love some validation on my recent (yesterday) ebay score. but i can't figure out how to post the photo.
see it here http://bookerstreet.blogspot.com/ and let me know what you think, please. i'd love to hear any thoughts! it is my first ebay furniture score!

What kind of big-ass tooth brushes would fit in that rubber stamp carousel? It's gargantuan. Seems akin to parking a car in your house so you can use the mirrors to check your lipstick. It is a fine line between stupid and clever.

I love the idea of parking a car in my house to check my lipstick!

now I just need

a car

a house

and

a lipstick

ps
I think the toothbrushes go in the smaller holes...

I feel compelled to respond to "the toothbrushes go in the smaller holes" but will refrain.

Molly, WHY OH WHY do you not have a store?! Do you buy much on Ebay or just live vicariously? Ebay should hire you as a "curator" and give you your opwn daily top ten section... sort of like the "Employee Picks" in Blockbuster...

opwn = own

Having a store would be great fun, Patrick, but I recently moved to Louisville, and the antique malls here are full of heavy, ornate furniture, which seems to be what people here want. That and Thomasville. We have no Room nor Board and neither Crate nor Barrel. We have exactly one tiny midcentury shop. In fact, I had to drive out of state to find a sofa. My dining room table is being sent from North Carolina.

[There is, however, a Design Within Reach somewhere in Kentucky, and if they ever have a clearance warehouse sale, I will be first in line.]

I have no business training whatever, and I like my freelancer's life.

Thus far I've bought side tables and a pair of slipper chairs via Ebay, which I had reupholstered and plan to sell. My best find was probably a pharmacy funnel for $3 that I turned into a lamp.

So gracious of you to share your finds!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your warm response. I hope to continue my treasure-hunting for AT.
